One of the best classes in Coursera.I heard about style but I never really knew what it meant. I am glad to have taken this course. I learnt a lot and I am very excited to apply these in my writing. Not ideas but in things was most challenging but it was worth the try. Thank you very much for sharing.

The course is a Life - Changer ! Andrew Ng is the best professor I have ever had. He is the reason I have decided to pursue my masters in machine learning. He breaks a complex concept down into chunks which are simpler to understand and thereby explaining that concept. I feel like I can apply this knowledge to any domain, be it robotics, finance, biology, etc. Do go for this course, because itll change your life. It has changed mine.

Very good course. Loved Daniels teaching. I have a request to make coming from healthcare/ lifesciences background and a starter to analytics it would be very very helpful if Daniel can include basic/ elementary videos on probability and statistics/ Bio-Statistics in this course to enable us to go deeper.Else a separate course on BioStatistics and probability would be WOW. Looking forward for more courses from Daniel.Thanks,Swetha

The best online course Ive taken so far. This is not an exaggeration. Throughout the course, I truly felt the importance of the material taught and their applicability in my daily life. Ive started using the Pomodoro technique (with the help of an app) when tackling projects at work or want to be productive at home (taking an online course, learning some new skills). I also owe it to this class, and this might be a side effect rather than a direct impact, for bringing my brain to a more relaxed mental state. In other words, the topics about focused/diffuse mode and the discussion of thinking patterns provided a much more clear path not only for approaching tasks, but also escaping from that constant loop that eventually leads to a headache. Without going into more details, this is a wonderful class for anyone, anywhere accessible to take. Happy learning!

I have a theoretical background in relational algebra and SQL. This course did a great job of actually applying that theory in practice in the form of business situations. By using real life data, it also accurately presented raw data as not perfectly organized or clean. Filtering with subqueries, IN, WHERE, and OUTER JOIN statements are absolutely crucial in cleaning data in real life situations; this course did an excellent job of demonstrating that importance.I have 2 interrelated critiques however: The usage of 2 different platforms (MySQL for the exercises and Teradata for the quizzes) was very confusing given their distinct syntaxes. I think it would have been more powerful to have the exercises and quizzes on the same platform. Furthermore, the Teradata platform was oftentimes overwhelmed by the number of users and frequently crashed. Going forward I would recommend either ensuring that the servers can handle the amount of user-load, or switching over to the MySQL platform entirely.

Perhaps its just that Im not a part of the target audience of this course, but I am deeply dissatisfied with it. Aside from a couple of rare interviews and old video records [which admittedly were very interesting, though too few], I found nothing of value that cannot be learned by reading Wikipedia or other easily accessible sources. The course is pretty light on technical details and there could [and perhaps should] have been much more beyond-the-scenes content, as well as references to specific documents and events in order to justify this courses existence.In other words, if you are a techie and are indeed interested in this topic, chances are that you already know most of the material taught.

The course provides a number of very useful tips for researchers, especially those whose first language is not English. There are a number of useful guides for new researchers to learn how to structure, phrase, and approach academic writing. However, there are also a few shortcomings of the course. Some of the material is overly subjective (giving rules for academic writing that are not necessarily applicable). Many of the assessment questions ask about issues which are either overly specific or simply incorrect (this is a very small percentage, but it is noticeable). The pace of the videos is also slow and oddly punctuated to the point that it can be difficult to follow at times. Finally, the course relies too heavily on academic writing for the hard sciences, rather than taking a broader approach, so some students may wish to keep this in mind when watching, as some advice may not be applicable to their own discipline.Overall, a recommended course for ESL academics, but could do with some improvement.

Thank you for sharing such an impressive training course!Thank you so much to Prof. Andrew Ng, our kind mentor Tom and everybody of you who also contributed to make this a great learning experience.This is one of the best trainings Ive done in my life and I really appreciate how Andrew is able to explain easy and friendly what in fact are very complex problems. Hes not only intellectually gifted, but also an outstanding and generous person for sharing his knowledge in such an open way. No ego issues by Prof. Andrew!Thanks again for everything

Good Angular exercises. But I think that testing should get its own segment. Becomes a bit lengthy with 30 min videos and only scraping the surface on the subject.

