Horrible instructor. Drop this courses when I saw a low scores in the first project and the description of the second. No chance to improve if you do badly in the first oneRate My Professors ↗

If you are painful to do group project, consider 340 rather than this course. Both he and TA are detrimentalRate My Professors ↗

Most awful instructor I met at UW-Madison. STAT 340 can be betterRate My Professors ↗
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Randomly assigned group project, hard interview questions —no all of us want to get a DS job! The second project / interview are harder. He doesn't give chance who work hard in the second half of course to success. Avoid and change major!Rate My Professors ↗
