As mentioned in the discussion form , it is really difficult to accept the fact " I have a challenge to accept and I need to solve . " Leadership is not a cake walk and needs vision to become a leader and lead people . This course has helped me a lot to become a visionary leader . Thanks to every single member of this team . Great job .

Overall , course quality is good and have a appropriate level of knowledge for new analysts . I will recommend for who begins learning about data analytic . Need improve : Some of the subtitles are wrong . Examinations need have more explanations , they will be helpful when we choose the wrong answer . I need to wait too long for reviewing someone in the end of course . Please consider this .

I loved the course ! I started binge - watching it initially because I just loved the way Prof . Barbara Oakley described things with visual aids . The course is beautifully designed . The optional interviews with interesting people is a bonus !

It ' s good , i have learned some useful learning skills , and it also give me a new perspective on learning . This course in some sense , changed my way of study . This is also the first class i have taken online . Thank you for your efforts , to give me a graet course . 我觉得这门课挺好的,我从中学到了一些很有用的学习技巧,同时它也给了我一个新的方式去看待学习。这门课改变了我的学习方法,我开始做笔记,每天定计划,尽量多使用recall,创建有用的chunk,尽管这才刚刚开始,不过我想我会从中受益的。感谢所有参与这门课程制作的成员,是你们的努力让我有了这次不错的网上课程体验。同时也要感谢翻译的成员,正是有了中文做参照,才让我能坚持下来,完成课程。Thank you .

I found this course too advanced for my level of familiarity with statistics . Its true that most basic stuff is covered to be fair , but the progression is very rapid . As I work long hours and other commitments I didn ' t have enough time to dedicate to study beyond the time needed just for this course . If I had been able to study an extra 10 hours a week practicing using the formulas then I ' m sure I would have got more out of it .

Creative Writing : The Craft of Plot is simply one of the best video courses I have found on the subject . Easy to follow , great examples , clearly explained , engaging presentations and assignments , tips from the experts ; all those things made this one course I couldn ' t " put down " . Brando Skyhorse comes across as a phenomenal teacher who really knows his subject and truly cares about it , that alone makes the course worth watching . I will definitely be referring back to this again . Keep an eye on the dedication should my novel ever hit the shelves !

I ' ve completed numerous MOOCs but this teacher is simply the best . Very passionate and explains things extremely well . All the lectures look extremely thought out , topics are presented in somewhat funny , but really professional way , quizes are sometimes challenging , but that ' s great ! . If you struggle with Calculus , you should definitely take this course . But it ' s also great for people that like Math in general - I ' ve passed my Calculus stuff long ago , but wanted to recover that knowledge to enter different programming areas and that was one of the best thing I did last year . Jim , please add more courses ! !

The course is interesting and might be useful for complete strangers in the world of fitness / physical activity , as it provides some general ideas about implementing activity to one ' s daily life , as well as gives a good understanding on stating achievable goals . For those who have the essential knowledge of all that , the course would be a repetition of the basics . The most useful part seems to be about the goal setting , and that is what I ' d recommend to start with for most students . The course won ' t be useful for fitness \ sports professionals . Follow - up e - mails for many months after the course ends seem to start turning somewhat annoying . The quality on the videos ( sound especially ) is often a bit on the poor side .

No teaching . Just a guy talking . Do the problem sets for practice . If you need help , pause the videos and try the code out yourself . Seriously though , a programming course where the teacher is not actively type out the code but just scribbling around it . He doesn ' t work through code but talks around the concepts .

Great course . Lot of complicated detail segmented and described in a way that was easy to digest . Thoughts for improvement are with the first few segments . The lessons didn ' t start with the " why " . Why machine learning is used or what problem it solved . I had to google that in order to understand before the course which started with " what " it was . the course is designed in a way you can not accomplished or get certificate on the proposed timeframe . It was very disappointing to pay for certification and not be able to get it due to issues with the course developers ( a lack of understanding of how coursera works it ' s clear they did not care to adapt to a 5 week course ) and peer reviewed activities proposed that took over 6 weeks to get done . further to the course timeframe ) The assistance from developers was too poor and never sought to find solutions , which is very strange in a course for coaching . Not the mention video quality that is scary , I could not watch the videos , and preferred to study by reading the transcriptions .

