Teaching at McGill University

I welcome graduate students from all faculties to take my data mining course (INFS 630), provided that you have some basic knowledge about databases. For example, I do expect you already know what records, attributes, and tables are before taking the course. In the data mining course, I will teach every topic starting from scratch.

Getting a reference letter from me?

  • Thank you for considering me to be your referee. I am happy to do so if you satisfy the minimum requirement and follow the procedure specified below. This will reduce my workload a bit. Thank you.

  • Please note that I am not allowed to prepare a reference letter for CSQ.

  • Procedure for McGill students (Please read carefully):

    Minimum requirement: For the graduate students who took my course(s) and received an average grade of A-, I can provide a reference letter; otherwise, I may not be a good candidate to comment on your performance.

    1. Send me an e-mail with your full name, student number, course(s) taken from me, semester(s) of the taken course(s), and grades received. Then wait for my reply.

    2. Prepare an envelope. On the envelope, write the recipient's name and full address where I should return the reference letter. No need to put a stamp on the envelope.

    3. Drop the envelope to my mailbox, or mail it to me.

    4. Please do not give me any gift.

      5.

  • Procedure for Concordia students (Please read carefully):

    Minimum requirement: For the graduate students who took my course(s) and received an average grade of A, I can provide a reference letter; otherwise, I may not be a good candidate to comment on your performance.

    1. Send me an e-mail with your full name, student number, course(s) taken from me, semester(s) of the taken course(s), and grades received. Then wait for my reply.

    2. Send both the evaluation form and a stamped (prepaid) envelope to my mailing address by regular mail:

      • Fill the evaluation form (such as this one), including your name, student ID, DoB, address, etc, if you are applying for admission or scholarships at Concordia. You also need to fill your name on the second page of the form. Please note that I provide the link to the evaluation form for your convenience, but you are responsible to find out whether or not this is the correct form. Then, clearly print the following information on the referee's section:

        • Name: Benjamin Fung

        • Title: Associate Professor

        • Department: School of Information Studies

        • Institution: McGill University

        • Address: 3661 Peel St., Montreal, QC, Canada H3A 1X1

        • Email: my email address

        • How long have we known each other?

        • Relationship: Course instructor or thesis supervisor

      • Prepare a stamped return envelope. On the envelope, write the recipient's name and full address  where I should return the evaluation form and reference letter. I will not send the form and letter to you. Instead, I will send the form and letter directly to the designated department or agency.

      • Please do not give me any gift.
