Nuno Martins ENEE469O Expecting an A Anonymous 04/13/2025	The first 3/4's of the course is linear algebra that you've seen in math240 so I didn't learn much new material. We only recently started getting into convexity (ie the most important topic in optimization). I think his lectures are rather slow but some people might like this. Homeworks aren't really that reflective of what's taught in class but doable. He told us the exact questions that were going to be on the midterm but somehow the average was a 60. He said our project was going to be assigned in mid March and it still hasn't been assigned. Not sure what the final is going to be like but overall this class is pretty mid.
Richard La ENEE469O Expecting an A Anonymous 05/21/2024	I took 324 and 469O with Dr. La. I think some of these comments are unfair. He is a great teacher if you make an effort and communicate with him at class/in office hours throughout the course of the semester. I'll admit, 324 with him was really difficult, but honestly that's because the content is pretty difficult regardless of who you take. The homework was really tough, but I felt as though it prepared you for the exams. For the seniors out there: take 469O with La if it's being offered. This is a really interesting class where you get to learn fundamental machine learning basics and how to implement them in MATLAB/Python. He's waaayyy more chill with his 400 level classes because he appreciates that you are likely a graduating senior. There were several weeks I was overwhelmed, and I asked him if I could turn in the homework a day late, and he would just move the due date for the whole class to the end of the week. He gave me an extra weekend for the final project when I told him I was overwhelmed with final exams. The exams were tough, but he was pretty lenient with grading them. All in all, great guy. Tough, but fair. Offers an interesting 400 level elective.
