Learned literally zero about data science (I did not want to, and just wanted an easy class), and still squeaked out with an A- because of my lab partners and midterm/final project partner. Extremely easy class (no exams). As far as actually learning data science, you have to be self motivated but it is possible to learn quite a bit if you follow the zybooks & her discussion sections.

Prof. Singh seems to have a lot of enthusiasm for teaching and seems to take interest in her classes. However, her explanation are very unclear and hard to follow. The assignments are boring and tedious. TAs for this class carry.

After taking her class you realize how good the other teachers are.

She is not necessarily a mean professor but this is one of the worst courses I have taken in my time at Washu. You are graded on very few assignments/exams, the slides are really bad, and the grading is odd. Our first exam had a high grade of 85/95 which i think is absurd for the difficulty of the content. The optional textbook is your friend.

She has a significant lack of depth in understanding the subject matter. The lectures are extremely poor, and she is oblivious to this fact at all; she seems to blame the low average grades on students not focusing on her useless lectures. The grading also lacks transparency and is tough. Just don't take her class whatsoever.

She is a terrible terrible terrible lecturer. The content and exams should not be difficult at all, but everyone does horribly due to the fact that she cannot teach. She gets visibly frustrated when students do not participate, but it is because nobody understands what she is saying. Don't bother asking questions, she will give you non-answers.

Don't take her course! She seems disrespect her students. After receiving a very bad mean and median scores in the mid term exam, She seems thought it was only because all students do not work hard and did no curving at all. She knows nothing about her terrible lecture slide and quality of her lecture.

Don't take her class; I have never seen any professor who disrespects her students like she does, and she knows nothing about what she is teaching.

Terrible professor. Just so bad. That being said, if you are diligent, grading curve is easy to succeed with and can be an easy class to get an A in. Some office hours will be required to get through some of the more tricky homeworks.

Her lectures are so convoluted that most of the time it seems as if she doesn't even know what she's teaching. I agree with the other rating here that says she probably could not complete her own course. I survived this class basically 100% on textbook readings and office hours.

Incredibly boring lectures and difficult homework. Does not explain concepts well. Read the zybook readings carefully if you want to know about the conceptual stuff. I scrolled down a few pages of my psych notes (cuz I have a psych exam right after) during the time she gave us to do the worksheet and she interrogated me like I was a thief.

Lectures were mediocre (mostly reading off the slides), and very disconnected from the Lab and Homework assignments, which make up the bulk of your grade. Python is required for this course, and having basic knowledge beforehand will make a massive difference. Luckily there are a lot of TAs to help with poorly-worded and confusing homework.

Singh seems like an overall nice person but her lectures are terrible. She took over the class recently so she just uses the old professor's slides and hardly knows what she's talking about. Her head TA does almost all of the work on piazza to help students. A lot of times questions are vague so it's easy to lose points on homework assignments.

She might not be the best explaner but she actually cares for the students to learn the material. She is one of the chillest profs and lenient grader.

What she did was basically reading out powerpoint from a previous professor and translate it in a much more confusing way. After taking cse217 I decided I will never do anything related to data science again in my entire life.

She yelled at me once for after asking clarifying question about her lecture. Don't even get me started about lectures either. She simply reads off slides that she barely knows herself. None of the material in this course is her own and is from a previous professor. The only way to get through this class is by spamming office hours.

Do not take. Material is so poorly taught by Singh you are forced to rely on OH. I think a past professor created 217 and Singh simply took it over and knows nothing about the material. Studios must be finished b/c there is a quiz that day on them. Can't miss studio more than once. WS, coding assignment, and studio quiz all due throughout the week.

Everything she said in class was so confusing and there were videos from a better teacher but she stopped uploading the videos few weeks ago. I was sick and cannot go to the lecture last week but there was no videos uploaded

Don't take her cse217. Grading is ambiguous. Lectures recording are heirloom from others. Labs are self-learning what lectures don't cover. Discussion sessions are lectures, but with barely any nutrition. Grading is also chaos. She don't know grading rubrics and make random promises and graders are harsh and students lose points. Avoid this.
