Reviews of professor Camila de Souza

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is an amazing Professor! She made dry material somewhat interesting and you can tell she deeply cares about her students. Her lectures might not be the most fun or flashy but she's clear and does not test you on random topics. Would recommend getting to know her as she is an absolute role model

Very boring lectures. She will read directly off slides for 2 hours in a monotone voice. But she will post the slides online after anyway and you can realistically get all the necessary info in about 30 mins.

Reads directly off of the slides, the slides are directly copied from the textbook, speaks in an incredibly slow monotone voice making the lectures almost unbearable. By the first month more than half the class stopped going. The exams are awful, not because they are difficult, but because she won't stop talking throughout the entire exam. Easy 90+

She's all right. Sometimes she is hard to understand, and I ended up reading off the slides most of the time. You really don't need to go to the lectures if you read and understand the slides. NOTE: AVOID THIS CLASS IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE. The explanation of the code for the projects was not good.

The material is super dry but straightforward and the textbook is a big waste of money. The coding part of the assignments seemed really impractical and the final was WAY harder then the midterm. Also there was no formula sheet for the exam which just seemed like unnecessary stress since you can always google formulas in the real world.

The professor's exam was difficult

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
De Souza is a very nice person, but I did find she put minimal effort into the course. All the slides are copy and pasted from the textbook and she reads directly from them in lectures, I stopped attending them. The coding content was not taught well. To succeed in this course you have to put in the work - essentially teach yourself the content.

she isnt a terrible proffesor and is actually really nice. I didnt even go to the lectures half way through because all slides were posted and thats entirely what the lectures consisted of. Overall, the assignments were easy but if you didnt keep up with the work and lectures then exams may have been a bit more difficult for you.

I would die for Camila. She marks things so fast and has the best accent ever. Yeah the course kinda sucks but I would not go to class if it wasnt for her. She is the only prof if youre taking data sci 1000.

if you can avoid it, don't take this class. if you have to take it, skip every class and just do the prep 101
