confusing lectures, doesnt teach and doesnt respond to emails. the midterm was hard (way too hard for undergrad class) and you dont really learn anything so if youre a stats major pls dont take her

Her lectures were pretty incomprehensible and hard to follow. She will literally never respond to emails and TAs can't get a hold of her. Homework and quizzes were graded on completion which helped your grade but did not help you learn. The midterm was extremely difficult that she had to make the final exactly like the review and midterm.

Coburn is easily one of the sweetest and kindest professors, but i was not a big fan of her teaching style. Lectures are very theory based, which doesnt transfer over to the homework and midterm material. The midterm and final are extremely difficult, I got a C on both exams despite studying 20+ hours for each and going to office hours

Don't expect an easy class, times have changed. 30% midterm, 30% final, 40% basically guaranteed. Tests were graded nicely, but it was hard to solidly learn any of the concepts at all during lecture. She was a cootie pootootie and really nice and respectable. If she could change her teaching style slightly, learning outcomes would be better.

Exams felt hard, and the slides didn't help me study for them. The only resource that was given is a list of textbook problems, but I would have appreciated having actual practice exams since many times the questions end up being different. HW and quizzes are graded on completion, so if you're unable to keep up, you may end up cramming at the end.

120B itself is extremely hard but Prof. Coburn does her best to make it easy on students. Homework is graded on participation, has EC, she's flexible if you're struggling, v helpful in office hours, & puts tons of effort into making clear lecture slides. TAs were awful at grading tho so check your graded midterm. Class moves v fast so study hard.

This class serves as punishment for many of those who takes Coburn's class because they desire an easy A and don't want to learn.

1. Super hard and long midterm that is impossible to finish within 75min. 2. an average around 68 for midterm, no curve. 3. 10 super hard and time consuming challenge homework questions for extra credit, and only worth 1% applied to homework only (basically nothing). 4. Lecture slides full of mistakes. 5. Impossible to reach.

As the lecturer who received degree in psychology, I highly doubt her ability of teaching statistics. Calculation mistakes appeared frequently in her ppt instead of essential steps, which she clearly ignored. The average of mid was 60% with 36 students failed. Although she does give freebies and extra credits, BE PREPARED TO LEARN BY YOURSELF!

Truly a wonderful person and even more impressive Professor. Nothing but respect and admiration from me!

best in the world

Dr. Coburn cares more about being liked by her students (by handing out As like candy) then she does about teaching statistics. In fact, I am not even certain that she knows statistics. She fails to answer students questions, frequently makes mistakes in class, and her slideshows are near incomprehensible and riddled with errors. review continued

One of the nicest profs out there. She is very understanding and will help you understand the material to the best of her ability. Homeworks based on completion and exams/quizzes are take-home. However, you still must understand the material quite well to do well on the exams/quizzes. Don't be scared to ask questions, she loves questions!

Professor Coburn's kindness was so needed last quarter! She was incredibly helpful and accommodating no matter what kind of difficulties we were going through. She expects you to do well, but will give you the support you need to succeed, unlike so many other professors. Best professor I've ever had.

After a horrendous experience with 120A, I was delightfully surprised by Professor Coburn's compassion. She is a very good professor and even took time to review some 120A stuff that not everyone had learned previously. She even offers extra credit and makes the class easy to pass. Take her if you have the chance. :)

Professor Coburn is super sweet. She gives lots of opportunities for extra credit and freebies on quizzes/homework, and will give extensions if you need them. Her quizzes are kind of hard and you definitely need to go to class, but her friendly demeanor makes up for it.

Frequently made mistakes on example problems and often did not give clear answers to student questions. Resulting slow pace led to us missing 2 full weeks of content. Didn't really promote understanding of material, just how to plug in formulas. Honestly not even worth the easy A for PSTAT majors. Take someone else if possible

Dr. Coburn is a really sweet lady and posts all her lecture videos online for 120C. The exams are tough and you won't find the answers in hw or anything, but doable if you watch all the lecture videos in entirety. Pay close attention to hw because it is graded with scrutiny. She is super caring and helpful in office hours so definitely go.

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 :)

Dr. Coburn is very accessible and easygoing. She exhibits an optimistic and caring attitude during her lectures, which are quickly paced and heavy on content. Even though course material is challenging, homework problems from the textbook are graded on completion, with online quizzes provided weekly and a single note sheet allowed on each exam.

Coburn is an alright teacher but good if you are ready to learn without the pressure of grades. The tests are identical to problems in lecture/homework, and sections are super organized and teach you a lot. Lectures themself went slowly but lots of time was spent on each problem, and it took very little work outside of homework.

Seems most people either hate or love Dr. Coburn but as long as you go into it without the notion that you're getting an easy A & actually study - you'll do well in her class. She is a bit tough to reach outside of class & does make calculation errors in her slides but the study guides prepare you well for the midterm/final + cheat sheets allowed
