"A more practical approach to ML topics than AML and MLE. Fills the requirements as well. Spring term only class, and was told the easiest among 3. Used to have canvas quiz occationally, and no Final test, rather a project. Not sure about future sessions tho, as she was trying to change syllabus to replace Final Project with a big percentage Final Test closed book. But we were able to talk our ways out of it."
