Fall 2023 - Overall, this is a good class. Liao offers lots of extra credit, group work, and his lectures are clear and helpful, although they are not recorded. That being said, I think he realized in the last week his class was on the easier side because he blindsided us with a final so difficult the average was a 63, and he did not curve it. My final dropped my grade 10% overall. If this were not the case, he would have stellar reviews from me.

Spring 2024 - If you want a professor who's excited about the material, this is not the one. It was difficult to sit through lectures which were not engaging. However, the notes on the jupyter notebook were decent. I also did not appreciate that there were frequently issues on the homework that would get fixed later on in the week. I did like the grading structure, it is very nice to not have to take midterms or finals. I do wish there was more guidance on the "final project", because the professor gave very confusing guidance on the assignment on bruinlearn and barely mentioned it during class lectures. I got far better advice from the TA than the professor when it came to the project.