Professor has a soft , easy to follow teaching style but the course structure has several pitfalls : It gets too theoretical in week 3 and 4 and you really don ' t need complex algebra or statistics to pass the course but it ' d be hard to understand the core matters without them . Week 4 ' s assignment is only a quiz and I think there should have been a project to really test student ' s ability to apply the learned materials in real situations . Besides , you don ' t need programming skill to complete the assignments , but it takes a lot of time to learn free , ready - made datavis tools and they are too limited to deliver the outcomes we want . I think if anyone is serious about learning data visualization , you can ' t get away with not knowing programming and statistics and those two should be prerequisites .

Thank you for making me understand the very basics of finance , OMG . Although I prefer Islamic finance ( without interest ) , I wanted to understand how western finance works . The videos are short , to the point , and I would advice anyone to be committed . I like how Coursera sends you emails to remind you , encourage you and motivate you to complete the course . Much respect for the work you put into the technical notes , and for making the concepts as easy to understand as possible !

I really appreciate the approach which was taken to present such a delicate topic , but still there are some mistakes which shouldn ' t had happened . Like the year of Einstein ' s death according to common known history is not 1995 . Also , many times , English subtitles are not correct , I have a feeling that machine has done it . Sometimes there is no understanding of content just the closest word to the sound produced was used . In any case , it is worth of my time , I will recommend it . Students are also provides with plenty of additional materials and when one has more time can study

I really enjoyed this course overall ( and it was somewhat easy for me because I have some background in this already ) , but there were some technical issues especially regarding accessing assignments . It would be nice if there was a more robust group of volunteer tutors / teaching assistants or something to answer questions or deal with these technical issues , especially the final exam not working for a while for me and some other people . But , I enjoyed the illustrations ( drawings ) and cute examples , and also the lecturer did a pretty good job on camera . I would probably give this course a 4 . 5 if possible , but I am hesitant to give it a full 5 points because of the technical issues . Anyway I would recommend the course to someone who wants a survey of quantitative methods to prepare for future study .

However , even if you have some experience but are not familiar with Python ( as it was my case ) , you can take this course quickly ( speed x1 . 50 ) in order to learn the basic sintax of Python and catch up for the following courses in the specialization .

It ' s a good course and the contents are very helpful . There are important components like negativity bias and loving - kindness meditation . However I somehow feel it lacks a more systematic or scientific approach since lots of the materials goes on with a free and open discussion that very much depends on subjective views or feelings of selected individuals who joined the discussion . Take another example , " What is Love " session clearly depends an individual ' s own view . It contradicts " triangular theory of love " and the lecturer doesn ' t even explain why .

Very good course for anyone who has struggled to understand how to program , especially in a self - directed / self - motivated way . This course taught by Dr . Chuck was broken down into concise simple sections that kept me interested , and I could follow along easily , with just the right amount of complexity in the quizzes and chapter exercises , so as not to discourage me . I ' ve tried to learn computer programming using Java ( inside & outside of a tertiary environment ) with very limited success , but switched to learning python because it seemed more intuitive . So while i ' m not a complete " novice " to programming , this course had the " Goldilocks Effect " for me . " Just right " : D

Assignments The words and terms used in the lecture are very simple . He definitely put some thought in the perspectives of non - engineers . that calming sentence , " you don ' t have to worry about this " - After the week 6 , the assignments focuses less on how to use the algorithms , but more on the pre / post processing .

A great course to begin Machine Learning ! Prof . Ng explains everything very well and gives good examples on each subject . The course also involves applications in Octave / Matlab . This course is highly recommented !

