Really interesting thesis about the impetus behind the formation of the Hebrew Bible . Makes a convincing case by linking the historical , geographical , archaeological , and textual evidence . Great lectures and guest lectures . Also provides a case for why studying the bible is important even for secular humanists and atheists . Includes really interesting ideas about the genesis ( pun intended ) of modern conceptions of nations and states .

This course has been an eye opener for me , I truly enjoyed it . It gives you basic knowledge of what it takes to be a good public speaker , and you can apply this knowledge not only in presentations , but also in your daily life . The most difficult part for me was to make the videos and watch myself , but it really helps in your improvement . Also , the feedback of your classmates makes you see things you haven ' t caught . Try it out , you won ' t regret it .

Could be better . The teacher sometimes explain the concepts in a hard way , and not always shows how to do in practice . But you will get curious and in case of doubts , you can find more simple explanations on the web , and the forum is very good . The assignments are hard , you will need do research to accomplish then , but is the best way to learn . I think the specialization is good to someone without much knowledge on the field ( like me ) . But it ' s only the start !

Good course . I did find the quizes not as challenging as the Marketing and Accounting courses I took through Wharton / Coursera . Sometimes it seems some of the Professors talk very quickly as opposed to the Core MBA offerings . Overall , great content . Thank you !

10 out of 5 stars ! Yaakov , you are the best teacher in the world , and this is the best course in Coursera . If only this course lasted a bit longer than four weeks .

The information in the course was really excellent and was set up in a way that it wasn ' t overwhelming . I wish I could give four and a half only because some of the videos explaining procedures were really long and were obsolete , and also because different parts of the site would say that I needed to submit something and others would say that everything was received so it made me really nervous - at one point the site was telling me that I was late in submitted my work and that I ' d need to sign up for a later class but it turns out my assignments had been submitted and graded before the cut off time so that alert just really frazzled me if anything .

Great course . Learned a lot about JSON and XML . Expanded my view of what is possible in programming . Never explained SOAP or why it sucks , and I can kinda explain REST , but still not quite sure what " representational state " refers to . Its just data , no state , and no representation , so why is it called that . Thanks !

Very poor teaching . Extremely difficult to decipher what is important and will be tested , and what is not . They assume that you know terminology and concepts that are not taught . Half of what they show , you are told to ignore . Obviously smart and capable researchers , but teaching the lay person is not their strong point .

This was a great refresher course for me having lived during the Civil Rights Movement but in the northern part of the United States . Dr . Lafayette did a wonderful job in his stories and descriptions to make the Movement struggles and successes real . He and others also shared interesting insider tidbits on those active in the movement . Great class ! Thank you for the opportunity to learn and grow in knowledge of those who fought hard so that each of us in this country can eat lunch or ride a bus however we need to in our every day lives .

A solid course that delivers what it promises - - the foundations of everyday leadership . As someone who is in their 10th year of leading an organization , I took this class as part of the specialization because I want to make certain I ' m keeping my skills fresh . This course was fun for me , as I recognize many of the things I do every day in it . And I also gained some new skills and insights . I recommend this course for any one who is hoping to move into a leadership position , and for current leaders who are looking for a refresher .

Very well - structured & useful course ! Having already a background in SEO and digital marketing , I found this course very interesting with a lot of ideas presented in a clear and easy - to - digest manner . I didn ' t attend the other courses of the specialization but I think that this one summarizes really well the whole specialization . Recommend it ! tl ; dr : I recommend it . Good introduction to macroeconomics . Gives lots of insights and mechanisms . Long course , but it was necessary . A second part would be much appreciated , maybe with more econometrics to give a measure to all these effects .

The video lectures will help you to pass the quizzes , as they are primarily theory and background . The lectures will not , however , aide you in any way in completing the programming assignments . The first programming assignment is extremely difficult and very little is done in the lectures , the textbook , or in swirl to pull all of the pieces together prior to the first programming assignment / quiz . There are so many disparate concepts , that it would be nice if the instructor could at the very least , demonstrate a full analysis of some kind of tabular data in R . How to properly import the data , create the file , structure the data , and then perform some analysis . These concepts are introduced throughout the course , but never brought together in one complete project .

The " Soul Beliefs " course seems to try presenting things in an unbiased manner yet they cannot hide their bias . If the intention was to hold up various beliefs in the past then try to shoot them down , they partially succeeded . Most rational believers however could still hold onto their beliefs because the arguments were very weak . A better title for the course would be " why there is no soul " . That way going in a student would realize that there actually was a hidden agenda .

