Reviews of professor Tyler Harter

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Overall, Tyler is a nice professor that teaches a wide breadth of content in the best manner he can. As a consequence of him teaching so much content, he is unable very deeply go into the WHY we do certain things, but that's understandable. Exams are quite easy with a note sheet, and projects have no hidden tests. Learned a good deal in his class!

Tyler is a very nice individual, but perhaps not the brightest. This class is not that hard, if you already know the material beforehand. I was fortunate enough to have already taken similar courses to CS320 and have ample experience with Python, however, for those who are less fortunate this class will be miserable. Avoid if you can.

Tyler is probably the best prof that I ever meet in college. Some people says this course's content is not useful, and which is ridiculous. This guy is probably kind of person who knows nothing about DS. I had a Data Analyzing intern in Microsoft, and what Tyler teaches in class are super useful.

Tyler is good person, but this course is a mess (mixture of some database, deep learning, and OS so far). Instruction are vague for projects and gradings, especially participation (perhaps he want encourage us to attend lec). So far, most things learned in a "black-box" style, and I feel regret being tempted by fancy stuff listed in course intro.

I really enjoyed this course! It gave a great introduction to data-intensive applications and systems used in industry. I would even argue this was my most useful class in college. Projects could sometimes be difficult, but Tyler and the TAs were always responsive and available to help! Great prof.

Very good lectures, makes it easy to understand for someone who has not taken a DS course. Hard topics but lectures, projects, and slides make it make sense. Best prof !!

Great class. Tyler is the best. Does live coding examples during lecture. Project heavy class ( 7). If you're struggling with the material, there is always a TA/professor available for office hours. Wants to make sure you're understanding the material. Super approachable.

Tyler is a great teacher. He does a good job of explaining and deconstructing the libraries he uses which helps you understand whats going on. The projects are a challenge, but a very doable challenge.

Tyler is a really great professor. He cares a lot about his students and is always patient with explaining concepts. His lectures are interesting and directly applicable to the assignments. He designed the entire class (CS 544) from scratch because he saw a need for it in the industry, which I think is so cool. Exams were short.
