Amazing professor! I was nervous to take this course because I am not the best with MATLAB, but Prof. Ray is very helpful and is willing to meet with you one-on-one if you cannot make his office hours. His lectures are very clear, he posts his lecture notes on Canvas, and HWs are made up of mostly non-coding questions plus a few MATLAB questions, all of which are very straightforward if you follow the notes/read what he provides. Exams are very straightforward and fair -- if you review the HWs and the notes you will be fine. He also allows you to have a 1-sided cheat sheet on the exam. Hands down one of the best professors I've had for math and overall at UMD. |

Dr. Ray is extremely knowledgeable about his field and clearly cares about ensuring his class is fair and thorough. I really enjoyed his breakdown of the class. Homeworks (which include both theory/proofs and coding and application) were tough but fair. His office hours were helpful whenever I had questions. His exams were more intuition/big-picture concept questions and were a lot easier than the homeworks. The final project is a final report integrating the various machine learning approaches we have learned in class. I like how he designs the report to be possibly used as a mini-portfolio/reference for the future. While Dr. Ray is a new professor at UMD, I would say that he is already one of my favorite teachers. He sometimes goes a little quickly through the slides but all his lecture slides are posted on ELMS. I would highly recommend this class and Dr. Ray if you are interested in learning more about machine learning approaches! |
