I took this course because Dr. Bugrara advised us to take it with Dr. Lai. I am stuck now. can not drop it and it is just very disorganized course. each week, we get different guidance on assignments and grading. very annoying. I would not do it again.INFO7374 2026-09-29 15:05:00 +0000 UTC
Professor Lai is a joke. He uses chatgpt for everything. The course is advanced LLM and I expected to learn hard math before LLMs. ended up with very shallow chatgpt slop material. Professor Lai uses chatgpt for all assignments. Keep changing assignments because he did not even read them. They are LLM generated slop. NOPE. Never again.INFO7374 2026-08-22 04:49:32 +0000 UTC
Simple. Professor Lai uses Chatgpt for all assignments. He writes a prompt for an assignment and does not even proof-read. Literally assignments has chat prompt within them before he realizes and removes them off canvas. Knowledge-wise, not really much unless you have no background in LLMs. Useful was north to None. Certainly would not recommend.INFO7374 2026-08-22 04:43:00 +0000 UTC
