Reviews of professor Michael McCarthy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. McCarthy provides great feedback. The lessons taught in DSC 501 and DSC 680 allow for continued growth, especially "soft skills" in a workplace environment. Dr. McCarthy provides an exceptional plan from the beginning of the Data Science program that will carry through to all facets of your academic and personal career. Highly Recommended!

Very nice guy. But it's not worth spending time learning about things he taught.

His tests and quizzes are difficult and the lectures do not help you at all!!!

Professor McCarthy was great. I had him for the first and last class of my masters program. He gets excited about the work that we do, especially with our capstone. He has a passion for what he does, and he is always giving great feedback because he wants you to succeed. 10/10 recommend.

If taken online, you wont have any lectures and will have to teach yourself everything from a website called Knewton Atla. I hated it so much and you have to stay on top of your work in order to pass. The exams are super hard but you should pass if youre able to do the reviews from K.A. He gives you more time if you need it. Good luck!!!

Dr. McCarthy fosters a supportive and respectful learning environment. Under his guidance, I felt valued and supported like a respected colleague. However, it's worth noting that the course material was the most rigorous academic work I've encountered, requiring substantial effort and dedication to navigate successfully. Difficult but worth it.
