  • Somewhat arbitrary evaluation. Would've liked an in person class more, had really interesting material but online format doesn't really support learning. Probably the first course in machine learning and analytics that is actually helpful in AFM

  • Interesting course, a lot of machine learning and Studio. There are 5 assignments and 1 midterm and 1 final project. Very heavy R coding, but if you understand the codes and try doing them, it's a good course. Definitely learnt so much R and enjoyed it!
