She is very detailed and gives great information that is incredibly interesting, and this makes tests easy to study for and pass.  I am so sad that she isn't teaching this particular class anymore, but I'm positive she would be great otherwise.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/683029","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:29:25.936847+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTMxNzg0MjMy","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1564738","instructor_name":"Jung-Hye Shin","course_label":"DS501","course_id":"DS 501","course_uid":"course_4925cb96bb7a8d9a437bc1c1","review_date":"2019-05-06 17:04:05 +0000 UTC","comment":"Doesnt really tell you what you need to know before starting an assignment and then grades really hard when you dont do things the exact way she wants them done even though she didnt even tell you exactly how she wants it done.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1564738","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:20:50.488611+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM0MjcyMDYy","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2488922","instructor_name":"Marina Moskowitz","course_label":"DS501","course_id":"DS 501","course_uid":"course_4925cb96bb7a8d9a437bc1c1","review_date":"2021-01-13 17:14:07 +0000 UTC","comment":"She was my favorite professor this semester for my FIG (DS 501).

You will have to read quite a bit (she posts PDFs and links) and she makes this class 50% lecture 50% discussion. You have to read to know what to say and to write synthesis' on them. She has always been super accessible outside of class, and tries to makes lectures engaging.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2738955","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0}]
