The course content was comprehensive, thorough and required note taking with preparation for quizzes. Solid academically.Some of the assignments required use of third party applications and websites that did function as anticipated or are no longer supported.Peer grading was very poor. It frequently seemed students did not read submissions, off handedly grading. At times comments did not match the scores, such as nice work, or good job, while giving only 3 stars.

I was very excited when I discovered that the most influent universities in the world are providing courses for free to students. I had never heard about Georgia Tech, but because of this excellent course of Introduction to Mechanical Engineering I search about it and saw its magnitude. I really would like to study in somewhere like that and I appreciate your work here, specially to Dr. Whiteman who teached me a lot and made me laugh sometimes with his intelectual sense of humor. I divulgate the Coursera plataform and the Georgia Tech to my collegues and hope that more and more students could appreciate the technology that you both offer to us. Thank you!

This is the third course in a specialization, and I rate all of them highly. While this course if for beginning web developers & programmers, they do a good job of familiarization with the tools and considerations that go into building an attractive, responsive web site.As soon as I finish the fourth course in this series, Im going to enroll in a full stack course.

This course is just AMAZING! I am a composer and I found myself astonished of how much I was lacking, yet, the quizzes translations, man, are so bad, must of the time those where Straight trough translations that are complete meaningless on Spanish, its like they simply used Google translate. You might think it is not THAT bad, well there are sections that ask you to determine stability based on the length of the line... good luck with that (Spanish usually takes more words to write the same idea)

This course basically treats you like an extremely slow-learning retarded individual. Totally waste of your time by watching a bunch of videos. The contents are so thin. All the contents covered in these course videos can be summarized in a 10-minute video. If you have a lot of time you dont know how to spend. Enroll in!

Good basic introduction to Python. The course should be easy to understand and follow even if you are not a programmer. To top it all Chuck is an amazing teacher full or energy, enthusiasm and knowledge. His love for Python is seen in each and every chapter. I am glad that I took this course on Coursera. Will definitely recommend this to others. Would love to take the advanced part of the course soon.

Im kind of disappointed with this last level. It isnt really what i expected.

Very strong concept, to take and employ in your day to day life. I found it very vital for not for profit work.However, substantial philosophy knowledge is needed in order to really absorb and follow the argument.

Great course! Really helped me organize my thoughts and reduce most of the stress that I am going through in my life. It touched many interesting topics that I have learned to enjoy learning during high school and college, and it definitely touched them in a creative and quiet striking way. Many thanks to the professors, Mrs. Oakley and Mr. Sinowski (forgive me if I misspelled your names, but spontaneity brought me here and I cant go double check them! Im sure you understand! :)), to the students that have shared ideas and contributed to some of mine own. I wish we used technology to build groups and share even more. I hope each and every one has enjoyed and learned as much as I did! Thanks to the University of California, San Diego, for such great content and beautiful package! Thanks to Coursera for providing such interesting topic and allowing me and people from all over the world to enjoy it!

This is a very unevenly paced and constructed course - not at all delivered to the standard of the previous Coursera courses I have followed. Some lectures are clear and guide the learner step by step - and then others suddenly assume a level of knowledge and sophistication that is at a significantly higher level and includes concepts that have either not been introduced or have been dealt with in minimal detail. It also ends up focusing more on music analysis than music theory - while there is a relationship between these 2 approaches I did not embark on this course to become an analyst - as a practising musician I wanted to understand more of the concepts behind what I do and hear. Very disappointed - I will now look elsewhere to satisfy my learning.