Besides an engaging instructor ( Brandon Skyhorse ) , the modules ' content is accessible for nascent writers . Moreover , I enjoy the shop talk series with authors . These lectures cum interviews show a fulfilling , intimate view of writing lives . I feel more confident in my writing and have been a better , more critical reader of others ' work , especially my own . I recommend this course to anyone who needs to brush up on their creative writing skills and for those who want to start from a clean slate .

My favorite of the Python specialization so far . You learn databases and structure as well as how to interface with them with python and various API ' s and data structures common on the web today ( xml , JSON ) . Love the lectures . Dr . Chuck does a fantastic job .

It was extremely intriguing and exciting to learn the program modules in such a systematic and comprehensive manner but still retain the fun elements of business and Entrepreneurship . It was gripping right till the end and I did not loose my focus even once . More than anything it was a fun learning experience and I will surely try and be a part of the second leg as well . It was an eye opener for as to how business is done and things are made to look so simple in the module by just having a systematic approach to risk and risk mitigation whilst developing a business . Thank you to all the teaching faculty for this great learning experience .

This course is really nice ! Normal courses are superficial with basic knowledge . I really like the way of researchers introducing their area and talking about the recent related publications . It is a proper course for college or post - graduate student in this area ! Thank you for making so much effort !

I took this course seriously and worked all the way till the last assignment . As per my experience and understanding the course contents are quite dense , but the lucid and succinct presentation made it quite comprehensible and interesting . I was amazed to find how well the concepts were formulated in a suitable mathematical modelling . I wholeheartedly thank Prof . Ng and the support stuffs for this wonderful course .

I learnt so much from this course . Thanks Andrew Ng for your excellent short videos which gave so much of knowledge in short span . The programming exercises were great . I can feel how hard you people worked out to get these materials to us . Thank you so much for your effort . May be one day I will make use of the stuff that I learnt from you .

An excellent course , Dr . Chuck manages to put various things with ease . Material as well as teaching is excellent . However , I found the necessity of having more programming exercises with more difficulty than what course presently offers . More exercises with higher difficulty are needed to emphasize the material we have learnt . Apart from that , this is an excellent course .

Very good material and I ' m grateful they provided it . There were many issues with the problem sets : incorrect , unclear , beyond scope of course , placed in wrong order of content . I reported all of these and never got even one response , perhaps because I ' m not a paying customer . I had considered paying for the certificate but the more issues I encountered the more I was relieved not to have paid . But a great course nonetheless .

I am deeply satisfied with the course . It was my priviledge to study from the professor . Sir Hitoshi Murayama was amazing . He lectures were wonderful . Course contents were nicely organised .

Dr Chuck , Databases was a dreaded subject for me . Tried my hands a couple of times and left it alone . Thanks to you and your team ( if any ) , I am pretty confident of designing small scale DBs and play around with it . Again , simplification of explanations holds the key here . Kudos ! ! ! rgds , umesh

While Professor Kaul ' s enthusiasm and passion for finance is inspiring , his lectures are not entirely helpful come time to face assignments . He often rambles through the material , spending more time talking about his life rather than the material at hand . When he decides to finally talk about the material , it presented in a disorganized and confusing fashion . If he developed a disciplined schedule with material that was on par with the assignments , this course would not have been nearly as frustrating ; challenging assignments , I agree , are crucial for learning the material well . I just wish I didn ' t have to spend more time browsing the internet finding material pertinent to answering his arbitrarily open - ended questions .

I enjoyed the course , but I the scripting part was still mainly , " here ' s a script to add to the game , and then we ' ll look it over " . There was very little scripting until the project , which really didn ' t require much scripting either . I recommend adding more ACTUAL scripting , or a new section or course that discusses ACTUAL scripting . Otherwise , I did find it informative . I have a lot more questions , but until I see the final course , I can ' t say whether they ' ll be addressed .

Thank you for the course ! It was challenging in some way and VERY interesting . Besides , it is really stimulating in terms of self - learning as some aspects are mentioned but briefly . Personally I had some trouble with navigation , which made me spent a lot of time browsing the Internet for some information . But as they say no pains , no gains : ) Thank you , Colleen ! Looking forward to CSS course .

