Professor Liu is an excellent professor who truly cares about students' learning. The lectures are well-structured, clear, and engaging. The professor is very approachable, both in and out of class. Assignments are fair, and they genuinely help reinforce the material. I learned a lot from her class and would highly recommend taking it.CSYE7105 2026-01-01 04:40:51 +0000 UTC
Professor taught the course using good problem sets and real applications. Classes were engaging and helped break down complex methods in a simple way. The course was mostly coding-focused and very practical, which made the concepts clearer and easier to work with and apply during assignments and project.DAMG6105 2025-12-16 22:52:15 +0000 UTC
The course is well organized and easy to follow. The professor is responsible and explains concepts clearly. The workload and difficulty are reasonable. If you're interested in machine learning, this is a good class to start with.INFO6105 2025-12-16 16:16:46 +0000 UTC
I was in her first lecture, and it seemed she was not confident about her explanation about the leetcode problem (two sum) she was teachingINFO6205 2025-05-27 15:13:38 +0000 UTC
Professor Liu made the introduction to Python very easy to understand. Through the materials and assignments, the knowledge I learned was solidified. Not only did I gain a clear understanding of Python's syntax, but I also understood why the code should be written in such a way. This has greatly helped me build confidence in using Python.INFO5002 2024-12-03 17:37:51 +0000 UTC
The professor taught this course in a way that prepared us for real-world scenarios and exposure to current industry technologies. The material went beyond theory, with a strong focus on practical understanding and hands-on application. By the end of the course, I felt confident enough to start applying for High-Performance Computing related roles.CSYE7105 2025-12-16 22:40:01 +0000 UTC
Professor Handan's is an excellent instructor who explained concepts with great depth. the class was fun and easy to follow and understand. Prof. Handan's DAMG6105 class is an excellent class to learn data science. the assignments and course material provides hands-on experince with technologies used in modern data science stack.DAMG6105 2025-12-16 21:18:59 +0000 UTC
The curriculum was brilliant, and I learned a lot. The professor has strong subject knowledge and explains concepts effectively.INFO6105 2025-12-16 14:59:46 +0000 UTC
Professor Liu has extensive professional experience and a strong understanding of what the industry expects. Her teaching is very practical—both the lectures and assignments are based on real-world situations. It really helped us get ready for interviews and understand what to expect in the job market.INFO6205 2025-04-26 01:05:41 +0000 UTC
This course sparks my love for Python. The assignments are detail-oriented and thought-provoking, truly helping me improve. Programming may seem complex, but by following the professor's guidance and completing each assignment, you're sure to make steady progress. I am deeply grateful for the professor's quality teaching and dedication.INFO5002 2024-11-10 15:48:08 +0000 UTC
It bridges ML and real systems work. You don't just learn models—you learn how to make them run efficiently on modern compute which is exactly what matters once datasets and training jobs get large. get meaningful exposure to things like distributed/parallel data processing and multi-process or distributed training patternsCSYE7105 2025-12-16 21:57:11 +0000 UTC
This course focuses on basic and practical coding. It is systematic and very useful for future work, very friendly for beginners. The professor is very nice. If quiz grades are not ideal, the professor will try to help, for example a make-up exam or adjusting the weight. I highly recommend Professor Liu's course!DAMG6105 2025-11-06 14:40:38 +0000 UTC
Professor's material is very good to understand and to build the foundations for the course. Professor's feedback throughout the course and guidance during project was really helpful and encouragingINFO6105 2025-12-16 04:55:32 +0000 UTC
Professor Liu is an amazing professor for INFO6205! She's very professional, patient, and incredibly nice to students. She explains complex algorithms clearly and always supports students through challenges. I highly recommend taking her class if you want to really understand programming structures and algorithms!INFO6205 2025-04-26 00:48:26 +0000 UTC
practice makes perfect, please get your hands on code and type anything you want to try in the jupiter labINFO5002 2024-11-07 20:44:40 +0000 UTC
