Reviews of professor Uri Smashnov

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Gives a lot of Assignments, which are quite difficult and time consuming. Have to make 2 lenghty Projects in a group of 2. Exams are quite difficult. Be Prepared to spend your weekends solving the lengthy Assingments. Generous Grader curves a lot! Always replies to any queries. Quite helpful to sharpen your SQL skills.

Do not take this professor. Unreasonable and unfeasible grade allocation. This professor has zero interest in teaching and in his subject. Hardest grading criteria I have ever seen in my life!

BUAN 6341(online) and BUAN 6320. If you want to learn this subject with hands-on practice, this is the right professor for you. Don't take this class if you are not comfortable with weekly assignments. Everyone can easily score an A. Answers all queries and doubts in class, teams, and emails. You will learn a lot and gain hands-on experience.

WOW!!! One of the best professors in JSOM. If you want to have a career in big data, he is the one you must take. Very caring for his students and a very clear grading criteria. Easy 'A' if you do the assignments and projects seriously. Always responds to the e-mails within few hours and always available in his office hours.

This class was the heaviest courseload I had in my MBA. The assignment dates aren't clearly defined in the syllabus. The first exam is insanely tough and, knowingly, not enough time is provided. Despite this, I highly recommend the class and don't be afraid to ask questions. I feel like I have a solid foundation for SQL and MongoDB now

Took his Big Data class. Difficult exams, too many and difficult assignments, really rude, not accommodating, knowledgeable but not a good teacher. Take his class only to screw your grades.

A knowledgeable professor. Maintains a level of course and assignments ,you would expect at master's level. Very considerate while grading. You would have to work hard in the course. Overall, a good learning experience if you want to study. Good assignments and good projects.

I am incredibly grateful to Professor Smashnov! Despite the challenging nature of his class, I feel confident in my Python and Machine Learning skills thanks to the invaluable knowledge I gained from his teaching.

He is the best professors for BIG DATA in JSOM. Though you have work lil bit, but its surely A or A+. His projects are worth doing, where you learn all Big data technologies Hive, Map reduce, HDFS, Spark. You will have to work on Linux which maximum companies use. He will guide you for everything and always be available to clear your doubts.

Extremely difficult coursework. 3 tests, 8-9 assignments, 10-12 class assignments after every class, 2 lengthy projects. I think this guy is out of his senses.