I will give it a 4, but 3.5 would be my review if the 3.5 mark would be available.Strenghts of the course: Solid and elegant presentations, good readings, and the interviews presented with the ICJ judge and the PCA secretary added value.Weakeness and Opportunites: No slides, excessivelly short course in video resources (discounting the interviews, it had about 20-40 minutes of videos, what is clearly insuficient, when benchmarking with other offerings in the MOOC arena) and allowing quizzes to be taken on a 2x per hour is not in my opinion adequate. It makes it too easy and fast to finish the course and does not create an incentive to review the materials. Leiden should focus in presenting more specializations in the educational fields that it has reputation - Law, Tax Law, International Studies, in order to capture more value from the current lack of offerings of specializations in that niche markets.Threats: There is a lot of offerings on the MOOC space, with a finite time availability to make choices. By having courses that are very short, there is the risk that people become inclined to chose other offerings that offer more video resources and other materials.Besides my opinion - I am a critic by design, thank you for continuing offering courses in this platform.I wish you luck.Ricardo Oliveira

Doesnt go much further then common sense. Introduces terms for concepts you probably know, just didnt know its a concept. The lecturer is terrible. His stories, or i guess metaphors that are supposed to help you understand and remember things are aweful. He takes way too long to get the point across.Some helpful things are mentioned. Gives you the ability to distiguish problem solving methods, so you may use them as required.Nonetheless, mostly wasted my time watching this.

An outstanding course, delivered by a marvelous teacher. Coverage of topics is excellent, leading me to dig more deeply into several of the areas. One focus of interest is decision-making, something the Neuroeconomics course by Vasily Klucharev addresses quite well. This course connects some of that to the rest of the CNS. Professor Peggy Mason does a great job connecting brain and nervous system features to illness, particularly to stroke. Im 77 - this is important to me!

I am 83 years old. Much of this I remember. I did poorly on the test because It is hard for me to take clear notes quickly. {medical condition}. However, as coming from a Jewish background I found the class very interesting. Israel will survive no matter how horrible the situation in the Middle East exists!Joyce Spier

You have to use adobe illustrator to make the infographic and I didnt think the course did a good enough job giving the basics for that. I had to do a lot of googling to figure out how to do stuff on my own. All of the assessments are done by the people in the course and I thought people were a little too harsh. If someone is completely new to AI then it is a bit much to expect the infographic to be magazine quality.

I have been in the web dev field for almost a year. The intro says that this course is not for beginners, but I still took it, since I want to learn HTML systematically. My original plan was to skim through most contents and focuses on those I dont know before. This course goes beyond by expectation and is very useful to me. I feel getting systematic knowledge from it.In addition to the course content, the professor conducts the lecturers in a very clear way. I like her teaching style.

It was fast, but provided a good overview. I would like some cases to work and to apply the methods to.

I found this course VERY helpful. The way Andrew teaches the machine learning concepts is unparalleled! The course is well structured, well-timed, and well presented. I also appreciate the practical experience that I came away with by doing the Octave exercises. Because I was engaged, I think I have retained at least 90% of what was taught. Thank you Andrew and the forum moderators. Thank you to other students for sharing their insights as well.

Excellent course. Focusses mainly on data analysis in Excel rather that teaching you all excel function. A good way to learn both. I recommend anyone interested in data analysis to take this course. The exercises are challenging to answer. Its fun solving them

So far the topics are very interesting but the accent of the teacher is sooo difficult to follow and distracts me! Also, she is looking down to read all the time and this doesnt reflect her knowledge.

Great course for any professional who wants to learn more about direct taxation and tax planning. Subjects like BEPS, EU State aid etc. are covered at length! Definitely recommended!Maybe just some small points of criticism: the assignments are not very clear, the time shown you need for the course and for the reading is not accurate, prepare for more if you wish to really get something out of the course.

This was a very good course covering great information on Big Data with many quizzes and workshops to reinforce the learning content. I found it very interesting and looking forward to continuing the big data journey. Passing this course was fun and exciting! Im already using what Ive learned on my job. Im planning on registering for the next module but taking a moment to celebrate this success.

This is a terrific course! I really enjoyed Dr. Cockrells lecture style. He is very articulate and presents and explains the material very well. The photos and graphics were very useful for following the lectures and understanding the material.I found the What Have We Learned summaries after each lecture very helpful. I would like to take more courses offered by Dr. Cockrell in the future.

