Reviews of professor Kamalika Chaudhuri

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is overall a nice person but her class needs a major re-structure. Her lectures are vague and have no relations to her homework. The quizzes and exams test knowledge nowhere to be found in lecture or the homework, that means if you miss a tiny detail in lecture or you did not dig in by yourself, you will likely to fail her quizzes.

This has been the most inefficient lectures I've seen at UCSD. The professor wrote everything from scratch in plain math during the live lecture which was very time-consuming. I'd rather prefer slides that have math derivations pre-written on them.

Mediocre teaching. Many quizzes have no relation to the topics taken in class.

7 quizzes, 5 hws, and a final. Exams are fair and straightforward. Hws are easy if you start them early. Drop one quiz and hw. Lectures go into mechanics of supervised learning algorithms. She also covers related linear algebra and statistical concepts of the algorithms but doesnt go super deep. Very friendly to students questions.
