Project is very long and difficult be careful

Each week there is homework, that consumes a lot of time and doesnt really help the final grade.Classes are just him reading slides and making jokes. The mid-term and the final are mainly theory, each with 1 exercise using the calculator (nonsense). Don't believe him when he recommends studying the assignments for the exams because that won't help.

Instructions are always so unclear. Homework is okay there's usually one assignment per week and one quiz per week. The semester project is killer, especially considering the lack of clear direction. Also you just get a grade for it and no feedback at all. He's impossible to contact. Doesn't respond and the TA is barely any better.

He will not explain deep in details with assignments. He just throws it at you and wont explain further. This is a hybrid so be prepared for all the workload but everything is for you to figure out without help.

He just presents slides in class that he will copy+paste from the book. He likes to talk about random things of Houston in class, and gives very little guidance on data science. Be prepared to learn almost all by yourself and hear constant comments about his personal life. He posts changes for the tests the day before or few hours before the tests.

(COVID-19 online class here.) Yes it's true that grading criteria in assignments is vague but that's because he's not very harsh on grading. As long as you fulfill the criteria that IS there, you will pass. He gives lectures that are helpful but you might also need to skim the book. He's very respectful of his student's time and circumstances.

Dr. Lendasse class covers Mysql and excel with 1-3 assignments due a week plus a quiz each week at the beganing of class. This class has no final but has a two part midterm and 3 part project. Project part 1 is easy. while parts 2 and 3 are very hard as they take a long time to due some tasks took me about 4-8 hrs to complete.

Don't take him! Seriously! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!! Reports people for academic dishonesty without even looking at the assignments himself just based of the computer grading!

Class is heavily based on the semester project. He barely covers SQL and mostly excel based. He does frequently state that he is the head of the department and all complaints go to him(even ones about him). There is a quiz every week for attendance and the class is a 45 minute drive from main campus.