The information in the videos was very interesting and well presented . I feel like I learned a lot . However , the quizzes and tests seemed to be of a very different level , and often covered material that was hardly discussed in the lectures . I understand that students are expected to do independent learning of material , but the gulf between lectures and test difficulty was extreme . If others were interested in learning about the basics of music theory , I would not recommend this course .

I would advise anyone doing this specialization , to take the Java for Android first , then do the Engineering Maintainable Android apps , as its only in the Engineering Maintainable Android apps that there is an optional coursework to create and test a very simple app for the first time . All the other MOOCs optional courseworks start from very complex pre - existing app examples . I was able to complete these courseworks but I didnt really understand all the surrounding code that did a lot of important UI stuff , or the JUnit test . Its good to be forced to make a simple app and get used to JUnit from day 1 . I did not take this route , but I wish I had .

It is an interesting course . I would say this course expects more from students than other courses . It does not take you by the hand in working with Pandas . For the assignments you will spend a lot of time in the Pandas documentation and Stack Overflow . I don ' t know about others , but this lead to my code being very clunky and not Pandorable code .

I really feel I have learnt a lot from this course and I look forward to implementing some of their techniques . Dr Oakley was particularly good . I struggled with her somewhat soporific voice at the start of the course but once I realised how good the content was I managed to stay awake . I found Dr Senjowski somewhat harder to learn from .

Very well made , great contents . The only reason I removed a star is it seemed to me there was more topics in the quizes than in the course itself in the first part . It was a bit confusing and the quizes required to look up information on the internet and there was no real way to know these topics would be in the quizes . Otherwise , I enjoyed the class and learned a gread deal .

The video materials were very poor , they did not cover all the aspects and the explanations were very brief . The course only contained a single project , which although fun , is not enough for learning a new language . After completing this course I feel that I don ' t really know Swift , but I can use it . After each week you have to complete a quiz . They should replace these quizzes with project , where you write real code . I took this course for free , but I wouldn ' t pay for it .

Thank you so much for this course , I really enjoyed it ! I only gave 4 stars because sometimes it is really hard to understand , especially key words ( I am not talking about the accent but the group and family latin names , etc ) ; I constantly had to check the subtitles for these . To be honest I wasn ' t expecting this content after reading the course title , but it was nice to see evolution from this point of view , great job !

I am working as an organisational consultant and thought this would add some knowledge - however it is really difficult to follow because it seems repetitive to me . I have paid for the certificate and still it is difficult for me to focus . It seems there is too much information and too much talk for things that are easily understood and do not need all this going over and over again . I got bored by the time I got to week 3 and it is seems impossible to stay focused and complete all assignments . I hope this changes in my third and last chance to get the certificate . . .

I enjoyed the course and it is quite light for project finance and I would think that this should act as an intro course for a second more complex course dealing with the actual complexities of project finance . Such as real financial close considerations in developed and emerging markets , early stage sub performance and restructuring as well as refinancing . I would also think that more time should be allocated to project bonds and use of derivative structures on securing cash flows and working ratios to support competitive financing and projects . There were highlights on impacts of Basel on long tenor financing , but more market considerations of new players and structures would have been invaluable .

This course goes on a very fast pace and simply does not have the charm of all the other courses in the specialization . I understand that a lot of content is covered within a month , but there should be supplementary course material available . Moreover , TAs should be more active on the forums . I have seen most of the questions just being discussed among the students . A little disappointed . Will probably have to watch all the material again to have confidence with it .

Thank you to the instructors and the university ! A very interesting course that not only focuses on the content and quality of Scandinavian TV and movie productions but also on the broader ( institutional and cultural ) framework in which they are produced . I would have rated it 4 . 5 starts if possible , but as halves are not possible I give it 4 . Possible improvements : - the delivery of the course can be a bit livier , smoother ; some instructors seem a bit at unease with this format - while an interest in Scandinavian movies and TV series is an implicit prerequisite for a course like this , sometimes simply mentioning ' lists ' of directors , movies , series you might never have heard of can make it a bit overwhelming , hard to relate to - students ' engagement could be enhanced with more interactive assignments

This course is a very good refresher of the basics and Dr Whiteman has explained things very clearly and precisely . Moreover , If you ' re following the complete series of courses , you ' d have grasped a good command over stress analysis . However , in the last leg of this course , I felt that couple of cases with statically indeterminate structures should have been in more detail . I highly recommend this course to everyone looking for a refresher in " Strength of Materials " . I am eagerly waiting for the next part in this series .

