Spring 2017 - Highly recommend Prof. Scalzo. Really nice guy, and he does a good job of explaining concepts. I believe this class is now a regular CS class and not a 188 anymore, but when I took it basically all you did was a quarter long project and a final exam. The final was just memorization of concepts covered in his slides, and for the project you could pretty much do anything with machine learning and medical data. So the workload was basically up to you: you could either just do a really simple project, or if you had a personal interest you could go for something more ambitious. Either way I think he tended to grade on the easier side, especially if he saw you were putting effort into it. Highly recommend this class if you want to learn about machine learning with medical imaging and do a practical project.
