Jiaxu has placed as on of the top 5 competitors in prediction challenges. He has also achieved one of the top overall scores in the class with over 97% of points. In addition, he pretty much answered almost all the questions during lectures! great class participation, Jiaxu!
Here are few words from Jiaxu himself:
"Hi, I am an ordinary Junior Mathematics major student. I took Data 101 for SAS Core Curriculum Our Common Future(CC-O). And I expect it will be a tedious course. However, we have some interesting homework every week that imply us how we can utilize the skills we learned this week. I also learn a lot in recitation by following the example code of TA to rough review about function of codes. I like the prediction challenge for the last several weeks, and I suggest it will be better if everyone has about 3-4 chances to hand in the code. Also the online textbook is really convenient to use and provides a lot of examples for every chapter. Tomasz is very kind that helps me a lot in office hours. All in all, this course inspires and encourages me to study data science. I suggest all students who are interested in math or computer science should try it."