Nice job but somewhat slow in presentation and lumbering . The playing on recording to other students for grades is way too cumbersome . Outside of the necessary downloads , recordings , playback the course was presented well and scales and position playing were particularly helpful and clear . Position playing is not as easy as one might perceived and the Instructor did a commendable job elaborating and in particular explaining how the information can be used to be creative and improvise . The reason not a 5 is that the grading is cumbersome and time - consuming to set up

Save your money and just work through the free Galaxy 101 tutorials on the Galaxy site ! I found that the lecturers sometimes used random terminology without ever explaining it for example , " tags " is another word for sequencing reads , but this is only ever used in RNA - seq methodology , and then only rarely ) . Also , the final peer reviewed project isn ' t explained very well and uses tools and methods that aren ' t even within the scope of the module . Mostly just a waste of time .

The University of London is amazing . As a person with severe anxiety who is also a full time student I don ' t have as much time as I would like to focus on these courses but this course was so well compartmentalized and polished that it was a great experience even for me .

The assignments are well thought out and explain the algorithms step - by - step . The subtitles / transcripts are a disappointment : ( . Full of mistakes .

As usual - Graphlab Create sometimes crashes , however there are explanations how to run the assignments using Scikit - Learn .

The scope of the course is interesting , the objective is ambitious and the structure is fine , but the contents and quizzes are very often off - point . A specialist should go critically through the scripts and make a thorough review of the contents . Affirmations are most times not justified at all ( " incremental prototyping will yield a feature - rich and robust software " ) . The quizzes some times ask about things which have nothing to do with what was explained before . The contents about SCRUM are presented eight times partially through the introduction and here . I know it takes a lot of time to prepare this material , but clearly that last effort for quality was not done .

They also provide links and interseting documents where you can get additional information . It is also good because you can interact with other students , their projects and ideas . I miss a few things like giving you tools and social business plans but I believe that they will come in the next courses .

Unlike the very first course for beginners , there is a little bit more content here , so I put 2 stars . However , I still found the pace was too slow , with too much distraction ( " funny " videos , teacher drinking and making mistakes , hummm ! ! ! ) . It is OK to be relaxed as long as the course delivers content in proportion to what has been paid ! I strongly believe this specialisation cycle should actually take one or maximum two courses , not 5 ( with the capstone ) . I am planning to move forward with Python , and to keep reading the booklet which is good ( I like the introduction about the HTTP , XML , JSON and SQL databases ) but sorry Dr Chuck I will not complete this specialisation , it is overpriced for what it is ! !

This is a very interesting course that helps you to understand how an image can be read and interpreted . The focus is very much on the veracity of photography and on the decisioning process which goes through the process of taking pictures . I really enjoyed studying for this course . However , I would expect something more in terms of revision of the final assignment . I would expect some feedback also in order to understand if my reasonings were correct .

Very useful course ! Specially if you are in school or college , but good for anyone ! Very practical , interesting and inspiring , great tips . I enjoyed it very much . Now I have a very clear idea of how to study to learn ( not to just pass a test ) and I will be able to help my son very soon with these techniques . Thumbs up .

I really , really enjoyed this course . As a beginner in the teaching career , it was really mind opening , I ' ve already applied some of the things learned in my classes . The teachers are amazing , and made me really want to have classes with them personally . I ' ve just started the next course , and probably will do all the ones available . Thank you , very very much !

This course should be taken by EVERY 1st year teacher once they are in the classroom or before they step into their own classroom . I ' m positive that this course will help you and will guide you through some of the toughest situations . I really appreciate the fact that they encourage scripting and practicing the toughest things like giving consequences . I will definitely use the tools that they taught me in my second year and to be a more effective teacher . TWO THUMBS UP !

This course was truly an excellent way to learn about Einstein ' s Special Theory of Relativity . The content covered most of the main aspects of Special Relativity , and the instructor did a top notch job of explaining how the various aspects of the theory are derived and many implications of the Theory . The maths involved in this course is no more than high - school level algebra with a few tricks , and as such the course should be within most people ' s reach with a bit of effort . Mind you , the concepts themselves are somewhat counter - intuitive , so be prepared to think a lot about the implications . However , all that being said , I highly recommend this course ! It is a very well presented and accessible way to start to grasp Einstein ' s most profound work in his " miracle year " of 1905 .

