| Edward Summers INST326 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/06/2021 | Professor Summers is a truly kind person, and he wants his students to learn. This semester he had each second class of the week be a working session, so that he could show an example of how to do the lab, to give students who attended the online session a head start on how to complete it. |

It may not be indicative of a regular semester. | His online class has been great. Prof. Summers is very nice and approachable, and did his best to accommodate the online learning environment. The class is made up of one 10pt assignment due every Sunday, and he goes over the concepts and usually provides template code in lecture. You can even use his template code as long as you alter it in some way, provide comments, give it another function, etc. The projects were focused on data analysis mostly, and we used real Covid-19 vaccination and testing data from the MD dept. of Health in our projects. It was really cool to use data analysis on actual real data. Also, it's a very easy class if you've taken CMSC 131 previously (I did). The only new concepts are Python specific things such as Jupyter Notebook and the Pandas library. 10x easier than 131 projects, by far. |

It may not be indicative of a regular semester. | Really nice guy, not a tough grader. If you need help just ask and he'll show you. Came in with no computing experience at all and he made it a lot easier to understand. Midterms are open everything and homework is done in class on Fridays and it's optional to go. |
