Fushuai Jiang DATA350 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/21/2024	Professor is a nice guy who is understanding but definitely grades harsher than you'd think and wants you to put in more effort for this class than you'd probably like to. He does offer extra credit for in class presentation and even more for attending other people's presentations. Overall he's a little better than mid. The class to me is honestly extremely boring. I absolutely dreaded each assignment, stopped going to class, and in general was not interested in R (only took the class to keep a scholarship). Fairly easy A as long as you put in the work, but don't expect too much from this class. I will say, going to class makes the content much easier to understand, and prof is great at walking through the process step by step in class.

I will say he grades the midterm/final project a little bit harshly, so make sure to put some effort into it. He wants you to go more in-depth regarding statistics beyond visualization. It's helpful if you know concepts from STAT401/STAT430 (hypothesis testing, correlation analysis, etc.) Attendance is not required but for extra credit. There's also a midterm presentation that you can do for extra credit as well. He's a pretty chill professor overall.
Fushuai Jiang DATA350 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/07/2024	Imo super boring class, but a pretty easy A. No exams and all project and homework-based. There is a final project/presentation for the midterm & final which build off of each other, and it's really just a standard data science exploration project. Sometimes the assignments can be confusing or mistyped, but they're not that difficult if you dont slack off. I stopped going to lecture a quarter into the semester, but I managed to stay on top of the work because of the resources he provides (websites & books). Literally everything you'll be doing will be in R(Studio) and with ggplot2 for data visualization instead of Jupyter notebook/Google colab (pandas). Professor is a really chill guy, but I guarantee you'll find this as more busy work than anything else.
