She really fails to explain the technical details. She is just reading from some slides and that's all. No examples at all. Also if you are not familiar with NLP previously, this course it not suitable for you. She gives some high level intuition about the topics and never goes through the technical details.
The load is tedious while assignments are not helpful at all.
The project is not well designed. It is like any thing you want to do with LLMs and write a report.
Many sessions are wasted for student presentations which videos are already available in BruinLearn.
The syllabus almost has nothing more than the undergraduate courses. If compared to other graduate courses, it is not informative at all.
Exams are tricky and all multiple choice but reasonable.
Wait until another professor teach this beautiful course.

Not recommended. Somehow, this professor is giving me HCI vibes. The assignments are tedious chores with no coding or math involved. The first assignment involves reading some dumb papers and then writing a summary. The second assignment is even worse—they give you 15 question-answer pairs, feed them to ChatGPT, observe, and then write a report. What a joke. The final project is also a huge abomination, similar to the second assignment.. The tests are easy, all multiple choice, if you already know the content. However, they will likely be challenging if you know nothing about NLP beforehand, as this professor provides zero examples. The actual course content is only about half of what a course should be, as we had two midterms and a three-week student presentation at the end of the semester, also holidays. If you truly want to learn about NLP, take courses with Dr. Sun or Kao. Even though their courses do not have NLP in the title, you will learn much more about NLP from them. Overall, a huge disappointment of a course!
