Reviews of professor Risto Miikkulainen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
just finished the final. worst class ever. how are we expected to learn anything if we have no idea what you're talking about? and how are we supposed to learn if you never dive deep into a topic? use piazza then. oh wait, the TA and professor either take DAYS or NEVER respond. assignment is broken? ta will respond on the last day - true story

RIDICULOUS class. if rmp have negative scores I would rate negative infinity. he let us watch videos for course material and talk about nothing during lecture. what a waste of my tuition. the assignment have little instructions and the code sometimes is incorrect. he never hold office hour. the tests are stupid memorization style questions

I'll get straight to the point. Ridiculously memorization heavy. Assignments are broken and have unclear instructions. Exams test you on stuff that are neither in the slides or the lectures. An overall recipe for disaster. Avoid this class like the plague.

If you want to learn about AI, this is not the class for you. This class is a survey of AI - because of this, you will learn only the most basic info about everything. However, you won't learn enough to say that you really know something. Assignments take a long time to get back, and there's no feedback on tests that tell you what you did wrong.