The instructors are great and the material logically detailed. The only problem is feed back or lack thereof. The assignments are hard for a person who has minimal computer skills as described in the outline, so having someone to go to for questions, especially the programming parts are essential and this is lacking unfortunately. Apparently, and I dont want to put words in someone elses mouth, but the assumption is that the fellow students will have the missing information and that they will actually answer them. That is not the case unfortunately. So even though I emailed the instructors with no response, I managed to obtain some information from other student who were extremely dedicated and much more advanced. I may have entered the course at a minimal personnel time which may account for my perceived difficulty. However, from some of the griping, I am not alone. On the other one gets what they pay for and I was overall glad to take the course and respect all the aspects except for the one already mentioned.

This course and material does not articulate the Google Cloud Platform offerings. Maybe Google does not want to compete with Microsoft Azure and AWS alike. If Google itself has approved this Google Cloud Platform trainings on Coursera then vola I am out. I am way better off supporting AWS and Azure (at least they have tons of good trainings and stuff to keep folks in the field excited).

Well paced, mentors are active in the forums. You have a chance to mingle with everyone and share ideas. The course itself covers pretty much everything from beginning HTML up to Image Filtering and Steganography. I would recommend to anyone interested in learning how how the internet works or anyone with an interest in programming.

I feel robbed. I did not get any feedback on my work. Only a classmate gave their ok yes, there is something written.I did not follow the course to get a certificate but to learn and to revceive feedback. If you dont have a special purpose for the certificate - dont pay a cent for this.

Unique and useful course. However some of the material needs adjustment, search strategy related material especially. It is introduced too late in the course, when homework needed it is all done with, and in my opinion there isnt enough pedagogic content on the subject. MiniZinc docs are quite minimal, so supporting material would be helpful.

Thanks you, thank you and thank you! Completing this course has been an amazingly enriching experience for me. It is not only about learning additional tool and technology but also a life changing event in my case as it gives me a new hope to think of machine learning as a very promising career option. Prof Ng has been so very kind to share his knowledge through this course. The course has been very well developed. The hands on assignments especially are so well structured that I felt as if a physical trainer is holding my hand and taking me through solving some of the difficult examples. This course is an example of how an online course should be. I am glad I came across this course. I thank Prof Ng and his team behind this course and wish them good luck.

Redundant, poor explanations and a complete lack of examples about the general concepts and the foundations of this discipline. The interaction between the teacher and the slides is limited to a reading exercise that does not provide any add value at all. Very dissapointed and still wondering if this course is worth my attention -and extremely limited time- or not. Plenty of room for improvement.

This is by far the best course for people to get knowledge of machine learning in practice, especially for people who are working full day and are not actual students.What I really missed here, is some other topics:1. Bayessian networks.2. Markovian decision processes and Markovian hidden models.3. Deep learning, of course.I guess you cannot really cover all that in one course, but I would gladly see the sequels for this course describing those topics.

This is my 1st course taken. I´m from Panamá (507) so my native language is Español, and this course was very easy to understand. And Professor Doug E. Fresh, knows how to explain the different terms very well. This was my Sunday nights favorite activity, I increase my avatar knowledges. I RECOMMEND THIS COURSE INSTEAD OF THE NETFLIX TIMEWASTING ACTIVITY. Did you know that Netflix is a Disruptive Technology. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEYOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! (I can´t give the 5 stars because there are some video miscordination in Module 5)