Good introduction course

Was expecting a course geared towards how popularity affects adults in day to day life and how to improve ones own popularity. This course expands upon the various studies done with respect to children and adolescents. It also provides a few examples of how popularity in early life extends to adult life. Still a very useful course if you have children or wondered what it took to be popular as a child, but due to the difference in expectations, Im giving this course a 4/5 instead of a 5/5.

This class is an extreme example of an introduction to a subject - very basic information. I would guess that anyone who actually knows the term Internet of Things and was able to find this course already knows all of the content presented here. For completeness and ensuring that everyone is on the same page, I suppose it it required. I took off one star for how basic, yet drawn-out the information is (it could have been covered in a single week). The other two stars came off because of how tedious the peer-review assignments are and how little they add to the understanding of the content (it is not hard to understand, so the assignment ends up just being busy work). The two stars I gave were because the instructor seems knowledgable and the rest of the specialization looks promising.

I loved the course and I have learned so much! I enrolled mainly for the language reasons, to practice my French but I got so much more out of it than I hoped for. I really enjoyed learning about various aspects of ethics through time. Kudos to the creators fo this course! Merci beaucoup!

Too many lectures, specialized audience with huge competition, not accessible by novices of philosophy and only assessed through a single peer-reviewed assignment-essay.

Pity that people had to spend more time on making the plugins work than actually doing the exercises/assignments but good content nonetheless.

This course has given me a much better understanding of many concepts I never understood while studying at university - Like the sampling distribution etc. and I can recommend it...The only but is... I can see from the discussions that some (many?) students have problems with the R assignments. I have been programming previously, so I have not have had these problems. I would though like that these R assignments where easier to print or collect in a PDF document, so that I could easily use it as a howto later.

There were some mistakes and weird glitches, but overall solid overview of second-half chem

This was a very useful course which covered the main fundamental aspects of graphs in Java. The assignments were very interesting and challenging as well. The lecture videos provided all the information in a very detailed manner. There was nothing more I could ask for. Overall it was a great experience!!

I am a woman in my late 50s who has been limited in my life, my education, and my employment by lack of confidence in my ability to learn math. In Summer 2016, I will complete all of the classes for a BS degree, all but two math classes. After completing Learning How to Learn, I am confident that, while math may be a challenge, it is a challenge I will overcome.Thank you for sharing these learning tools with the rest of us!

Great course and awesome teaching by Prof. Emily Fox. Prof. Fox did a great job of teaching some of the really tough components (GMM, LDA, etc) in simple and lucid style (like always) and that made it easy to understand and comprehend those topics.The one thing that I felt had gone down compared to the previous 3 courses was that for some of the topics, the material felt too short and felt like it was cut down to fit within the 6 weeks course duration. I would have at least liked some extra reading material or references especially for GMMs, LDA, Gibbs Sampling, etc.

there is a lot of Errors in your words and you correct it by Messages but it make a lot of destrbution for us , You are very quickly please be little slow when you speake , we need more Examples and please mention for us before the module what module we should revice in your courses or out before go ahead on it.

What I really enjoyed in this course was to discover how to represent streets and intersections and finally trace a path from a starting point to a destination, like a GPS! Really nice!

A good introduction

Bad or superficial explanations. The instructor speaks very fast and you need to continually stop the video to keep the pace. Some interesting commands and are shown, but the instructor seems to be tired of explaining them and defers explanations to lots of links at the end of each video.

The videos did cover the basic theories behind all the methods for portfolio management however they were just basic theories with no explanation on how to practically implement them and then asking us who only understand the theories from the videos to suddenly try to solve the calculation quizzes especially those excel calculations without any practice on how to implement them beforehand. Besides the videos only showed the formulas with no example at all! Very disappointed with the course... This course is not recommended for those who have zero or little experience in the field..

