131 with coburn was probably one of the best classes i've had at UCSB. you can tell she really cares about the material and how passionate she is. the project was also super useful

Good professor with knowledge of the subject. Straightforward in their expectations and lectures.

She was really organised for this class and fair and it was pretty easy to do well. 5 homeworks - one due every two weeks worth 10% each, and you were allowed submit up to two homeworks up to a week late with no penalty. Final project worth 50% which you could do on whatever and she tells you all about that right at the start.

I took Coburn for 120A my junior year and didn't love her as I felt like she didn't teach us enough. This course, on the other hand, she teaches very well. It's a lot of fun as 50% of the class is working on a final project and the rest is homeworks that help you with that project. She's genuinely fantastic at teaching this class.

She is a fantastic professor in all aspects. My only qualm with her is her unresponsiveness over email, but this is mostly because I don't go to class :)

I got an A according to my assignment grades + my Gauchospace grade and on GOLD I have a B. I reached out to Coburn about this but she's highly unresponsive so I reached out to my TA TWICE as well. My grade is STILL wrong and probably won't ever be fixed. I just graduated so like whatever but this isn't an issue students should have to deal with.

Love Coburn so much. I took 120B and 131 with her. She's the best professor in the stats department period!

50% homework and 50% final project, very clear about the grading critera and very very generous about grades. Super nice prof and an easy A for basically all classes she teaches. Never responds to emails though, so go to office hours/lecture for questions. Great professor and I learned a lot.

Dr. Coburn was great. She's a really nice person overall. Also probably the easiest A you can get in the PSTAT department for every course she teaches. One problem is that she never responds to emails so you have to find her in person during lectures. Take her if you want good grades but don't expect to learn deep into the materials.

Absolutely one of the nicest professors at UCSB, but not that great in terms of teaching. Lenient Grading. Should be your first choice.

Had a group project. No exam. Topics are quite interesting.

Dr. Coburn was great in lectures, and made the concepts seem simple to understand, but the ease of homework, examples and quiz questions left me improperly prepared for the midterm and final question styles. Very accesible, and office hours are helpful. Weekly homework and quizzes, a midterm and a final exam.

The professor is calm and cool. The exams are a bit hard and I would recommend studying with lots of practice problems weeks before exams. I found that the practice exams were not as helpful as the lecture examples.

honestly 120A was fine if you studied and showed up to class. it was hard but idk who expects it to be easy

All my friends said that he was the easy professor for 120A, but his practice tests were NOTHING like the actual exams. Lectures were boring and not useful. Fully made me lose the passion that I had for statistics. Ended up taking this class P/NP and dropped my stats minor. None of the content is interesting or applicable to the real world.

Test materials are different from lectures. He said he would not test the materials he had taught in the last several minutes, yet he still gave one.

Studied hours a week and still nearly failed. The student's effort doesn't pay off because the tests were not taught properly in the lectures either.

Extremely tough grader. The exam questions were not completely relevant to what appeared on HW and Quizzes. Avoid him at all costs

Professor was lowk nice but exams were nothing like the practice ones given, better to just practice the CLAS ones. Lectures were behind and slow as we spent an unreasonable amount of time on elementary arithmetic. Went to every lecture, but still had to basically teach myself the course. exam grading is fair and hw/quizzes are light

run away from her at all costs

Coburn is a very nice person but the class was hard due to the structure. Had to do a lot of self teaching for homework because he was a week behind on lecture. We were still being taught 2 days before the final. Spent so much time on integrals that we weren't able to cover the stats efficiently.

A nice and respectable person, but he gives harsh grades. Messing up the exam so much that you are still significantly above the median will fail you in the course. Lectures didn't help so much either.

Exams were hard but fair. Couple students got perfect score on each one which shows they arent impossible. 120A is rough but doable if you put in the work. Lectures are boring. Shes nice tho. Would take again.

Tony Coburn is real nice. He offers extra credit and grades HW leniently. However, these are no excuses for lackluster lectures, where he hypnotizes you to sleep and spends dozens of minutes on an integral with about no regards to pace. Sometimes you go to lectures and immediately want to go home as the book is better at instructing. Not the best.
