Reviews of professor Daniel Simpson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Content is fun, but the teaching is poor. Typos in slides, and he could've provided more visuals to convey the intuition of ML methods. I watched many YouTube videos to get the complete picture. Some homework were too easy, and lectures were light, resulting in some materials being rushed in the last week. Slow grader. Take CSC311 if you can.

Extremely disorganized and slow to response. There are lots of mistakes in problem sets, and he uploads grades at last minute. Never uploaded the last week's lecture slides and final exam practice problems as promised... Well he's a pretty funny guy and he made the lectures more fun and enjoyable. But youtube is still the best teacher...

Rarely ever got any homework maybe two times out of the whole semester. When he lectures it's the whole class period and within the class he gives the class a 5 minute break. He is willing to help however he can, he answers to emails in a good time frame. Easy A if you pay attention and get grades in quizzes and exams.

Taken during COVID season so all online, no exams, 100% hw mark Lectures are fun, but unfocused and lacking concrete examples, all concepts. Assignments are long and difficult, and very little help are given. Emails ignored (apparently email 'wasnt working' for half the sem). Basically, have fun learning everything yourself, including STAN!