I think it is a decent course to understand how the peer review process work. However, it does not really help to write a paper. I think some ideas are not applied to every field. In particular, telling students to look for the board of editors in a journal and adapt your results and how you express things accordingly, it is in my opinion a bit unethical. Moreover, I was expecting that the course will be taught by a professor, but instead, it is done by a group of PhDs, some of them in their first year of research. If they intend to target a PhD audience, this is clearly a drawback as some of them might know the same as you do. Finally, as some people already pointed out, the quality of the English of some of the instructor is not good. In particular, there are a couple of them that you cant barely understand. It would have been more useful if the full course is taught by the 2 of them that can actually speak good.

gets way too in-depth with the math behind regression, to the point that it deters from the learning process. was hoping to learn better methods of interpreting or enacting regression, not the inner workings of the algorithms.assignments got overly complex with confusing instructions. there are definitely some leaps made in the assumptions of what students python capabilities are. vague instructions caused more frustration than desire to continue learning.will continue in the specialization, but will not hesitate to drop out if instruction continues like this.very disappointed.

This course is doable if you have prior knowledge of probability and statistics. This is not for beginners and should therefore by reclassified as intermediate and above. I am sorry I enrolled in this course. I have truly hit a brick wall and can go no further...

The best part of this course was, of course, the videos. But it just scratched the surface. I would have been happy to have a whole unit on Eudora Welty or B B King or the Chitlen Circuit. Each and every one of the films was priceless. But the course didnt fully exploit the possibilities of the web and I felt it was very static.

Absolutely game changing stuff! I always was curious about figuring out a set of principles that will make my learning more efficient. I used to avidly read the Learning on Steroids material by Scott Young. Although I had known much of the stuff taught on this course, I never had the right structure to put all this in perspective. The much-needed structure is what this course gave me. Im currently a broke entrepreneur. But, when the time comes, I want to buy this course as a token of thanks. Thank you, Coursera!

The breadth of the content was good, but the depth, particularly with the recurrent networks from later weeks, was a bit lacking.There were a few quiz problems I spent a while on, only to check the discussion section and realize that the information/image provided was inaccurate.The coding assignments could be slightly more frequent.Overall, this was a good course. It seems like it would be difficult to give a thorough treatment of this topic by simply watching these lectures and taking the quizzes/programming assignments. I think this course is best used for introductions to various topics/authors, which can then be used as a stepping stone for more intricate, individual study on those topics.

Very good course, with clear explanations of the key concepts. However, I felt hindered in being able to complete all tasks in the homeworks each week as many questions alienate someone like me with little mathematics/physics background. I feel if the questions were more general I would have been able to perform better each week. Very good lecture content though.

Good introduction to the galaxy tool. However, the final project was too difficult for what was given in the lectures. I spent 97% of the time I spent on the course doing only the final project. It was too difficult and unfair. I think a way to improve the final project might be to make easier a little bit and give exclusive lectures to help students to do the final project.

Relevant and well organized material when looking at it, but in total it is way too thin. More tips and tricks about Xcode as a tool would have been nice. Some of the videos are pretty unrehearsed. One of the lecturers hesitates and stutters a lot.As for the final assignment. Being reviewed by only three persons is too few. One of my reviewers had problems with his Xcode environment and couldnt run my submission. Guess how he graded me. The other reviewers had no problems, luckily.There is almost no help to be found in the discussion forums, which seems pretty buggy. There are no TAs and the staff doesnt seem to be very active either.Im sure the course will improve in the future. Its at the time of writing the only Swift/Xcode/iOS MOOC on Coursera.

Fascinating course. Ive been studying scala with book and internet before I found this course. During that time I felt something not enough to get into scala programming. Because I cant really feel what is functional programming is. Now, after finish it, I think I can say what it is. Its broad my sight in programming world.It was very helpful course. Thank you!

I have taken this course before. If I remember rightly it was a longer course (11 weeks?) and the pacing felt good. It seems it has been compressed into a 9-week course, with some weeks having quite a heavy workload demand and the whole course feeling slightly crammed and rushed.I realise that perhaps the longer the course, the higher the dropout rate, but I think people who made it to 7-8 weeks of the old course would continue it to completion, while for this course I found myself scrambling for time almost weekly -- I wonder if in fact the dropout rate wouldnt be higher at this kind of pace.Content-wise the course was excellent -- stimulating, clear, engagingly presented.

