Reviews of professor Srikanth Aravamuthan

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The homework was often very long and took a lot of time for me to complete. The grading standard for the homework was also inconsistent. The group project sucks. Although attendance isn't technically mandatory, a lot of times he would say important things in lecture and not mention them elsewhere, so it could be in your best interest to go.

Sri seems nice but he talks too fast and the content is too fast for me. The group project is painful as well and the exams are hard.

Weekly HWs that on average take >10 hours to complete. Only 2 exams, but the first exam average was 60%. The group project does not have a rubric, so students don't know what all Sri expects and I honestly don't think he even knows when he's grading the projects. When it came to R he would say If you dont know how to do something, google it

Decent teaching skills, talks a bit fast. The R material may seem overwhelming but only a few functions/lines are tested on exams. It's not hard to get an A/AB, very easy to get a B. Average exam1 grade was an 85, HW/quizzes/project should be grade boosters if you put the time in. Final was the hardest but not too bad. Would recommend.

Sri is a nice guy but speaks way too fast. He gives you very little information to work with and expects you to give a lot back for a 3-credit course. The statistics portion is not difficult, but the whole course is basically teaching you the program language r, which is NOT easy if you've never coded or taken stats. Learn r before taking this.

Sri is a nice guy and easy to approach with questions. However, he talks way too fast in lectures. The Group Project SUCKS and the last part is due at the end of final week, which is not a good time. There's lots of homework and be ready to spend tons of time on this class with Sri. The statistical concepts are not hard in this class but R is.

Great professor. All criticism about the course is more related to syllabus or administrative parts rather than teaching style itself. Course will be easier with some minimal CS background.

HE IS RIDICULOUS. Meanest guy I ever met when it comes to grading. This is the first negative comment I ever make on RMP bcos he deserves that.
