The most useful class in the program with the optimal blend of theory and practice, technology and business. The professor was the perfect fit to teach this class - touched on practical aspects of applying analytics to specific business context that other classes glosses over. Wish he taught more courses in the program.Rate My Professors ↗

Not a good lecturer, and your grade was heavily reliant on quizzes that were hard to predict and often included material that was hardly mentioned.Rate My Professors ↗

Professor Karunakaran is a nice guy. He was caring and his lecture is not test heavy. He really wants students to learn practical skills that can apply to your working area. I would say his lecture and slides are helpful.Rate My Professors ↗

Bipin was friendly and patient with the students. He was very patient, going back through steps that students missed or misunderstood multiple times. He was also always upbeat, he was passionate about data visualization, data analysis, and machine learning / how gen ai will affect our lives, but kept it simple and achievable for the students.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
I really appreciated how hands on the course was, it was fun to actually code, run through machine models, and play around with data. I also appreciated that the professor made it easy to succeed in this course-- hard skills like coding aren't familiar or required for many post business school jobs, so making it easy to succeed in the course.Rate My Professors ↗

This prof is unorganized, his code is random and hard to follow. He's more a tech guy than a good lecturer. The course is overall easy but no way I'll take his course again.Rate My Professors ↗
