Reviews of professor Yufeng Liu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Probably one of the most useful classes in STOR department. A must-take if you want a job in data science or quant research, or if you want to go to a top grad school. Even after graduation, I still reviewed his lecture notes to prepare for job interview. Study hard folks. Things you learn in this class will pay back in the near future.

Best teacher in STOR Department

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Managed to do ok with a lot of self study. Often confusing in lecture, gets lost in formal/arcane mathematical notation without a lot of explanation. Reading the textbook was the only way for me to understand. Exam heavy.

Super nice guy and will put in extra effort to help you if you ask. Not an easy class but definitely fair.

Great lectures though a bit notation heavy at times. I enjoyed his lengthy but interesting homeworks but do think the level of difficulty on the exams was unnecessarily complex in comparison.

Professor Liu is very knowledgeable and caring. He asked for feedback twice in the semester and adjusted the lecture delivery/homework length based on our feedback. A respected scholar in his field and a patient and clear instructor. Highly recommend him if you want to learn topics in machine learning.

Best STOR prof I have had. Explains things very clearly. HW was a little tough, but glancing at the textbook and going to lectures make it doable. Very useful class.
