Got to be one of the top 5 professors of all time. His lectures were very insightful not just academically, but also helped me understand how a lot of things work in big tech companies. The quiz was quite difficult because they were based on actual interview questions, which from a learning point of view is a huge plus. If you understand the concept and do your own exploration of the topics a bit beyond the slides, it becomes much more manageable. The lectures and the material are very organic and provide a fresh perspective. When I see that the MSDS program is industry focused, this is the sort of teaching style I expect. He is also really funny and relatable.

Super easy class. You can use your phone and cheat on all quizzes. Nobody cares. Easiest A and no studying required.

Very knowledgable and has genuine curiosity for data science. His lectures are a little scattered brained and he could take a little more time to review the technical parts more in depth, but overall he keeps the material entertaining and relevant. His quizzes test critical thinking, not a multiple choice memorization style. Gives a lot of opportunities to make up points, but is maybe too lenient on standards. He needs to use the ELMS platform more effectively, he just throws everything into files instead of building the modules and assignment pages.

Prem is a good professor and you can and will learn a lot in his class if you're willing to put in work, especially on the big group projects. I've learned a great deal from class, Prem is very helpful and offers a lot of office hour time/zoom time that I took advantage of to ask him questions. He might not be as stringent on grading as some professors, which is what I presume other reviewers are referring to, leading to some to take advantage of that.

If you're looking for an easy A where you learn next to nothing, take his class. If you're looking to learn anything, look elsewhere. He just talks about Tesla stocks the whole time, and randomly says anything, often false statements. I know many who complained to the DATA/MSML head department about this professor.
