Nice guy, but you can tell he is just taking it easy on doing his job. Participation graded, but only goes over complex Python code in class no one understands and doesn't explain it. Tests are almost every week with essay questions given beforehand, but you teach yourself the concepts from Textbook and most aren't even in it. Don't learn anything.Rate My Professors ↗

Worst class I have taken at the b school. The McGraw hill homework coupled with the python notebooks in class make for a horrible combo. The exams are equally bad, for they are memorized essays. Nothing is learned, only temporarily remembered to regurgitate in a test you know the questions to ahead of time.Rate My Professors ↗

Only showed up to lectures for participation credit. Otherwise, I am on my computer doing other work, same as everybody else. Learned nothing from him. Not a good teacher. The class is pretty easy though as you can't be surprised on the midterms, he gives all the questions all you have to do is memorize the answers. This class is a jokeRate My Professors ↗

Most useless class I've taken. Every lecture goes through Google CoLab notebooks and python coding that is difficult to follow and also not taught explicitly. I didn't sign up for a coding class, I'm not interested in that. For exams, he gives you the questions before but it isn't as nice as it sounds because you have to teach yourself everything.Rate My Professors ↗

The whole lecture is going over Python code instead of teaching anything. Because nothing is taught, students are forced to try to teach themselves the test concepts through the textbook (though a majority of the questions cannot even be answered with the book). Exams every 2 weeks (graded harshly), despite nothing being taught in class.Rate My Professors ↗
