The professor has professional knowledge and she is very kind and patient to us. Very good teacher. As a bridge course, she explained very clearly and practiced many examples in JupyterLab step by step to help me as a beginner. She shared the class slides and made all code files downloadable for us to practice. I gained a lot from her.

SHE IS THE BEST. So nice, genuinely cares. She is so lenient with grading and made a difficult subject way easier to understand. Go to class, understand what she teaches, and you will be fine. Truly a great teacher and wants everyone to do well. Take her if you can!!!

Professor is very patient with every student in the study process and always encouraging us.

This professor is very careful to student, and the workload is not very high. Through this course, i really learn sth useful.

I learned a lot form this course. There's not a lot of homework, and If you listen carefully, you can write down your answers.

I learned a lot about machine learning and data analytics from this class. Professor gives the slide and files we can practice by ourselves. The homework is also useful and also not o overloading

I am really glad to take this professor's class at my first semester, she is great, and care for her students

Professor Liu is a really nice lady who would listen to what you are currently confusing and give you feedback. If you did well on her examples and her teaching contents in class, you will definitely be fine about your assignment and exams.

During this class, I learned a lot about data analytic models and visualization methods. It's a great start to learn data analytic and use Python to realize the work. All the examples are helpful for me to review the class and prepare for the quiz.

Very nice professor! I'm really enjoy her lectures and learned a lot! She's very patient to students.

The course is perfect for students who'd like to start working on Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Especially for students who attempt to seek a job in Data area. Professor Liu is super kind and knowledgeable.

I am not so familiar to the course contents . But Prof is very patient to me. She gives me good tutorial and finally I did well in final project.

This course is very useful. Recommend it! Professor is knowledgeable, she explain everything in details. She's very patient to each student. She helped me a lot during the final project.

Python is used but not concentrated. Overall course content is ok. Ta and professor is helpfuf.

Prof Liu is a very nice teacher. She gives this lecture based on the knowledge and background of students. She is very concerned about whether students learn knowledge in class. Her teaching method truly helps students to have a better understanding of the course. I'd like to have another course from Prof Liu in my future study.

The class follows the syllabus well. The professor is very reachable outside of class. She gives class material and lecture recording right after class. The class material is organized and clear. Professor reduced class difficulty after hearing feedbacks from students.

The teacher is very serious and responsible. You can always turn to him for help when you have a problem, including any problem. The teacher's exam is also very reasonable, not very difficult, the premise is to listen carefully, all the content from the class. When there is a problem with the program, I will turn to the teacher for help at the firs

This is the first time I rate a professor here just because I saw someone gave the lowest rate by telling lies. If he really studied hard, he won't say the exams are made-up. They're all from real-world interview questions! This class is the most useful class to me. You can definitely learn so much knowledge here! I really appreciate it!

I really learned a lot from this course and was very lucky to meet the teacher of this course. The exam content is also consistent with the class, and the project content is easier to accept.

Very understanding Professor. Taught python from basics

Professor Liu is a very kind professor. Her CSYE7105 course is a very practical class which you can learn a lot of parallel knowledge. It is a very useful course. The lectures given by professor Liu are very precise and clear.

The slides are self-explanatory to study and only have two quizzes during the semester. The workload is easy to handle.

The course is helpful in learning how parallelization works. It taught me Linux basics as well as access to the University cluster gave me an opportunity to experiment further. the quizzes of this course are on the material provided and concepts taught by the professor. We attended NVIDIA conference for extra credit and submitted reports.

Professor is very knowledgeable and professional. At the same time, professor Liu is very patient with student, and always encourage students. In this class, I used the NEU's discovery and got very practical parallel technology.

Good course

Prof Liu is very approachable and clears everyone's doubts with patience. Her course structure is clearly set up and I learnt a lot from this class. Would definitely suggest it for other students :)

Learned a lot in this subject like working with Linux, Slurm, multiprocessing, Scikit-learn and Python Dask etc. on multiple CPUs. Also, PyTorch implementation on multiple GPUs. Professor was very helpful and responds quickly.

Actually, Dr. Handan Liu is the best professor I have met. She is very kind and patient. Although in this course we have a lot of quzi and exams. But I learned a lot from that. I probably take her other course again. In the end, I want to say thank you to professor Handan Liu.

I took INFO 6105 Data Science Engineering Methods course in my Fall 22 semester under Professor Handan Liu. She is the best in all aspects. She gives clear and concise instructions about quiz, assignments, syllabus and grading. She is sweet and always stays for us after class to clear our doubts. She has all her notes and lessons ready before class
