Dr. Baham grew on me. She's accessible outside of class and genuinely wants you to do well, even if she didn't know how best to teach. Receptive to feedback. If you self-learn alongside attending class and take advantage by asking questions and going to OH, you can do well without already having a foundation in stats.

Honestly Baham was not as bad as people are saying on here. Her lectures ultimately made sense, the only thing is that she really rushes the lectures towards the end. Tests are super easy as long as you know what you're doing. Also homework/labs were literally not graded that hard, you seriously just had to do what was asked.

Homework is 40% of your grade and they grade it pretty harshly. I got As on both the midterms but they are only 15% each. Due to my hw grade I still need a good score on the final (20% of our grade) to achieve an A in the class. She also rushes through lectures but overall a nice teacher just poor class structure.

Melinda is a very sweet professor and really tries her best. However her lecture style is very difficult to grasp onto and in the end most of what she talks about in lecture does not relate to the homework assignments or labs in terms of how to complete them. This class ended up becoming self study.

Really good professor, super nice. Pretty hard exams but if you do the homework and go to lecture you should be alright.
