One weakness of this class is the organization and lecture notes of this class which were provided by the previous professor. Other than that, the class was awesome. ",

    "comment": "Professor Han is very knowledgeable about the material, but often the end goal was unclear. 535 was intended to be more of a data science course, but it felt like an extension of linear algebra with a focus on proofs. His philosophy with exams was to make them pretty hard, but grade them leniently. He is very accessible and understanding.",
