Machine Learning Honors
Machine Learning Honors is an elective class in the pathway, and is the only course of its kind offered in the area.
I really enjoyed collaborating with my peers on solving errors in the labs. I liked the fact that labs allowed me to practice the skills I learned in class, and allowed me to tackle new problems as well.
I didn't even know how to code before this but Mr. Dagler opened my eyes.
Machine Learning is a class I've been wanting to take ever since I was a freshman. My favorite aspect about the class is developing statistical models and algorithms to predict trends using data from previous years. Mr. Dagler is a really great mentor and teacher who guided me through the CS Pathway. Dagler has a huge emphasis on helping his students understand the difficult nature of computer science. Overall, I would definitely recommend taking this class!
I really enjoy this class. I like how there is a lot of time to learn and finish assignments. This is one of the few classes I feel like I learned something in. I had a great time.
- Gain an understanding of various ML models
- Use regression to model continuous data
- Predict discrete results using classification models
- Discover unknown patters with clustering models
- Additional topics include association rule learning, reinforcement learning, and natural language processing

As the head of the Computer Science pathway here at Franklin High, I hope to encourage my students to pursue a career in computer science. I started out teaching Math after graduating from the University of California, Davis, but slowly moved towards robotics and computer science, where I found engaged students learning more about mathematics. I've since worked as a CTE teacher with Franklin, finding any opportunities for my students to involve themselves with technology.
