Reviews of professor Angela Beasley

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. understood the material really well and was skilled at lecturing in an engaging and understandable manner! Projects are long but you have a reasonable amount of time to do them. Definitely one of the best courses I have taken to date.

Very good intro course to ML. Beasley takes out a lot of the complex math behind concepts and makes them very understandable. Projects are easy, exams very doable if you study (just have to worry about time crunch a little bit). Social impact presentations are graded easily and provide some insight. Overall great class.

One of my favorite classes, very well organized and has a good coverage of ML topics. Lectures are interesting and Beasley teaches in a way that is intuitive and easy to follow. Exams are very doable - half content from lectures and half computation-based similar to the practice problems. Also, imo grading is very generous.

Interesting class. Roughly bi-weekly assignments covering what you learn in class but in a more applicable manner. The lectures are taught well and are easy to understand. The homework assignments are partner optional and are very doable.

Data Mining is not a blow-off class like some seem to say. Every week, there's always multiple things to do. Exams were pretty unforgiving and the time constraint is very tight. I would've gotten an A if I just had like 15 more mins on each. Also wish the instructions on the assignments and project were more clear. She does post lecture recordings.

Dr. Beasley is an amazing professor. Data Mining (now known as Intro to Machine Learning) is probably one of the most important classes to take if you are interested in Data Science, and professor Beasley did a great job teaching the course, with very easy to follow lectures and plenty real practical examples of what you can do with what you learn.

Easy, interesting and very organized class that's easy to follow. Boring lectures with no laptops allowed, but attendance required for student presentations. Assignments straightforward if following material. Great review sheets made exams very passable with a good cheat sheet. Final group project is easy. Pay attention and you'll do well.
