Reviews of professor Siddharth Krishnan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I enjoyed Dr. Krishnan's class. I thought the class was extremely challenging, but that's really the nature of the topics. If there's a math formula on the lecture slides, it will most definitely be on the quiz and/or test. He was helpful outside of class, so he's good professor too me. I would def grab a few cold brewskies with 'em.

He is a cool guy, but his lectures are nonsensical if you aren't hot with math or you aren't already a data science concentration. Assignments are not too challenging if you do independent research, the projects are a bit tough. The TA Michael is amazing. I wouldn't recommend to anyone who wants an easy CS elective.

Easily the worst professor I've ever taken. If educational inefficiency was a person, it would be Siddharth. If at all possible, don't take him. Save yourself the time. You won't learn anything and the group project at the end is brutal to the point of being macabre. This man and everything he stands for is a joke, and not a funny one, either.

The lectures and the tests feel like they're from completely different classes. There's no way to study with the material taught in the class. It's pretty much a guessing game of what formulas you need to google. Slow grader with very few assignments.

Dr. Krishnan definitely makes you work for your grade, but overall its a satisfying experience. He clearly explains the difference between programming and computer science! His course demystified the data science black box by explains that the fundamental math and stat behind big data.

Dr. Krishnan is a really nice and fun guy but doesn't teach concepts too clearly. Course consisted of a few Python assignments at the beginning, one group project throughout the semester and no tests - so not a lot of grades. But his project requirements do enforce you to learn ML concepts and he really pushes you to make it a career-like project.

Huge sets of slides from which a few equations can be taken from for quizzes that are currently worth only 1% of your grade that are "weekly quizzes" based upon lecture material. Recieved first grades pretty much at and after the first midterm. Hoping the ethic of him is improved as right now it is not impressive.
