The course content is very good and is must have if you missed that stuff in colledge. It teaches of algorithmic analysis so you know which algorithm is more efficient, gives some examples of cool techniques and provides challenges to apply those techniques.However, there are things that I hate about this course. First of all this is about forums. They are broken down into sessions and there are too little people on each session. Staff provides exactly zero help. If you are stuck, you have no hope on these forums and will need to find help somewhere else.Programming assignments are great, they are relevant, interesting, challenging and the automatic grader system estimates not only if we get the correct answer but also the efficiency of our algorithm. There have been some problems in divide and conquer section though. Ive been struggling with implementing binary search (which is quite a simple algorithm!) in JavaScript to pass the assignment for weeks. Ive written and rewritten it in different ways, done hundreds of manual and automated tests, posted on course forums (receiving zero answers) and have gotten the same error again and again. I was able to solve this only by switching to Python. I am quite sure there is a mistake in the test case, which cost me hours and hours. Overall, the programming assignments are very time consuming and lack of support and not showing test cases make things worse.I do not like that we cannot see the test case where our program fails. Perhaps, if you could figure out a test case that might fail in your program that would make you a better programmer but I felt more like it was wasting of our time. The main thing is to analyze the test case that fails and understand why, it will bring the same result without wasting time and feeding anger,Some lecturers have a strong Russian accent, that is very distracting. It is not a lot of work to take some English pronunciation training before making a course, isnt it?Overall, I enrolled for the specialization and planned to buy it in full but bought only this course to start with. Now I am glad I did that because now I am not sure about buying the other courses and will look somewhere else first.Anyway, the creators of the course have done a great job, which is highly appreciated. I believe you can make this course much better by fixing the issues I pointed above. | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
I really liked the practical orientation of the class : despite being rather short you get to learn about real world applications.Professor Ng did an amazing job on his programming assignments as well : the problems are encapsulated in a framework that effectively hides the low level / checking routines to let us code the logic. If you want to push it further, the whole code is available too.An obvious recommendation :) | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Because I was born and raised in the South, I enjoy courses that expound my knowledge of southern culture. This is an excellent course and I am enjoying Dr. Ferris lectures. It brings to mind my memories of early childhood experiences (the good and the bad) that have shaped the national and international consciousness. I state that because I lived in Atlanta, GA during the Civil Rights Era and I wear my southern style with pride, no matter where I travel. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

The course is supposed to be very informative. It is in fact. But after I spend hours raising my intellectual level trying to understand what theyre talking about, I still have no idea what is the purpose of the meditation.Or rather I have it, but from another source, from a person whos been practicing it for 20 years. In 10 minutes I was given a crystal clear and logical answer on what is was all about. Unfortunately this course doesnt give this answer. It will rather improve your skill of understanding highly intellectual texts and will show you some interesting stuff about the brain. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
An interesting course both from astronomical and architectural point of view. For me as an architect and amateur astronomer it was a pleasure watching the lectures in this course and learning some new interesting facts about ancient architects-astronomers. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
I have loved this course. Very interesting, informative, intellectually honest and rigorously taught; entertaining, as well. I am grateful for this opportunity. A dilettante in the study of history, I have been delighted to discover the many ways in which this study of magic in the Middle Ages has opened so many doors to a broader understanding of the forces at play in the human experience. Sincerest thanks! | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
This course wasnt the most riveting course in the world however it did help me to further my understanding of chemistry. Most of the topics had already been taught to me at school but considering I go to an English school, the ability to approach something from an American point of view was a new experience. This was definitely a useful, informative course which has allowed me to approach content from a new perspective. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
i kept expecting the colonel to pop around saying no, no, stop that! its silly!. :Dthis course was tons of fun and the lecturer is suitably goofy with his examples. i loved the randomness and learned quite a bit. if youre thinking about game development, but youre not sure where to start, then give this a go. its an entry-level course and there is a lot of lessons on c# programming... which is 95% of the course. if you know c#, then the lessons dealing with the fundamentals of c# programming might feel a bit tedious, but the examples are fun, so you wont mind learning about these things again.i liked this course. you can see he enjoys what he does, which makes you enjoy it as well and helps you learn more. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
I thoroughly enjoy every lecture. I am aware generally of the history of this time frame from past classes and readings. I especially appreciate the why or rational behind the historical events that the professor provides. I am in my mid seventies, enjoyed history classes in college and leisure reading of history over the past 50 years. This class as well as several others available thru the coursera.org program have renewed my enthusiasm for learning. Thank you. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
He teaches even worse then me. This course has no practical example. Its just introduction(from start to end).When I enrolled in this course I was expecting that at the end of this course I will be able to develop an app or anything like that.

