took 120c online over the summer. overall good class, attendance was mandatory which sucked but otherwise fine

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

Sang is a considerate professor, and taught the course content in a useful, albeit monotonous fashion. A lot of new content to cover than most PSTAT courses, with weekly quizzes in lecture (open note!) and pointless sections, and while assignments were certainly doable some programs chosen were quite difficult to work with (especially the project).

Lectures were very slow and dry. Content seemed disorganized and jumped around topics week by week. Quiz every Thursday in person at the end of class. And there was a final group project, but it was just really tedious because of the online system we had to use. Overall very disappointing for a class I thought would be really interesting.

Coburn is very sweet and understanding. I will say sometimes the lectures can sometimes be hard to follow, but things like her posting handwritten notes I found quite helpful. Tests/quizzes aren't too bad

A mix of semi-lackluster lectures plus a bad TA (got unlucky, my TA was very dull and hard to understand) made me learn so little in this class, self-studying was much more effective. However, she's likely your best bet for the 120 series given decent tests and caring/kind attitude, even if she can be difficult to reach occasionally.

Didn't learn much from lectures, but easy tests and grading scheme made up for it. Overall would recommend taking.

Nice person but not very accessible outside of class. Lectures are lackluster, expect to self study a big portion of the class. Dont expect to leave with good knowledge of mathematical statistics.

I just self-studied for all the materials and got an A. Exams become easy if you can 100% solve all these practice problems.

Very bad and boring lectures. Do not take this professor if you actually want to learn anything.

The instructor was largely unresponsive to emails, including inquiries about the final exam. Even the TA had difficulty reaching her. Lectures were minimal and lacked depth, requiring significant self-study to truly understand the material. If you're looking for a course with strong guidance and engagement, this might not be the best choice.

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

The lectures were lackluster and behind schedule, making the course feel a lot harder than it really was. Coburn grades generously, but I feel that I've learned very little in her class.

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.

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.

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 :)

the way the class is weighted it is easy to get a good grade without doing that much however class was so boring i did not learn anything in class and I was confused all quarter long. I came away from this class feeling like I learned absolutely nothing.

Oh has a unique talent for ignoring student feelings and never bothers with such trivial matters as seeing things from their perspective. Truly, a 'remarkable' choice for anyone seeking an 'unforgettable' learning experience. Highly 'recommended' for those who appreciate the finer nuances of educational indifference.

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.
