Overall, I liked him. Not as much work as you would have taking Klinker, which I appreciated. Exams are pretty specific, so definitely watch his lectures and attend recitation. The two group projects weren't too difficult, just start them early. The five quizzes were all very easy and two attempts. He's a fine choice, just study well for exams!

I'm not really sure why this class is mandatory and very underlooked. The class needs restructuring, didnt learn a whole lot. If you take an analytics class, you would expect to have useful homework or practice problems that help you towards the exam/projects, which wasnt the case. This class is very difficult.

This class was so ridiculously disorganized. I was learning different things in pre-lecture, lecture, and recitations, and had no idea how to study for exams. There needs to be more communication between TAs and the professor and they should all have access to materials on Carmen. The content itself wasn't hard but the class was painfully confusing

Do not take this class of it is online. There is a lot more math than advertised and there is supposed to be a recitation. When the class is online, he neglects to have a recitation. Good luck teaching the math to yourself.

Content and structure of the class is somewhat disorganized, but he knows what hes talking about. Class content isnt too difficult. Tons of room for extra credit from tests; plus open note tests. A couple cases with groups which are easy.

His lectures are pretty solid, explains the math parts of the course well, plus he offers tons of extra credit opportunities. He also responds to emails pretty quickly.

You won't interact with this professor very much in an online setting. Used recorded lectures from a previous semester and assigned weekly reading assignments, sometimes multiple chapters. Open-note exams that are difficult but plenty of extra credit offered during the exam. Easy A if you don't fall behind on material.

I never interacted with him, but the online lectures are terrible. The quality is not good and is barely watchable. It is also not comprehensive so you will have to spend a lot of time reading the book. He didn't put much effort into the class. Only good part is lots of extra credit, but not a guaranteed A.

Professor Dickstein is an okay choice for analytics. To be honest his online prerecorded lectures were very hard to stay awake during. I am not a fan of courses that make their exams difficult so they can throw hundreds of curves at you. He seems like a really nice guy and is willing to help if you reach out. Easy cases, just study for exams!