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.Ive 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 im not a complete novice to programming, this course had the Goldilocks Effect for me.Just right :D | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Thank you very much, this course was very helpful for me, I finished my university studies and I had to leave my country because of the war and I could not continue my caree in the new country , this course showed me that it did not stop at this point and I can follow up and even learn the field complitly different, also gave me a lot of tips that will help in learning a new language (and this is something I need for now). thanks again | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The subject of the course is very interesting. Lectures are very engaging and professors do a great job explaining abstract concepts. On the other hand, assignments are extremely difficult and frustrating. The lack of feedback for the assignments leaves you with important knowledge gaps and thats a serious flaw for a course that offers so much most of the time. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
After finishing week one I am inclined to say that the course is compared to other courses labour intensive. The content is consistent, well structured and up to the point. However, the level of English of nearly all speakers is more than poor. Most of the lectures are read of the paper. The subtitles do not help to mitigate misunderstandings resulting from the poor language. Instead, it magnifies the problem (e.g. naming the PISA-test as pizza). Also the power-point slides hold many mistakes, e.g. in the formatting. Even the quiz questions are not free of mistakes and are misleading or grammatically incorrect or even hold incomplete sentences. Very annoying. Overall, the finalizing of the course was not done with due diligence. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
This is an excellent course for the starters to get holistic insight on the niche world of Machine Learning.It is also a revisit to the notebook where you will spent time in evaluating truth tables and drawing planes to derive answer for assessment questions, a refreshing change from the regular work.I am sure in-detail sessions/courses following this foundation course would definitely be of great learning and look forward to be part of those sessions and get enlightened on the new disruptive technological milestones.Thanks,Vaibhav | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Fantastic course! I am new on graph algorithms and this course totally mesmerized me. The course material is just right for me , neither too difficult nor too easy. And the programming task is challenging and I like the way the test cases not shown to us because it pushed me to think of strange or rare case on which my program may fail. I really learned a lot from this course! Thanks to the instructors! | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

The course material and videos are very good, however I would prefer that comments about your work be emailed directly to the student so that they are more likely to read them. I found it to easy to just move on and not really look for the comments on my work. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
This is the worst course I have ever seen in my life, Im aint lying these guys use the terms which they havent thought and they use it so frequently as if they have thought it, One who were teaching may be industrial experts and have lots of experience, but one thing to note is:Teaching is an art... | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
The lectures are much better than Module 1 BUT still too thin on information required to complete the final assignment. I probably spent 30 hours in all completing the assignment because I had to spend so much time looking up material that was not covered in the lectures. A lot of my time got wasted since it is very difficult to figure out the syntax/structure of the language from the very skimpy lectures &/or the very technical Apple documentation.Also, not ONCE did the instructors participate or respond to the forum discussion so it was not a surprise that the forum was barely used at all.I am stuck with soldiering on with the next 2 modules since I pre-paid for the specialisation but really I am very disappointed with what I am getting for a paid course. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Definitely my favourite course so far from whole RoR specialisation! For such a short time course is packed with everything you need and hints where to search for more knowledge. Oh, and instructor is such a nice and bubbly persona which makes the whole experience even more positive, I wish I had this kind of teachers at my uni back in the day! | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
the good: very well organized course materials. the extremely well thought-out approach to presenting the materials makes the course seem pretty easy. there is so much detail surrounding Rails -- the professors of this course do a commendable job of distilling the lecture material down to the truly most important elements.the bad: i struggled a lot with the automatic grader. i might have spent as much time wrangling and gaming the grader as i did on the assignments themselves. not sure whos at fault on this, but is sure was frustrating. (but i still highly recommend the course.) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Peer reviewed assessment with students who are unsure of the correct answers = unsure if solution is correct.

