My favorite professor at Northeastern University. He developed my curiosity for SEO and NLP. I love the subject. The tests were challenging! But overall the professor is amazing. You should take the course.CS6120 2024-01-15 17:52:01 +0000 UTC
Smith is an good lecturer, who's knowledge of philosophy makes the course even more engaging. He's clearly passionate and knows his stuff. He perhaps spends too much time drilling the same concepts over and over which can be boring, but that results in knowing most of the stuff really well.cs4100 2023-04-24 16:42:45 +0000 UTC
