Machine Learning & Statistical Data Analysis

- maybe having more problem solving sessions as opposed to lectures or coupled with lectures to motivate class content

I do not have any in mind.

I would love to see more visuals about how and why certain models work better, etc. I had a harder time visualizing what was happening from lectures and mostly looked over things myself when doing homework’s.

Lectures need to match psets better

Making attendance mandatory

Recorded lectures

Teaching was too fast, was always ahead of the material and finished with time to spare whereas that time could've been spent going slower - Conceptually ideas were clear but would've liked more help going over the code

The organization could be good, but it was a little freeform, so it was hard to anticipate exactly what would happen in class.

- the in-class problem solving sessions were really interesting, showed how applicable class content was - the assignemts helped to reinforce learning

Coding with professor in class. Helped me understand new packages and models I previously did not understand.

I really enjoyed every part of the course overall it was amazing.

Online PowerPoints

Professor Singh is a great lecturer

Professor cared a lot about our understanding

In class coding exercises, I think they could be organized a bit better, but they were really helpful.

Walking through the code

- attended class - did assignments on time

I did readings that were optional, but I felt that they were helpful when understanding the bigger picture of machine learning.

I went to class

It improved my knowledge on machine learning.

Read documentation

Studying and learning extra outside of course

Engaging with the assignments.

- it was alright, wasn't too fast nor too slow

Good

Good pace; maybe a little slow

I found the pace of the course nice. It does pick up a lot once there is more complicated math, but overall it is doable.

I think the pace was good really understandable.

The class content was fast paced. However, the work load was not.

A little fast at times.

Too fast at times

- TAs were available for consultation outside class

Arnie Singh was amazing! Best TA he was really helpful and available!

Didn’t use them

Gautham and Vadin were great

Goutham!

I only engaged with Professor Singh for questions, and he was very quick to respond and helpful

There were at least 1 TA per day, which was good.

Very helpful.