Good information overall, but the peer graded assignment at the end is poorly designed and seems unnecessarily arbitrary. Not a clear value add over a final exam format to justify waiting days for someone to grade your work. Instructions for this assignment are poorly written and unclear - for example, completely NOT clear you are asking us to identify a primary key versus stating there is no primary key, etc.

Probably one of the best courses on this whole website. The prof and accompanying textbook and website are clear and fairly concise. The assignments are challenging but fair and the autograder works really well so you get instant feedback.Probably the only con is having to setup up Java on your computer which can be a pain,

Really interesting course and material and a very good instructor. This would be a 5 stars course if it wasnt for the final project. During lessons some concepts of statistics were taken as known (which is okay). However the final project required to utilize a combination of all new learned material on a whole different level of difficulty compared to the preceding quizzes. I did not expect that jump in difficulty and enjoyed the course a lot but the final project just was a struggle.

It was a great experience studying this course from such a great profession. This course certainly increased my knowledge about financial market which will help me in my future educations. But the only thing to go for this course is that you must know about financial market in advance this course will just help to sharp you education not completely make your basics clear.

It covers theoretical part of What big data is and basic info about Hadoop. Quality of presentation slides is below average. Most of them are not readable - many fonts, many colors, some with complicated pictures, some with no information at all. Part with Map reduce is just slightly touched, not explained in details, without examples. Practical tasks from hadoop are very easy and they show nothing (just how to navigate over hadoop file system.

Great course! Excellent materials and presentations. Although in some videos I turned the volume all the way up but I could barely hear anything... please check. I learned a lot from this course, more than I expected! And I can take what I learned and start applying it directly to my current project. Thank you!

The Course material is great and is useful to refresh the concepts underlying dynamics of 3D motion in a short span of time. The course is very well structured and enjoyed thoroughly listening to the lectures by Dr. Whiteman. I have just one complaint though, model answers to the question in quiz are not available. So, it is difficult to compare the approach taken and validate the understanding.

I definitely loved this course. It is the most informative course I have ever attended. Great ideas, hard work, difficult assignments;) .. everything was taken so serious and to be honest I sometimes felt bein nervous of not being able to pass it so easily.I love the way both lecturers provide the informative lectures. It has greatly influenced my daily practice whhile working with children at risk of Dyslexia.Wish you the bests.

The course has been perfectly balanced in terms of difficulty! I have learned a lot in a short time and have been left with a lot of ideas on how to continue forward with game programming. This course has helped me a lot with doing the hardest, namely to start from scratch in a completely new knowledge domain for me. I want to use this opportunity to thank Dr. Tim Chamillard and the whole team that has made this course possible! You have added great value to my life!

Amazing. So much useful information, so well structures and presented and also keeping a young and happy spirit throughout the materials.

I liked this course very much:The lectures follow up in a logical, natural way and the topics are very well explained.Personally, I had more problems with the quizzes (5 questions each) than with the programming assignments. The examples were interesting and the instructions so clear and detailed that I found it rather easy to do the programming.Another point that is worth to mention: The instructor, Andrew Ng, has not only an agreeable voice and speaks an easy-to-understand english (important for me as a non-english speaker) - He transports in addition his own passion for the subject and gives a lot of applicable advices.

This course and the others of the specialization made me thinking of nothing else than photographing in the past months/weeks. I am learning so much from here and it makes me eager to know much more and to investigate on different sites for further details and lessons. Thanks to all of you at MSU who have helped in setting up this lessons!