Helloto all how works in this course thank you

Since my own goal is to be a life long learner, I have read a lot of books about learning and brain. This course has demonstrated the framework and method so that I can connect what I learnt together. That is to say, it is like pearls connecting to the necklace. Thanks for your course.

good work thank you all

Enjoyed week 1, looking forward to week 2. Believe my review will be five stars by the end of the course. Am interested in taking more MOOC like this in philosophy.Enjoyed week 2, looking forward to week 3 and starting Ancient Philosophy: Aristotle and His Successors. I like the lecture style and can tell Susan really enjoys teaching the subject.Enjoyed week 3, looking forward to week 4. So far, Plato and Socrates make much more sense to me than Aristotle but I have only done week 1 of Ari. Perhaps Ari mellows a bit as he gets older, lets hope so. ~(B-)Just finished week 4, great course. Only sorry that I couldt give it six stars. I read that Socrates was married to a bit of a dragon who kicked him out of the house every day, either to get a real job or so he wouldnt get under her feet while she was doing the housework. So, Philosophy could have started as an alternative to drink or hanging round the bookies all day? Mind you, the drink still got to him in the end. No wonder his decision to go for the Hemlock was taken so quickly. Wonder why Socrates didnt ask other Athenians why they got married? If he had all other philosophers since may have been singles with no advice for the rest of humanity on the what, why, when, who, where, when, and how of the logic of the process. Perhaps Aristotle may have the answer? See you all on the next stage down the road to discovering the Meaning of Life. T.T.F.N.

Outstanding course! I was an absolute beginner and knew nothing about the guitar or how to play it. I now feel that I have great understanding and a strong foundation to build upon. It starts out fairly easy and takes you step by step through everything you need to know but builds quickly and takes lots of practice to become proficient with each of the lessons, especially if youve never played and instrument before. The biggest benefit from the class is that I know feel comfortable that I have sufficient knowledge that I can continue to develop my skills at my own pace using various on-line resources.

I have always been interested in the fashion industry and found this subject not only informative, but also fascinating to go through. I enjoyed this immensely. Some information I knew, but there was a lot that also opened my eyes.My only negative was the clarity of the speakers English at times which made me have to either listen to the video again or use sub titles, otherwise I would give 5 stars. Other than that, a very informative and interesting course. Well put together and structured. Thank you.

Very good! I already learn the basic before actually. But after join this class, i learn a lot since we learn it from a native speaker. Thank you for Professor Kang, i really enjoy your class. Hope you will open the next level so i can learn more about korea, the language and also the culture. :)

Another really good course on GIS. I followed on from the first in the specialisation and I think I would have been quite lost without doing that.I like to follow the videos with the demo materials in an open version of ArcGIS - this can be quite hard as some of the demo materials are very big and my laptop struggles to keep up with big processing, a slight improvement could be to have smaller demo files.

This was an amazing experience for me. The teaching method was an absolute pleasure for me as a leaner. Great graphics and short lessons worked perfectly for me. It was as if I just didnt want the course to finish. Well I guess what I am trying to say is, I not only learned so much, but I enjoyed the learning process. It was all smooth for me. Keep the strategy up! Many

Ive always wanted to learn typography but learning on its own without any practice is really boring. The assignments are really good in applying what I have learnt, making the learning really enjoyable. The course teacher is super zen and loving his style of teaching. I would want to take this full design course some day.

Too much material, that moved too fast. Wasnt opportunity for enough feedback and explanation. I say this as someone who went to Duke and has taken similar classes at Duke!

You are forced to do your own research and study as the instruction is light. However, ample tools are provided like CopePen which allows you to test and play. The forums are a great to see what the rest of your class is doing and saying. Good luck with the course :)

This course is an excellent beginning for anyone whod like to discover the fantastic realm of Machine Learning. It is beginners oriented, but people who already have a certain level in mathematics will be challenged too. I really enjoyed the coding parts: guided, thorough and informative, with a lot of optional exercices to test ones comprehension of the material.Id have liked to hear about decision trees, but hey: that would have been the cherry ON the cherry on the cake.Thank you Professor Ng for making this course available free to all learners around the world. Thanks also to all the mentors that helped so many students in their path to achievement.All the best for you new learners,K.