Loved this class . Perfect level of difficulty for me , engaging videos , and the material provides the right amount of info to get the assignments done without being too obvious . Dr .

Prof . Ng explains everything super clear . He focuses much more on conceptual understanding than detailed mathematical derivations . All the MATLAB / Octave exercises are interesting and relevant . The best part is that all the peripheral coding is provided and one only needs to focus on implementing machine learning related core functions . Overall an excellent introductory course .

Great course to attend ! It allowed me to discover machine learning algorithms and to see I use some variant of those algorithms in other mathematical problems in my job and studies . Andrew is a great pedagogue and it was a pleasure to listen his explanations . I did like the fact that there was an emphasis on debugging and improving the performance of algorithms . I am now looking forward to learn more and practice machine learning in the future .

I enjoyed the lectures , but I felt they didnt go into enough details on analysis of sequence data . The final project was considerably harder than the material taught in the class and problems with the course ( e . g . the final exam file not being available ) had obviously not been fixed since the last version of the course . A fell I now have a good basic understanding of python but not enough to do any real analysis . Fantastic course mentor / TA .

Some of this content is glaringly wrong e . g that F Roosevelt ' s freedoms weren ' t seen by him as inalienable rights , that culture and education were attributes of Eleanor ' s approach to freedom that were distinctive from FDr . One can go on and on .

Dr . Severance put in lot of efforts to make python easy for all the learners . This Course is about the basics of python . If you are a beginner , you will learn a lot of concepts very easily . For people who have a bit of programming knowledge in other languages , this will help in learning the syntax . Overall a good course to go through .

Dear sir , its great to study with youCan i have a favor please Can i have a hard copy certificate from NUS it ' s sad because i want to learn this course because i love NUS a lot can you give me a favor please , it will be more meaningful to me to spend time and try my best to pass all 5 modules

Dr . Impey is skilled at covering a very broad range of topics and sciences that are all a part of " astronomy " . The slides were clear . The transcripts helped to reinforce the information , although probably done with vocalization software as there are many sentence fragments , homonyms for the actual word , etc . I did not see a date done but I would guess this course was constructed in 2013 - 2014 , so the information is certainly current .

I would give this course a 4 . 5 if I could . I liked the course overall , but felt that there could have been more explanations with the answers to the weekly projects . For answers I couldn ' t solve , I had to look at the solutions and back out the correct formula to teach myself sometimes . I thought the videos were very helpful , but sometimes hard to follow since the text being input in the video was hard to see .

The course is interesting but at the same time quite repetitive . There are many examples in it , but they are all high level examples which are not really going into the details of the creative process . The high level process proposed is good , but it is into the details where the processes fails , and there are no detailed examples here . By far , the worst thing related to this course is the peer review . they define rules which nobody respects and the scoring system is subjective and badly defined . I really regret my decision to join this specialization and the waist of money .

I found this course very useful and learnt how use of regular expressions and later used them to parse HTML pages to look at various tags and content . The use of urllib and BeautifulSoup make my life easier to scrape webpages . Finally , I learnt how to parse XML and JSON . Again , Thank you Dr Chuck and your team for creating such an interesting and exiting course . I have thoroughly enjoyed this .

This course is the best online course I have heard so far at Coursera . As well it is the best course compared to other learning platforms . This course achieves to introduce to the main concepts and provides an intuitive understanding of machine learning . Without drifting too much into the mathematical foundations still the main ideas are very well presented . I really want to thank Andrew Ng for providing this nice course ! ! !

This course is amazing ! It really explains the topic in depth and you learn a lot from both professors ! This course also provides a lot of practical information and you know that it ' s evidence based . It ' s definitely worth the time and effort to watch all the videos and I recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn something . More important : This course is mainly focused on academics but it also links the knowledge to everyday learning ( skills like cooking great dishes , learn a sport or any other skill really )

This course was outstanding ! I learned more from one month of this course than I did while taking a semester of computer science course at my university . Also , the language being taught in this course ( Python ) is much more intuitive than many of the other programming languages I have tried ( C + + and BASIC ) . This course is a must for anyone who wants to learn computer science !

I expected to see much more about " Information " Design , in a sense of Design of Comunication , Design of the Data , Theory of Comunication and how can you remove ambiguity from a design ( visual , industrial , content or what ever design it is ) . Still ok , but I expected better than wireframes and mockups which we already learned a while back . Nice roadmap although .