I really had a hard time understanding Dynamic Programming. I recoomend to remove this topic and focus more on solidifying foundations so that students can be more prepared for moving through the whole Algorithm Courses. I never heard of this topic before and the lecturer ommited many steps when explaining the Edit Distance. I was forced to look for other resources like Open Courseware Algorithms course, and this is how could understand what was dynamic programming easily. Hope this helps!

This course is really informative for anyone with a developed or budding interest in politics..to understand the basic political ideologies. Concepts like Rawls Moral arbitrariness..the Eichmann problem..platos problem with democracy...how the wisdom of the crowd shows that deliberation isnt always a good thing...and many many more-thats going to stay with me and be a part of my moral-introspection...I think if the Kantian philosophy is updated a bit more, itll be helpful..I have some idea now about Socialism but I cant say Ill be able to successfully argue with some pro-communist guy. There wasnt much discussion in the forum-thats sad..it discouraged me from asking some questions I had. These two were the only downsides to the course.The bottomline is that I feel that taking a course like this is very important for us, when politics is an inseparable part of our lives. It will help in making atleast some sense of whats going on in the world politics-the Brexit, the Trump-success, etc.

Sorry but although I found the topic of interest I found the delivery very dull. Yes, Prof Covach knows his stuff but basically what we got here was little more than a reading of text from his book. I know he explained why the actual music was not included but think he could have done more to provide links and stimulate listening. I eventually just started reading the transcribed text of the lectures as I did not find looking at Prof Covachs talking head at all stimulating. Prof Covach did nothing to stimulate discussion in the forums and although I posted a few things there was very little going on in the forums. I bought the book on the basis of being interested in the topic but it is not at all necessary for the course.

This course is very intresting experiance. Every lecture video connects with quiz and programming excersises very tight. For better and more deep understanding of this course Im used different books about artificial intellegence and themes in that books were structured like this course. The course makes me more familliar with scientific calculation.

I have absolutely no idea how could this become a separate course - and one spread over 4 weeks. It is extremely basic, extremely general and extremely high level. It should be compressed to 1-2 hours and added as an _optional prerequisite_ to other courses in this specialization. I personally feel cheated out of my 29 USD.0.1 star.

Not what I was expecting as part of the program at all. Being more a visual learner I had a very hard time with how the math was covered in this in the course, I need a slide that is specifically V is XXXX, R is XXXX so I have a reference point and I found with most examples given I was having to go back and forth between multiple items and transcripts to gt what I needed. The other thing that I think would have helped me would have been less presenting and maybe a couple of quizzes for knowledge checks vs the pause and think items that were included. I did like Scotts humor, or at least humor attempts overall and I think a live class with him would be better than video. Additionally I felt that the course was a bit out date already, it was recorded in 2015 and I think I would have liked it more if had only been a year behind vs. a year and a half.

This type of course structure may work at an undergrad level, but for continuing education it is sub-par.The video lectures were the instructor reading the slides, reading from the course reading, or showing videos that were listed in the course reading. The course quizzes had too many questions that focused on memorizing details from the case studies or a statistic shown for a bit in the lectures rather than try to foster understanding of the material.There were some technical issues such as links from the course readings expiring and not being replaced, in-lecture questions dealing with a subject matter different from the topic of the lecture, etc.The one good thing from this course - it uses a great textbook (free), which provides lots and lots of useful data and insights into digital marketing - and this is the sole reason the course gets 2 stars instead of 1.

I personally found the course very useful. It provides a good overview of some of the most widely used bioinformatic tools nowadays, without being too demanding. That labs are particularly good, and you are able to explore at your own pace but with the necessary guidance. I have a background in molecular and cell biology, so I found it very easy to follow.

This course is great at covering the fundamentals of Machine Learning at an intuitive level and not going heavy on Mathematics of it. When it comes to the example assignments though, I prefer the hands on approach of the Udemy course Machine Learning A-Z™: Hands-On Python & R In Data Science. I guess I just do not like Octave somehow and prefer the Python approach coming from an Embedded/Programming background. Taking both the courses side by side is just perfect for getting started with Machine Learning and covers both theoretical and practical aspects for starters like me. Anyways hats off to Mr. Andrew for this course. Thank you.

