BAHAM M E
Dr. Baham structured the class in a rigid and straightforward path that after the earlier PSY courses will make sense and allow for an enriching experience for research basics. She's ready to work with you and kind, I found she gave really helpful feedback throughout. The final paper will be a slog for those who wait, along with the 2nd exam.
Good class, very easy to do well. Weekly quizzes based on lecture and 3 reflection one-pagers that were super simple. Midterm and final had repeat questions and were very straightforward. Only thing is the lecture slides seemed like word for word from the textbook so kind of boring and she kind of reads off them. But material is really interesting
She was very sweet and made clear rubrics with examples for each assignment. Can get an A if you have a simple topic you care about and follow rubrics. Two midterms, just make a quizlet of the info from the slides, learn from that and you'll be fine, readings aren't needed. Final paper seemed hard but the sections prepare you well for writing it.
I took Psy10A with Baham (course code wasn't an option) and I feel like I gained nothing from the lectures I attended. She seems sweet, but her lecture style is boring and repetitive, leaving you to have to teach yourself. Disappointing since research in psych is super interesting, but was rather mundane with her. The TAs carry the course.
This class was super chill. Lectures felt slow and she kind of rambled on a lot, but lecture slides were posted. Theres a lot of info, but the slides have everything you need to know. Tests were straight forward, quizzes were easy, I got docked points on my reflection assignments for stupid mistakes which was annoying but it didn't affect much.
Loved Prof. Baham. She is super understanding and drops the lowest reflection and quiz. You can retake quizzes till you pass too. Only thing is I feel sometimes her explanations are a little confusing but most of the time easy to clear up. Also loved her awkward humor haha.
Baham was a great professor. I was a little worried because of the reviews on here but she was pretty organized and the class was very easy to navigate. You complete a lab and homework assignment each week and have 2 midterms and a final. I found that the exams did not take the entire time and were all mcq.
Very straightforward in terms of grading criteria. Lectures well on the intricacies of the psychology academic papers department.
Definitely one of the better stats classes I've had to take. It was much easier to understand than PSTAT5a... She appreciates people who pay attention in lecture! Need the textbook for homework but the assigned questions are fair and pretty easy. Lab isn't very difficult either
I'm surprised her reviews are bad. She is an understanding and sweet professor who wants you to succeed, and her lecture notes are well organized and make sense if you pay attention during class. But yes, she could explain the materials in a more straightforward way. Other than that, she's really a diligent professor.
Took 120L: Dr. Baham is nice enough but it was not good. Lectures are irrelevant to the research project that is the entire point of the class. Every week, there is an individual Eli review assignment, eli review peer review, in-lab group assignment and in-lab individual assignment. ELI assigned Thurs night due Fri night. TAs nice but unhelpful.
Dr. Baham is very sweet but her lecture style does not adequately prepare you for the exams. The homework and labs are graded harshly. I have studied alot for this class and put effort into the assignments; however, her lectures are rushed and do not connect to the material to the standard at which her exams are testing us.