Short lectures , good notes , and the assignments and quiz ensure you understand the material very well . Although it was more difficult than part 1 , I still found everything very easy to digest and understand . Would definitely recommend to beginners or someone looking to learn programming in Python . For a more in depth general understanding of Computer Science , Take CS50 on EDX . That course is very challenging . I ' m taking both at the same time and although different languages ( C and Python ) , they serve as a nice counter balance .

This was by far the best class I have had so far on Coursera . I feel that I now have a really good understanding of linear and logistic regression and neural networks as well as the other learning methods that we touched upon . I thought that the quizzes and assignments were very appropriate and helped me to further cement my understanding that I gained through watching the video . Professor Ang explains the material very clearly . I always walked away feeling that any questions I might have were answered completely in the videos or in the discussions . I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to have a good understanding of Machine Learning .

Really good course , I recommend it to anyone working in the MENA region as a journalist , or business person . Great presentation of the subject . Professor Afsah ' s teaching style , insights and critical theory approach combined with pragmatic reflections is very enlightening and useful for me as a journalist working in Islamic nations . I like the recap checks mid lesson , that ' s useful , as I ' m working and get tired , so it ' s a good check on my own concentration levels .

In this course , I see the future of education . It is light years ahead of any other course I ' ve taken on Cousera or EdX , as the instructor has developed a web pedagogy that gives the course the feel of seminar - based instruction at a top - tier brick and mortar institution of higher education . In this course , students become members of a lively learning community that is always on .

Unfortunately this course consists of the Professor reading his notes very quickly with rapid listing of concepts and very little time spent explaining complex topics . The quizzes emphasize the terms for various elements of the analysis rather than teaching how to work with the tools to analyze data . There does not seem to be anyone monitoring the course forum and mistakes in quiz questions and questions asked on the forum are not answered or replied to by anyone . I was committed to working with the course but by week 4 it was unfortunately impossible to absorb and there was no way to interact with anyone to get help . I ' m sure there is room for improvement on this course and I hope the instructor does work to improve with the course , but currently the course is disappointing as a learning experience .

This class ' information was very mistaken when it failed to mention that you would need background in the subjects being covered to take this course . The teachers , while it is clear that they are very knowledgeable in their fields , fill their lectures with unnecessary jargon . I ' m not sure if they are primarily researchers who aren ' t used to teaching or if they are only used to teaching students who are far advanced enough that the vocabulary of those fields are second nature to them . As someone who was taking this class without that advantage , I was quickly lost among all the jargon , to the point where I just had to stop . I ' m hoping the find something else that is truly an overview meant for someone without a science background .

It feels like this course was abandoned by the instructors . The Programming Assignments are practically impossible to be done unless you have previous programming experience . Other than swirl , it would be very helpful if there were basic optional exercises for those who have never programmed before . I worked hard to be able to follow it , but if I knew how uninvolved the instructors were , I would have saved my money and spent it on a course with active involvement from those who developed it . Disappointing .

Excellent . Very comprehensive course that has relevance to academic research scientists and those with less scientific training . This is accessible for those with busy schedules and encourages and provides information for further reading on the topics . A very good historical overview but critically with up - to - date recent research developments . The graphics , visualizations , animations and on - site demonstrations work very well . I highly recommend .

I am halfway through the course and while the course is able to give good intuitions of what ' s going on at any one point in time it often lacks dept . The real reason I ' m rating it 3 / 5 , though , is that the mathematical notation is all over the place . You will find a matrix product such as A * B ' only to go on and implement A ' * B . This is SO confusing . I would still recommend this course , but you should definitely record every single lesson again without mistakes and fix those errors .

Excellent for absolute beginners ! But , if you have good experience in CSS & JavaScript you might play it at 1 . 5X , it is too informative to be attended by someone who knows even a little it might be boring , then . Generally , the course is very informative , rich , instructions based and have very good exercises covering all the course content with a good - as - a - start hands on experience .
