I disagree with the negative review. I had no prior experience with machine learning and that didn't make the course difficult. Professor Nekipelov is a very kind professor who made the class very manageable. There are no exams, and he removed the final project and had just 5 problem sets so that the pacing would be fine for everyone who was struggling to understand the coding and math aspects. If you went to office hours if you were struggling, you would be just fine because the TAs were super helpful. Also, looking at lecture slides helped a lot with completing the homeworks as they sometimes contained the formulas that you needed. Overall, this class was not bad at all and provided a pretty good introduction to machine learning techniques. #tCFS24
