The course schedule wasn't clear at all. Some topics were well handled though. Could have been a lot better.

Comment:
Data and Web Semantics was probably the worst course I took in my time at UIC, wholly because of this professor. She knows a lot of stuff and is brilliant, no doubt. However, she doesn't know how to teach that. Beware of this course. BEWARE!

CS-586 under Isabel Cruz is gonna be like a nightmare. It's one of those subjects which have no specific course. Assignments are tough like hell. You miss a class and you receive an email from the professor asking for the reason of your absence. The professor talks very nicely and she's sweet. But she gives a lot of work.

Comment:
This class simply should not exist. The topic is outdated and irrelevant. At best, its a subtopic in a machine learning or data mining course. The irrelevance of the topic is made worse by the instructors disinterest in teaching the course or mentoring students. Also, she outsources the teaching to her graduate students, who are poor lecturers.

Awful class and awful professor. I've never experienced such boring lectures. The professor knows nothing about the project but asks her RA to do all of the work. She also doesn't allow students to be absent from class but herself was once absent for a whole week!

Prof Cruz is really awesome. Her lectures can get boring at times. She has surprise quizzes to make you stay on top of the material. She is a good grader. I would definitely take another class with her.

Prof. Cruz is a really nice teacher. The material in class is not hard and there are no homeworks or project. You simply attend class and take quizzes. That's the only catch, "surprise quizzes". She will give quizzes on random days, so if miss a class you might miss a quiz. Quizzes are 60% of your grade so each quiz is about 5%. So ATTEND CLASS!

Comment:
First thing, really terrible textbook, very detailed like a bible. Her class is like a two hour marathon, it's very long and tiring. Even after all the students are totally tired from her lecturing, she keeps going until her time is up. I learned more by working the book and internet. There are only two midterms and no final, don't screw them up.
