QiGui iWeng is the winner of this 2024 Spring semester Quinlan prediction cup. Thus, he has won the Quinlan award and gold medal. In addition, QiGui is also one of the top 10 overall scorers in the data 101 class.
Here is QiGui in his own words:
Hi everyone! I’m QiGui Weng and I am a sophomore majoring in computer science and possibly minoring in Data Science. I came to this class expecting it to be difficult and tedious after hearing lots of rantings from previous students who had taken this class. However, I found the class to be really enjoyable as Professor Imielinski kept the class entertained with his humor. His clear explanation and the textbook that he created made it easier to understand statistical topics that are taught in his class. While the course covered the fundamentals of R code and analytical thinking, I believe it is best for one to learn by challenging themself, applying what they learn and use it in the prediction challenges. Thank you to Professor Imielinski for instructing the course and hope the best to everyone who’s taking it!
