Xi He BUFN745 Expecting a B- Anonymous 03/30/2023	The other 745 review is quite inaccurate and the star rating given is too high. The professor is very intelligent. He is not very good at explaining concepts. It's unfortunate that year and year again, he is the only professor who teaches the class. It's as if the reviews that were posted arent read by the administration.
Xi He BUFN745 Expecting an A Anonymous 03/22/2023	The course consists of: datacamp courses, two python individual assignments, group project, final exam. The nature of this class is very mathematical. The slides were lacking in interpretations, they had math formulas and graphs, but little explanations. Its highly important to write on the slides the logic/interpretations during lecture time, otherwise it would be hard to explain to yourself. The prof does his best to explain, he is shy and doesn't grab your attention. Its really easy to wonder off and not pay attention. However, if you force yourself to pay attention to his explanation, and ask him questions and to repeat points, you would help yourself a lot later on; as the material is definitely not intuitive nor self-explanatory. The in-class python applications were very good and helped a lot to understand the concepts, and to do the individual assignment. The prof was very friendly, very helpful in office hours, considerate of any special needs, also considerate of the difficulty of the course concepts.
