He is passionate about the subject however his organization for this course is poor. His instructions on exams and the final project are confusing and unclear. Overall I would suggest avoiding the headache of having him as a professor in this class.

Newburger is very energetic and seems to be genuinely interested in the content he teaches but expects you to basically know what hes talking about before you walk in the door. Hes one of those no electronics in class professors but then teaches code on the board. Assignments, labs, and lectures are not thought out, often have errors in them. He has to allow a redo on midterms due to the class average being too low. Organizationally class is awful, TA's are of little help as well and grading is slow. Be prepared to do a lot of googling r code,

Professor Eric is a Very passionate professor during lectures and office hours, who is constantly patient and assisting students. Please feel free to contact him if you encounter any questions about the assignment or other in-class activities. Additionally, he will post the necessary code for R in the PPT in facilitating students to complete their homework and project.

Very nice, and passionate professor. Gives plenty of opportunities for students to re-do assignments and do extra credit. Lectures can sometimes get boring but try his hardest to make them informative. He doesn't really teach too much R, so you will have to self-learn that which isn't that hard to do. Sometimes the assignments are not very clear, but the professor is responsive to questions via email/office hours and the generic statistical testings can be easily found on youtube.

Easily the most passionate professor I have ever had. Very knowledgable about his material and always willing to provide additional help to students.

Eric is a really good instructor that is passionate about what he teaches. Obviously since he teaches a class on data visualization, he lectures almost strictly through visuals and examples. These lectures are very beneficial because he is full of energy and keeps your interest and attention. The only real problem I had was that he didn't adequately explain the software tools necessarily for completing assignments (Excel, Tableau, D3, etc.). However, overall he is receptive to these concerns and is willing to address them as they arise. He will also likely do more to combat this issue in future semesters. Ultimately, if you are willing to go to his lectures and ask questions when you are confused, he will do his best to make sure you understand and succeed.