R labs are too tedious for people with medical or science background! we need explanations rather than trying to figure it out on our own!

the course was fantastic especially the 1 minute lawyer segments. Not sure if it is a site problem, problem with the course or with my machine but I frequently had times where the picture would freeze and audio would continue. The videos while informative were also quite long and it might have been a better idea to divide each 20 minute video into 2 smaller ones. Otherwise though it was a great course by a fantastic professor.

Audio is terrible - cant continue

I didnt enter this course because I wanted to learn Python as such; well that too, but I would actually like to teach, mentor, inspire and influence people in a positive way. If I can be only half as good as Dr. Chuck, Ill be a very happy man :)When I have the financial resources, I would seriously consider doing the rest of the Python Specializations too.ThanksFrancois Laubscher, South Africa.

Too much question and it takes me too much time on it

i am very happy as i was perusing the course despite the hard time i got while completing it, i earned a lot of skills from the course and am lucky that it helped in what i am doing currently because it touched many areas where i needed to apply a course outside, now that you did it online, it has saved me alot, the videos i downloaded for revision purposes... thank you so much for that.............

I love this course, I think its one of the best I did in the past few years, most of the content are material that I read over twenty years ago, but the style and projects in this course bring the subject to another level.The course is fun, and by the end of it I had a working virtual computer from the components I built, running machine code from the assembler I wrote. The course is fun, its clear, simple to follow, and the instructor are great.The truth is I felt a little sad that the course ended :). Looking forward for the second part of it.

GOOD place to start THe arduino intro is good but little short on c but its only 4 weeks not enough for me to grasp right off the bat anyway so i back off to next session then catch up more C then finish its only a couple short c videos then your asked to write programs with little or no knowledge basicly 3- 7 min lectures on the language EASY TO BE KINDA LOST AT FIRST IM 60 yrs old not twenty !!! From what im reading online LIBRARIES ARE TOTALLY LIMITED ON ARDUINOS IDE nd ITS NOT REALLY C its ARDUINO C because a lot of the workings of the arduino ide are easier for new people alot of the inner workings are hidden tough to learn the inner workings unlike a full featured IDE GOOD Platform to start on AFTER BASICS HERE with tidbits Id rather go later to C++ and spend the time there then get on better platform ARM PIC boards with real ides and REAL C + something you can use in the real world for bigger programs and I can see staying here at arduino too long and not going on to other platforms could cause bad programing habits to start with writing limited code just seems more productive after you get your electronics down coding and some hardwhare experience to go right to the real deal Pic arm or any of the other boards with a MUCH steeper learning curve GREAT to Figure out and learn electronics get some hardwhare experience here of course on ARDUINO and from what im seeing from some pros Even if there on more advanced platforms that run bigger faster programs dont have the bootloader many pros use arduino for a first layout to test circuits here first GOOD COURSE gets you DIGGING AND THINKING This is where to start you certainly cant start on advanced platforms right off its really almost impossible without a lot more skill to obtain first

I found the wording of the assignments really difficult to follow so I didnt really understand what was expected of me. I spend a lot of time (and therefore money!) on this course but in the end I made a conscious decision to stop. I was taking it for personal pleasure and it was not worth the stress each week of trying to work out what was being asked. I have taken a number of other courses in creative writing elsewhere, and other courses on Coursera - this is the first one I have actively chosen to stop because I just wasnt engaging with it - either for education or for enjoyment.

great course.. only thing is answers to teradata exercises were not provided. So student cannot know whether he is writing correct sql statements

This course feels a lot like its being taught by a non-teaching professor. The lectures are very long, not chunked for easy viewing (to the point where I couldnt download to my phone for offline/off-wifi use). There are very long locally-hosted readings (so theyre hard to print and you cant add them to an offline reader app), and the Reading section for each lesson seems to be a bibliography (rather than actual reading assignments), because there are no links and some refer to Selections without giving page numbers or, in at least one case, a multi-volume book. The information is comprehensive and very valuable, but the delivery is very lacking as a MOOC.

