Reviews of professor Uri Smashnov

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Assignments (weekly, about 8-9 in all) & exams (3 in total) are tough, but you will learn immensely. He's a lenient grader, he'll curve your grades too. Classes are interesting, do not miss them. His projects (2 of them) are very difficult so begin early. Can easily get the highest grade in his class with a little effort. 10/10 would recommend.

Be prepared for 8 assignments, class assignments, 2 projects & 3 exams, all very hard, but you will be job ready for SQL, MobdoDB & ERD/Normalisation.

Im glad that I took his class. He teaches every concept in detail. Makes your schedule a bit hectic but will make you ready for job market. If you pay attention to his lectures, notes and assignment, you wont face any difficulty ever in the SQL.

Tough exams, tough assignments(lots of assignments, almost one every week), tough project... Be prepared to spend your entire weekend on big data. The only good thing - you will learn a lot(A lot!!!). If you are here to learn the concepts of big data and not run behind grades, would recommend his class
