Professor just reads off of the slides and the lecture material doesn't help you for the final anyways. The midterms and final are worth 90% of your grade with 10% being mandatory lab attendance. The two midterms aren't too bad if you paid attention but the final was way different than what we learned. Tanked my grade from A to a B after a curve.

Don't take this class for PSTAT 10.

she is sweet but by far one of the worst professors i have ever had at ucsb. she reads off her slides and the code demonstrations are already written, meaning that she sits down and doesn't really teach. her mc tests are 90% of your grade and really tricky, and there are two mandatory sections a week. would really recommend another professor.

Super sweet grandma type of lady but didn't bother to put effort/do anything in lecture outside reading notes/writing examples off slides She's better off retiring and you're better off skipping, got an A skipping most lectures Sections are required tho and TA was amazing explaining concepts/questions, that's where I got most learning/studying done

Avoid her at all costs! she's sweet lady but a terrible teacher who makes the course unnecessarily hard. The grade is based on two midterms(20%x2) and a final(50%).The midterms were very tricky. Prepare to face 50 ridiculous questions for the final. Students have been complaining about the unfairness of the questions for years but she doesn't care.

don't take her. probably a nice grandmother though