This course is bit disappointing because of the way it has been presented. Ideally the speaker should focus on detailing the points highlighted in the slides but in this course the speaker is just passing on the same information which are there on slides without adding much value. Although i was deeply interested in this subject and would look forward to the revised version of the same.

This course has been a great source to revise and learn calculus. The textbook and the course quizzes have added great value to the course. Thanks to Dr. Fowler and his team for providing a very good course. It would be great if they could come back with a course for multi-variable calculus.

Definitely this course helped me to improve my listening skills which was the goal I had in mind. Of course there was some troubles for me, but I ended up having a great time listening the lectures. Its all a matter of practice and the techniques Ive been taught are definitely useful for most academic lectures.Now I believe I have a sharper hearing!

I little slow to start but the pace picks up nicely. Content is generally easy to follow. Some differences between spoken and voice recognition subtitled text. Practical tests were interesting but not particularly well explained for the MapReduce shapes task, which seemed to leave a few puzzled.

I cant believe this course is aimed at people with no experience in building a website. The videos are actually slide shows and use too few screenshots. Had this been my very first introduction to how a website was built I would never have progressed any further than these lessons. Much more in-depth information is necessary, including step by step screenshots of various processes.Terrible course.

It is one of the best course I have taken. I am really enjoying my progress and its simple and easy to learn. So, I recommend, if anyone interested in Big Data it is worth taking this Course and You get some confidence to go deeper.Big Thanks to Jana. You are such a Wonderful instructor.Cheers....Vishnu

I thought at first according to the title of this course, that it should be an intro for c programmers. But it is more like a brush-up for already c++ programmers. Be ready to take some other course or reading parallel. Otherwise the homeworks are absolutely interesting and suitable for new-comer. It would be better if more videos with more details could be made.

He terribly prepared us for quizes and gave about 4 examples in the entire course. I filled a notebook with about 40 pages of notes, about 3 of which were useful for the quizes. Though content was good, but i found myself looking things up because of his somewhat neive explanations of difficult concept.

This course has great potential as it is an extraordinarily timely topic, domestically and globally. The accessible required reading assignments were thought provoking and topical. Also, one of the required videos proved helpful, and a couple of the optional Ted talks were must sees for anyone involved in the non-profit sector.It was problematic that there was so little direction with respect to how one might access the required reading materials that were not linked into the course syllabus. In fact, one of the links provided simply directed the learners to a youtube video, extolling the virtues of the book wherein the required chapter was located. Another blatant colleague marketing technique occurred during the course of one of the required videos wherein the organizer interviewed an author about his book. (There was some helpful substantive information that came out of that interview, but for the most part, I felt as though I was watching an infomercial.) Requests for help fell on deaf ears, except for those of co-learners.A small, but annoying, flaw was that the professors were simply reading text from their slides, for the video component of the course--with an additional word thrown in, on occasion, for good measure. It would have been less distracting just to have the slides to read.I wish this course had been designed and taught to the standards I have come to expect from Coursera courses. It could have been one of the most valuable yet.

Nice idea, but too many technical difficulties. I tried to complete quiz 4 nine times and eventually passed the deadline. And in order to submit my final assignment I had to embedded my images into a word doc and export it as a PDF... I wont get extra marks for being able to work THAT out! ; )I did enjoy the rest of the course though. Thanks for all your efforts.

Absolutely phenomenal. I have a different perspective on how I see myself, how I perceive the world and everything around me after taking this class. I highly recommend that if you have no idea what mindfulness is or if you think that you do, take the course and receive or add more value.

This Course is a total scam. In doubt? Sign up for the free version and go watch the videos. Each video is only 1-2 minutes long, so you can watch all 7 weeks in half an hour ( speed 1.5). O, I forgot they also include a link to a 4 years old TED talk, FUn but not really relevant.This course is a disgrace to Coursera. It ought to be removed.

