Not a helpful professor. He teaches little about codings or theories and asks students to share and present a lot. A easy-pass class but not worth. I hope he would teach more about statistical theories, codings and how to use RPPUA5262 2026-09-30 16:05:30 +0000 UTC
Pretty cool Professor. Very innovative and appreciates out-of-the-box thinking.PPUA5262 2025-05-07 21:54:40 +0000 UTC
(Fall 2022) Best professor I've had so far, he is knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely wants the students to succeed. The lectures are very interactive where there are discussions and activities. Although I enjoyed this class & learned a lot, there was a lot of work every week which left me no breathing room for my other classes & commitments.PPUA5262 2022-12-08 05:33:40 +0000 UTC
