I love him! He's so sweet and is super passionate about his career/academic field. Took him for AI and Media Frontiers and learned a lot about AI. Lots of homework assignments, but they're all relatively quick to complete. Definitely take this class if you're interested in learning about AI!jrnl3610 2025-11-22 01:13:49 +0000 UTC
Prof. Wihbey is great, his lectures can be a little long and boring but the course itself isn't very challenging. There is a lot of group work (at least once every class and a few outside projects) but the exams aren't challenging if you show up to class and have a basic understanding of the concepts. There's a fair bit of reading.jrnl1150 2024-11-21 17:22:29 +0000 UTC
Professor Wihbey is one of my favorite professors at Northeastern. He is super passionate about everything he teaches and really cares about his students. His assignments are really interesting, but not super difficult. He is very accommodating to students and always is willing to provide feedback. I definitely recommend taking his class!jrnl3610 2023-04-12 14:30:11 +0000 UTC
Grading system is so poorly done. 20% for a single paper that we rarely go over in class. Overall easy, but the weighting of your final grade makes it hard to finish with an A.jrnl1150 2022-11-07 21:50:40 +0000 UTC