The course itself is wonderful,very instructive, well organized, and easy to understand. My only complaint is that it is too simple. That being said, this course is the fundamental of the fundamental of python. Mastering this sole course is far below enough to wield python as a powerful data analyzing tool. Also, I think even though this is designed to be an intro course, for people like me who is a total rookie in the world of computer science, it should have mentioned, at least touched upon a little of what is algorithm, because there is no way we wont come across various algorithms in the future of learning computer science. I just think itd be good to have a heads-up.

I am extremely happy to have participated in this course. Kudos to Prof. Raj and ISB Team for addressing a fundamental human concern. I am sure that this course will continue to help lots of people clear up misconceptions on Happiness and live a Life of Fulfillment. It certainly helped me a lot. Thank you Prof. Raj, ISB and Coursera

Very intensive course, definitely very well detailed and thorough. The tests often rely on paying attention to the smallest details of the lecture, which while frustrating, forces you to learn. Its one of the hardest courses on here, but also the most rewarding when you finish it.

Super! I did not expect the level of engagement needed to complete the course and it was a very pleasant surprise!Being a layman in the 3D printing revolution, this course really expanded my views on 3D printing.

Thank you for the course!I refreshed something I had learned by myself before, learned some absolutely new stuff and learned some more about things I only heard about before. Videos are very nice and the text is super easy to understand and the teachers voice is very appealing. There are two things that I want to notice. First of all, I would like this course to be more informative. All weekly videos and tasks can be watched and done in one day now. Give us more videos, more information, lets go deeper! The second thing is that peer reviews seemed ineffective to me. Yeah, on the one hand, thats a real feedback from real people who are not your parents or friends so you can be judged objectively. On the other hand, Id want to know teachers opinion, I mean, feedback from someone who has a great experience in design. Personally, I didnt get anything but good marks and good words from my peers, though I believe there are things to improve, I just need someone who can point at them.

I am taking all courses in the specialization, and this is my fourth. I have been having a great time with materials by both instructors so far, until I came to week 5 of this course.Despite repeated viewing, my understanding of LDA is non-existent. The first section is fine, but starting from Bayesian inference via Gibbs sampling, for me at least, the method of instruction has gone off a cliff.I strongly suggest soliciting feedback from learners that narrowly targets the material of this week 5 to determine if its just me or if this is a wider problem. If it is the latter, perhaps it is time to redesign the lessons of this week.

It was good but I would really appreciate it if MVC was tackled in more detail. Also, I wish there was a video about UICollectionView. There were materials online about it but none of them was helpful for this this courses project.It was also a bit confusing to follow some sequence. Some codes were added then removed then added again. The explanation was sometimes confusing too.

Poor video editing. Homework assignments were poorly written making it difficult to know exactly what was being graded. Often times I had to submit a version and redo it after I started working through the grading criteria during peer review.Decent information covered, however I felt like this was more of a course on responsive design than specifically information design.

The course provided a solid, clear, and friendly introduction to the basics of speaking & understanding spoken Mandarin, as well as to how Mandarin is written in the Roman alphabet. Vocabulary and grammar points were introduced at a pace that was never too overwhelming. Id have liked the quizzes to be based on listening to a dialogue or watching a video and then testing comprehension, rather than just on vocabulary. But on the whole, I was pleased. It was exciting, right as the course was ending, to see that I could have a tiny conversation of the Do you like autumn? and We are taking the subway to school variety with a Chinese colleague.

Thouhg Im only 15,but Professor still make it easily to understand.Its great to learn such a course.

No technical support is provided for VM issues.

The content of the course was really interesting and made me think about things I didnt think of before. However, I found the layout of this course really confusing. It would be better if there was no division per week, but just a list of mandatory things and a list of optional things.

Excellent class! I recommend it to anyone trying to learn programming. Dr. Chuck is a wonderful teacher. The class progresses at a nice comfortable pace. His lectures and code examples are thorough and informative. He takes the mystery out of programming and gives you the tools to make you feel like learning to code is attainable. Thank you Dr. Chuck and Coursera!

