Reviews of professor Eric Sary

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Super friendly professor with a pretty lax personality. The grading criteria are clearly laid out in the syllabus. Only 3 50-question exams, a short paper, participation, and what he considers a "professionalism" grade. Exams heavily revolve around the slides that are shown during class which are then downloadable after the class is over.

Would recommend! He's very friendly and laid back. Gives good personal examples and wants the class to do well. 3 exams and a paper are the only assignments. Attendance and participation are graded, so come to class! He tries to make the class interesting and explains the materials pretty well. Lectures almost always ended early. Overall good pick!

Easy exams are the only positive thing I have to say. Class is rarely over 30 minutes which is ridiculous considering you pay lots of money for these courses. One time or another is fine to cut it short but not every class, especially because he would just run through the lectures and you can't learn a single thing in class.

Great teacher for ML works hard for his students, and really cares about his job. He gave us ample opportunities for success and his response time is very good to emails or such. He was a first year teacher for my class but showed he knew what he was talking about. Take him for ML 250!

Great teacher, Only 3 exams and one short paper that are all easy. Attendance is not mandatory but he does grade it based on participation, so if you do miss make sure you participate in the classes you go to.
