COBURN K M
Dr. Coburn was great in lectures, and made the concepts seem simple to understand, but the ease of homework, examples and quiz questions left me improperly prepared for the midterm and final question styles. Very accesible, and office hours are helpful. Weekly homework and quizzes, a midterm and a final exam.
The professor is calm and cool. The exams are a bit hard and I would recommend studying with lots of practice problems weeks before exams. I found that the practice exams were not as helpful as the lecture examples.
honestly 120A was fine if you studied and showed up to class. it was hard but idk who expects it to be easy
All my friends said that he was the easy professor for 120A, but his practice tests were NOTHING like the actual exams. Lectures were boring and not useful. Fully made me lose the passion that I had for statistics. Ended up taking this class P/NP and dropped my stats minor. None of the content is interesting or applicable to the real world.
Test materials are different from lectures. He said he would not test the materials he had taught in the last several minutes, yet he still gave one.
Studied hours a week and still nearly failed. The student's effort doesn't pay off because the tests were not taught properly in the lectures either.
Extremely tough grader. The exam questions were not completely relevant to what appeared on HW and Quizzes. Avoid him at all costs
Professor was lowk nice but exams were nothing like the practice ones given, better to just practice the CLAS ones. Lectures were behind and slow as we spent an unreasonable amount of time on elementary arithmetic. Went to every lecture, but still had to basically teach myself the course. exam grading is fair and hw/quizzes are light
run away from her at all costs
Coburn is a very nice person but the class was hard due to the structure. Had to do a lot of self teaching for homework because he was a week behind on lecture. We were still being taught 2 days before the final. Spent so much time on integrals that we weren't able to cover the stats efficiently.
A nice and respectable person, but he gives harsh grades. Messing up the exam so much that you are still significantly above the median will fail you in the course. Lectures didn't help so much either.
Exams were hard but fair. Couple students got perfect score on each one which shows they arent impossible. 120A is rough but doable if you put in the work. Lectures are boring. Shes nice tho. Would take again.