Shame on you University of Houston SystemI did the first three lessons, which are less than average, then went on to quiz 1, after completion, a window appeared to ask me for money to get my results! This information should have been provided when I enrolled! I find that very mis leading.

The video lectures provide a clear and concise introduction to interesting topics in machine learning (ML). However, the exercises are very general and use black box ML algorithms for most of the solutions. For me, the exercise structure was more confusing than educating. I am aware that this is the intro course to the specialization, and I am looking forward to actually building the algorithms in the future courses. Too bad you can only take the entire specialization over the course of ~6 months, and not at your own pace! Especially since the homework is checked automatically.

a great course to start with, it is very simple and helpful i really enjoyed it alot, Dr. Charles makes everything easy and fun, you will get to apply after each chapter that way you will improve alot and there is also Bonus videos which i found so amazing because you get to know about new stuff but still related to programming.

quite challenging, high paced lectures. It seems like an easy course because the lectures are quite brief, but make no mistake, there is no repeating of concepts or endless bla bla. To succeed in the assignments one is very likely to watch lectures again. Without any previous knowledge in this subject it is almost impossible to grasp everything by just watching the videos due to the new vocabulary and the information density. The assignments definetly take more time than indicated.

overall: some weeks were fun, some notin some weeks are too many chapters and exercises. I actually think that the exercises are too complicated compared to the examples in the chapters. Sometimes are the explanations in the chapters not sufficient.It would be helpful to know the name of a proof e.g. Perchs Law or law of (the) excluded middle. This would help to find more information and help.

When I signed up for this course I had already taken a years worth of Java classes and was quite well prepared. My overall opinion of the course is that it was really good and the instructors did a good job by presenting clear videos of some beginning - intermediate level concepts. I especially liked Christines and Mias presentations. The videos on memory models were really great and helped me a lot. The assignments were really interesting too as they collected and mapped real time data of earthquakes onto a map, but some of the external libraries being used in UnfoldingMaps could have been explained a little better as to what their implementations were. In the beginning it was a little confusing trying to figure out the superclasses even though the Javadocs for them were available. I also felt that the Interaction Design Lab in Germany - the folks who implemented the UnfoldingMaps could have made the Javadocs of their classes a little more detailed. Further explanation of how to use the classes built into the course would have been very helpful. Hence the 4/5 stars given. But overall I really enjoyed the class and am really looking forward to the second class in the sequence. Well done!

A little touch on the basic concepts and a detailed step by step tutorial on applying ML using python packages, this could serve as a good complement to the beloved Stanford ML course on Coursera. For someone who is just getting started with Python, I think this course would be significantly more useful if the packages used are pandas and scikit-learn, since those are more heavily adopted in the industry. The course is well organized and the programming examples are fun. This is a great introduction course to ML and I do expect highly of the subsequent courses in this specialization.

I am totally new in this new HTML language, CSS and Java Script. I like the quality of the information provided in the videos. For a new student like me this is really useful but still, I am not able to cope with the speed of the course. But still, the information is good and I am going to continue until the end. Thanks!

The course is awsome to get motivation and quite informative. However it teaches lot of practical concepts using Tableau which is a commercial software.Since these concepts entirely new to me. It take me a lot of time to understand videos and still Im afraid Ill forget the things as soon as I leave it. I think some more practical activities should be introduce (on free platforms), to make knowledge more sustainable.

The course was well designed. I liked the structure of the course. Due to my procrastination problem, I enroll for the coursera courses now and then, but middle of the session I drop out from each of the course. This is the first in Coursera that retained my interest to finish the course. I loved the concept of Pomodoro, Chunking techniques that have been taught in this course. Im looking forward to apply these techniques not only in my professional career but also in my life-long learning process. Happy learning everyone!

Very professionally created! The topics are clearly presented and learning is made interesting with creative assignments. Ive learned a lot of useful knowledge and skills from this course that I can implement in my work as a teacher. I would recommend the course to anyone who cares about professional development. Thank you :)
