Despite being a math and CS major and having taken the math version of this class, I found the exams to be very challenging, especially the final exam, where I felt the multiple choice was too tricky and some of the free response questions to be stuff he didn't cover very much. The problem sets were long because of the coding part but they were not that bad. It's clear he barely curved the class and a lot of people cheated on the final by blatantly looking at their friend's papers and somehow none of the several TAs proctoring noticed, which was frustrating and was probably why the mean was high. Beware, this is a difficult class, especially if you've never done machine learning before.

First time leaving a review bc this class is confusing as f. Hard time for a cs and math double major to understand what this class is talking abt bc the professor doesn’t explain at all. Midterm median is 76 and final median is 80. Not sure if a curve will be applied. If you want an easy GE, avoid this one.
