She took over for Wainwright halfway through the quarter. Her notes were not that good and sometimes made me more confused (I could have made better slides). If you self-studied a little bit the class was fine.
Honestly I did not like this class with Ravat, she took over halfway through the quarter and the contrast was obvious. I was doing well in the class all quarter and suddenly got a C on the final after feeling confident on the entire practice test.
She is not that bad, deserves a 3.
I had her for the second half of the quarter for PSTAT10. Her teaching style helped me learn a lot and her slides were clear to understand. The only negative was that the final dropped my grade quite a bit. It wasn't particularly difficult, but I think since there weren't many questions, missing even a few would result in a B.
I was way above A before the final, dropping to A- after it. Professor Ravat is making questions in the way as if she is not intended to check your understanding on the course materials but just to make your grade worse.
She is as beautiful as an angel. She is so kind that it looks like she is sent to us by god. She inspired my logical methodology and enlightened my passion for statistics. Wading through beautiful programming materials provided, I was like a curious child exploring a mysterious but fancy castle. She is the best professor that I have ever met!
This professor is decent. I had her for the second half of PSTAT 10, and thought it was pretty good. I think she put a lot of effort into improving her slides from previous quarters (refer to scores below), and her explanations were pretty good. Multiple choice tests and quizzes for coding are always a bit annoying, but they were okay overall.
I was 93% before the final exam, but after the final, I got 73% in total. Super weird final, please avoid her!!!
She was inadequate at explaining ideas during lectures, and tried to control our collaboration on assignments when we were left confused afterwards. Her wording on quizzes/exams were tricky and I often didn't know what certain questions asked for. I knew I wasn't alone bc her class forum blew up w questions after a new topic was introduced.
I study pretty hard and am decent at coding before taking this class. But the setup of is ridiculous and you are graded on so few things, it feels like she doesn't want you to do well. It really shouldn't be this stressful. There were so many mistakes in hw and quizzes, and responses are so slow. Even announcements posted will have mistakes.
This professor does not care about her students at ALL. Some questions did not even show up on her lecture slides and you can't review past homework or quizzes for your midterm/final exam. Just don't take her class.
DO NOT TAKE HER COURSES!
The most difficult professor i ve ever had. she is always unclear about the arrangement of the class and the final is tomorrow we still havent got the assigned seat sheet. you never know the answer of homeworks and quizzes cuz the one she posted might also be wrong. AVOID pls.
Professor Ravat is literally the easiest teacher I've ever had. The midterm was exceptionally easy, and she offered 15% extra credit on the midterm since students didn't do as well as she wanted. The final was easy, and shes organized and dedicated to helping her students. The class requires bare minimum study, especially for an upper div course.
Bro I left a good review, don't take her, she's sweet but her tests r evil and everyone did so bad the average was a 50% and she still didn't curve and she said oh the test will be so easy, no it wasn't it ate me and spit me up and no curve just her “generous” 2% extra credit, don't take her unless u can teach urself EVERYTHING
Avoid going to lectures, you won't learn anything. She puts random complex formulas (slides) without properly explaining how they work. To get an A, put the lectures into gpt, ask it what formulas to memorize based on what criteria the problem gives/asks for and how to solve. She is entitled & can't teach (hence the rating) -also didn't curve.
Those who say the comments are racist and biased, there is definitely a reason why among many other professors, Uma is one of the ONLYs being rated at a low score.
Never post or claim anything about the midterm/ final average or median. She acts out being so nice and caring. The so-called extra bonus isn't really boosting anything. She is performing so hard to say "I wish you all succeed", and still making the grade as tough as possible.
Honestly I never EVER write reviews but she is such a sweetie and want to tell anyone that is thinking of her to take her. She is so caring and wants success for u, she offers EC, Online Quizes, HW that was graded easily. Yes her midterm was little hard but she understood we struggled and offered EC and modified grading. TBH people r racist & mean
i dont get the hate on here, its a hard class for sure and she has an accent, but she rlly is so caring and wants to see her students succeed. She doubled the curve for the midterm, and changed the grading system to give 2% extra credit to everyone who did the homework. RAVAT the goat
Good professor with fair grading criteria. Gives practice exams that are similar to the real exams. Kind lady with a real passion for teaching. Brought cookies for our class and gave them to those who participated
Tbh a kind and caring professor. Do not understand the hate on here, she's a very nice lady and definitely cares deeply about her students.
honestly one of my favorite pstat teacher. the first four weeks were hard but got easy at the end. midterm was hard but she offered 10% back and the final was similar to the practice and midterm. hw were hard but doable and she has weekly online quizzes worth 25%. she's so well organized and loves talking to study's. she really cares and sweet
Midterm practice questions were not on the midterm. She is the worst PSTAT professor ever, so please do not take her if you want to pass 120B. Awful grading system, and she sometimes skips trivial steps so it is hard to follow along with her.
