He did a very good job in this course. He solves questions step by step very carefully. As long as go to the class (or just watch the recordings cuz attendace is not mandatory), you will easily ace this class.

He goes through everything SO slowly. I had to watch all the lectures on 2x speed. We learned 4 things the entire semester. Because of how easy he makes the class, everybody's grade was determined by the final. Just don't be like me and slack off on the entire second half of the class and learn it all 2 days before the final...

Posted all lectures and the answers to the homework, which made the class super easy throughout the semester, but also means that your grade will heavily depend on your exam and quiz grades. Not a super difficult class, just make sure you know the material before the exams, because you aren't given a lot of time to complete the problems.

Confused by the bad ratings cuz Robertas was a good prof. The classes were very slow paced but I recommend going in person so you dont have to do the quizzes yourself on your tiny laptop screen vs the big desktops in JFF. Study in advance for the final because most grade is based on that and is cumulative. but relatively easy A

Super chill guy, always answers student emails about questions. No mandatory attendance, you can access all the notes and videos online. Exams are exactly what you practice. No complaints at all. 425 is just generally boring, but he is definitely a great and incredibly fair professor who wants everyone to succeed.

Professor Gabrys is easily one of the best professors I've had at USC. He is able to teach analytics in a style that covers the technical skills, while also delivering it in a way that students can easily digest the material. This is such a special teaching skill that many professor don't have. Ignore bad reviews. He's a stellar professor.

Prof Gabrys is a great teacher! Can watch lectures in-person, on zoom, or recorded, but do need to keep up to do well. Slides to introduce each topic then all practical application, weekly in-class+homework assignments. Goes through everything step by step, receptive to questions, exams like practices. I learned a lot. Final determines grade.
