10/13/2022		Prem is a good professor and you can and will learn a lot in his class if you're willing to put in work, especially on the big group projects. I've learned a great deal from class, Prem is very helpful and offers a lot of office hour time/zoom time that I took advantage of to ask him questions. He might not be as stringent on grading as some professors, which is what I presume other reviewers are referring to, leading to some to take advantage of that.

He just talks about Tesla stocks the whole time, and randomly says anything, often false statements. I know many who complained to the DATA/MSML head department about this professor.

05/21/2021 This review was submitted while most classes were online during the COVID-19 pandemic. It may not be indicative of a regular semester.		Prems a nice guy. But he is not a serious professor. He likes chatting in class about current topics. Once he begins a topic from the slide, he has a tendency to go in tangents about unrelated concepts. He is a generour grader, but I highly doubt you ll learn anything worthwhile.

12/11/2018		Took him for CMSC320. Went to lecture even though almost everybody else didn't. He would go over about 6 slides in an hour and 15 mins. He just was bad in all respects. He was a nice guy, probably a good coder, just not a good professor.
