Dr. Davis teaches the best kind of classone that is interesting and engaging without being stressful. For once, the projects are enjoyable! Because of taking this class, I've been able to become an active participant in conversations about machine learning and data analysis. Dr. Davis will answer any questions you have about the material. A+ prof!

Comment:

Dr. Davis's Introduction to Data Analytics class is applicable to the real world. I took this class before my internship. Thanks to his course, I was able to impress my managers with my knowledge of data analytics and simple yet comprehensive reporting. Also, his projects and lectures are engaging. Dr. Davis is a superb professor and mentor!

Dr. Davis is a great guy. His dad jokes are great and his course is pretty interesting. It was pretty rough being a night class, but I always fought to stay awake because the material was very important. His assignments aren't very hard and actually teach you how to use the FTK software. Definitely buy the manual.

Comment:

3 points about the AccessData FTK Training Manual: 1) It was written by the software manufacturer (AccessData) 2) It is required as part of the academic pricing of FTK (or RMU would have to pay $4,000 per FTK student license) 3) Students can purchase all books online (including the manual) and have the bookstore ship the books to a home address

Comment:

You need a college dregree to understand the training manual you are required use. Traing manual is very poorly written. Class is fully online, but the students are still required to go to campus to buy the training manual. I thought the benefit of an online class was so students who cannot make it to campus, you can see where I am going here.

Dr. Davis is a great professor. His class is kind of boring but he makes it interesting. The lab manual is kind of hard to understand but he goes through the labs in class so you can get the lab questions finished ahead of time. Tests are easy with minimal studying.

By far, Dr. Davis is the best professor I've had at RMU. He gives us all the work for the semester in advance, which is extremely helpful for students with full time jobs. He truly cares about his students and wants them to be successful. He keeps the class interesting and has a great sense of humor. Clear instructions and helpful feedback. AWESOME

Group projects are a requirement of ABET Accreditation (even in online classes). There is NOTHING that the CIS faculty can do about it. If you want an accredited degree, then you're going to have group projects. Period.

Comment:

Dr. Davis asked at the end of the course for us to rate him so here goes. For future students, drink an energy drink before class. His lectures are long and boring. He regurgitates the textbook. He assigns group projects but does not grade fair if you get put in a group where others do nothing. The group project is the most frustrating part.

The course is not a bad course, but be prepared to figure out things on your own. The prof stuggles with the XL Miner software. It is like he is just using it for the first time. He will keep you for the full time. He tries to answer questions, but my dad works in industry and some of the information does not meet industry standards.

You will learn from Davis, but not all of his lectures are very clear. Typical prof sytle, if you know what i mean. Information on tests were not completely covered in class. I had to get help from my uncle who actually works in data storage for a living. Definitely group projects. I am always the workhorse in the group so I never am a fan.

Dr. Davis provided a very engaging and well laid out course. The homework is on the light side but the classroom discussions make up for it. He is always ready to help and understands the difficulty of working adults attempting to get their degree. Definitely recommend the professor and the course.

Good course. Dr Davis is friendly and very open to helping students before during and after class. Understands the material and has a way of making even complex topics seem easy. Class is very organized and grading scale is clearly defined on the 1st day. Definitely recommend.
