Highly recommend Prof. Scalzo. Really nice guy, and he does a good job of explaining concepts. I believe this class is now a regular CS class and not a 188 anymore, but when I took it basically all you did was a quarter long project and a final exam. The final was just memorization of concepts covered in his slides, and for the project you could pretty much do anything with machine learning and medical data. So the workload was basically up to you: you could either just do a really simple project, or if you had a personal interest you could go for something more ambitious. Either way I think he tended to grade on the easier side, especially if he saw you were putting effort into it. Highly recommend this class if you want to learn about machine learning with medical imaging and do a practical project.

Professor Scalzo is a mensch

Prof. Scalzo is easily one of the best cs professors I've ever had here at UCLA. He did a really good job explaining hard concepts. And generally, Prof. Scalzo is a very nice guy. Patient and very helpful.

This is for computer vision which is quite different from the medical devices class. It was the first time being taught so at times was heavily disorganized and the other professors and TAs could be unhelpful. Not really sure what was going on in class. The pacing seemed off too. Midterm was easy, final was hard. At the end of it, I'm still not sure what I learned. Scalzo is pretty nice though, the class was just poorly run.
