Thoughtful, new professor

Detailed feedback on essays. Some lectures run long but the material is fascinating.

Talks about algorithms like they affect real people (they do)

He worked in city government before academia and brings stories about benefit-eligibility systems that you won't forget. Assignments mix code and short essays.