The course information was fairly useful, but the execution not so much. The material spent more time on somewhat repetitive examples than it did on explaining the actual concepts those examples were illustrating, and the videos were primarily just lecturers reading parts of the slides that you had already read, but in their own words.The tests, sadly, were poorly-designed for the subject matter of the course. Behavioral biases - like many psychological phenomena - overlap to some degree, and the frequently-used format of choose all that apply - or worse choose all that might apply - resulted in trying to guess what the test-setter was looking for rather than trying to apply the information that had been learned. When you find yourself trying to decide between the best answer based on what you have learned and a conceptually worse answer that happens to meet the wording of the question - and trying to guess whether the test-setter is looking to prove your understanding or catch you in a mistake - then you start to suspect that the course has been designed more as a way to earn grades than to actually learn.

Thank you so much! What a fun and practical course. It was delivered so simply and provided a good starting point for coding. I wanted to learn some fundamentals and theory, which I would normally expect to be dry and boring, however with your happy delivery and application to Scratch made that learning process really enjoyable. I looked forward to every week of the lectures and the peer assessments were also insightful. A well structured program! I look forward to furthering my knowledge with you. Thank you again.

Interesting course! Gives a good initial notion of how the EU works.Two written peer-graded assignments are cool: its very interesting to read peers submissions from all over the world (I got ones from Spain, China and US).A major drawback: the slides are mostly bright pictures. It would be nice to make the slides more informative and available for download.

Whenever I read and try to understanding about statistic, I feel its very difficult and confusing. But with the simple method of this video to teach me about statistic, now I feel that my love parameter about statistic is increased. Thank you very much.

Superb. This is the first MOOC I managed to finish, and now Im actively exploring all the extra resources and videos from the course.I originally enrolled looking for tips on how to make my courses more accessible for my students (Im a college instructor), and also to help me hone my learning skills, since Im starting to delve on different fields of study. Not only did I achieve those goals, but Im also very excited to explore new MOOCs and online study possibilities.The only downside, if one could say such, is that this course sets quite a high bar in how a MOOC should be: one can easily percieve that everything about its format -- from the weekly newsletter to the videos length and visuals to the structure and syllabus -- is made with careful consideration of the context of online learning, and of the fundamentals of neuroscience the course shares with the students. Many (good!) MOOCs arent as well tailored as this one.I absolutely recommend it to anyone who is interested (even if frustrated!) with learning, be it independently, online or in a traditional classroom environment. Congratulations and warm thank yous to Dr. Oakley, Dr. Sejnowski, and the Learning How to Learn Team!

Great course, covers a lot of areas. Things do get quite advances, particlarly later on in the Javascript modules so you might have to watch it a few times. Yakoov does a great deal of explanation in order for you to understanding, but somethings might not sink in straight away. The assignments are a great way to troubleshoot issues and their is great support on the discussions fourm. Would recommend. Thank you!

This course was very good. It offered practical tips on business writing which proved to be very helpful in career progress. The course curriculum was well structured and the instructors were also very knowledgeable. I enjoyed a lot pursuing this online course.

This was an enjoyable course taught by someone who is obviously not only a superb pianist and musician but also completely in love with Beethovens piano music. The reason for my 4-star rather than 5-star rating was that I felt the teaching would have benefited from a few visual aids as well as demonstrations at the keyboard. As Mr Biss appeared equally enthusiastic about the music of Haydn, perhaps we might look forward to Exploring Haydns Piano Sonatas in the future?

Brilliant course! I have reviewed this course many times, learning more each time, and I cannot thank Professor Hinton and Coursera enough for making this course available. This course was first offered 4 years ago, but the material (as of 2017) is still quite fresh and relevant, and I would say required for anyone who wants to gain a solid understanding in Neural Networks, learning directly from one of the pioneers of Deep Learning.

