Overall, I would say I like what they are going for in this class. They try and do a mix of teaching you the theoretical aspects of data science, while also giving you practical data science projects in python. Professor was absolutely horrible, though. His lectures were really hard to pay attention to and he was not clear in what he was teaching at all. At the end of this class, I would say I obtained a light understanding of the data science/ML theory and a good understanding of how to actually create models and using data science libraries.

Do not take CS 148 with Majid. He is horrible at teaching this class and spends most of the lecture time talking about irrelevant bs. He also made a final that includes topics not covered in his lecture. When students called him out on that, he straight up deleted all the lecture recording on CCLE so students cannot prove he didn't cover those stuff. He also disabled chats during lectures and makes it mandatory for everyone to turn on the camera. Overall I get a manipulative vibe from him. I took his 180 2 years ago and he was great at that time. I don't know what happened to him.

The only good things about this class is that the projects are interesting and the TAs are helpful.