If you dont want to actually learn what anything means and just get walked through steps on how to do things then take this course. But if youre a beginner to HTML, CSS, and Java Script, this isnt for you. He doesnt actually TEACH you anything, he just takes you through the process. They havent updated the course content to actually match what is on GitHubs page, so from the start you have to go into the FAQs to figure out where to go from there. Its really frustrating because he will just skip steps, and because he doesnt explain WHY hes doing something, if you miss a step, you get completely lost. Ive taken a few coursera courses, and this was the most frustrating course I have taken.

I audited the free version of the course. I found it helpful in brushing up and polishing parts of French which can sometimes be difficult to find and study online. Theres a great portion of French media that is incoporated in the course which is great. Film clips, comic strips, pieces of writing.If this course lacks two things it would be more assignments, especially practice quizzes. And above that, more detail for some of the topics. For instance, I found the covering of pronouns to be lacking, particular in detailing the difference between dont, a qui, à lequel, etc. and then asking questions about it. A good course. I think worth the time.

Great introductory course on Astrobiology/Exobiology. It provides relevant background to understand what this is all about. I wish there would be more external pointers, recommended readings, and a next stage.

The best part about this course was that it made sure you are interested in learning the subject. If not, it is really really difficult to get on with it. It makes sure you understand the subject really well and you have to give back to the community.I liked the fact that you have to read the Readings for this module part, otherwise you wont be able to pass the Quizzes at the end of each module. You have to write a short paragraph which it will be reviewed by peers, who will in turn give you ratings. You have to do the same for other peers. This was probably the best aspect of this course.The music was extremely annoying and the quality of the content in the videos was okay, but the most important part is that it guided me in the right direction every time. Sometimes, by the end of the video, the music started in between the lecture itself and played itself for 3-4 seconds.

A basic course but not for the ones who dont know anything about java or android. Not made for the beginners. Also the submitting projects work is complicated and should be made more easier.Not recommended for the starter.

The course teaches a lot of core concepts of distributed systems (clouds included). The content is well delivered and the homework reflects the material very well. The homework is appropriately tough.There is an optional programming assignment for setting up a distributed network of nodes with failure detection. I learned a lot about gossip based information spreading while doing the exercise. That said, the assignment is not clearly explained and it is hard to get started.Overall I did enjoy the course and learned a great deal.

Personally I didn´t have experience about ML. The course is didactic and helps to understand lots of concepts. Nevertheless, I strongly suggest to improve scripts since there are some issues to upload homeworks and even there is an answer within the forums, should be a good idea to fix this.

Hi, the prject was nice and at the end I learned some new things, but it didnt have people to provide any guide. In the videos it was said that personal from SwiftKey will be there as well as JHU teachers could provide some insights. It looked a bit like a phantom course

Well designed and executed in the main. As videos are recorded once but viewed thousands of times it would have been nice if they had taken more time to write a script and look more professional - also mistakes in the videos that dont match the current material are few, but very annoying.

Honestly, Its one of the best course in the world. Ive enjoyed and learned a lot from this amazing course. In addition, I was a bit confusing about teaching approach, but after finishing the course, I can work with different approaches in teaching, moreover, I can choose which approach is suitable for my students and which not capable for them. However, I would love to thank you all teachers, classmates.

As a linguist by education and a person with no programming exprerience I can say that this course is rather difficult. At the same time it is interesting and filled with not only knolwedge but also with humour and fun (thanks to the professors).And as far as I was able to accomplish it and to build a Pong game, I can recommend it as a first step into programming.See you in part II

I am a medical student struggling to find the proper technique to engrave all the dense information Medical School has to offer into my core, and that played a toll on me. I knew the problem was not in myself, but my techniques, so I decided I need to spend some time on improving my demolished ways. I had little expectations starting this course, as it was the first online course I had ever started, but I was taken by the quality and style of presenting this information. I had my doubts, but this course was up for the challenge.