If possible I would rate a 4.5 out of 5 for this course. The lecturers are very good and comprehensive (compared to all other sources I found in the web) at explaining how cryptocurrencies (especially BTC) work and what the up- and downsides are. The workload for lecture videos is pretty low for each week (1-2h a week) which makes the learning targets pretty easy to achieve in the proposed time. I found the programming assignments quite difficult when beginning with each one, since one needs to read and understand (most) of several hundred lines of starter code and also needs to understand the task setting which uses a somewhat different terminology than used in the lectures. Also for assignment 1 and 3 there is no simple test code provided to at least partially test your code submission candidates. That makes it hard to debug in case of small logical errors that cannot be detected by the compiler but probably break the complete solution and result in a very low score. I had no experience in Java programming before the start of this course but with a one day crash course of Java for Python programmers I managed to complete all assignments in time (and learn at least the basic principles of Java, which is nice for itself). Each assignment is expected to take 3h by the creators of the course. The come up with a high score (not just passing) I needed to invest about 5-9 hours for each assignment which is probably but not exclusively due to the little knowledge of Java. Nevertheless I would encourage the creators of this course to use Python assignments for future courses since this would make prototyping a lot easier (due to its interactivity) and attract more students without having real downsides (at least to my knowledge). All in all I really enjoyed this course and would like to thank all lecturers and the Princeton University for making this course accessibly free of charge for everybody. Thanks a lot! | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Although the course is requiring some time to spend on to benefit from, the topics covered are very well introduced with accurate examples and explanations to understand the practical side of this topic.Also, the programming assignments where really challenging while kept in line with the material provided during the classes.I definitely suggest this course to anyone interested in covering the basic and the most advanced topics in machine learning, having said that it still remain an introductory course to ML.Thanks a lot for the fun I had and the huge amount of new things I learned. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
If you choose to follow this course, you will have to invest a lot of time. There are few videos, but you will go through a lot of exercises that will make you learn (or recall, like in my case) SQL in a very effective way. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

It was good to get to work on an individual project at the end of the specialization. The requirements for the capstone were unclear as the videos present a huge project compared to the 4 weeks, 3-5 hours per week commitment indicated for this capstone and there is talk of self-sustainability for the solution etc. that ultimately is not in the review criteria.Applying common sense and scoping the project to the commitment does work out to a good learning by doing experience. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Unfortunetly I can only give a 3/5. There were more things that I didnt like and think that should be improved.What I liked: Positive to see Illinois keep presenting specializations on Coursera. The material was ok, with clean presentation style. The case studies is a very positive resource to have in the course to think critically.What I didnt like: The course is excessivelly short, with only 30-40 minutes of videos per module. Previous courses in both specialization - digital marketing and improving videos have at least 1.5 to 3 hours of video materials. A huge gap. Also if I benchmark against the top specializations from Wharton and U. Michigan (Business Foundations, Business Analytics, Leading People and Teams and Finance: Valuation and Investing) all of them pack a 1.5 to 3 hours of video lectures. There is a huge gap. Also I didnt found the quizzes challeging. In a digital world content is king - both in quality and quantity. You have quality, but are missing the quantity. Unfortunetly I see a trend - the other course of the managerial economics specialization also is very short. A minor thing that I also didnt like was the form that the slides were presented. As in previous specializations - in my opinion all of the module slides should be in the readings section in only one document, instead of divided in small pieces per video lecture.I hope that yu accept my critic as constructive because I have liked most of Illinois courses and was very impressed by the quality and extensive set of videos in the Improving Business speciaization. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
Great course! This is the first MOOC that Ive completed and I had a great experience overall. The CDS system is what drew me toward this particular chemistry course and it seems like an effective and natural way to have concepts stick in your head. Very clear and easy to understand explanations are also given in the lecture videos.My only complaints are that there are some significant typos in the quizzes, and all of the course material seems to refer to a different version of the online textbook than the one that is currently provided. If the quality of the quizzes was better and if the course was more in sync with the most up-to-date reading material I would have easily given this course 5 stars. | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Important concepts like tasks, walkthrough scenarios, use cases, and personas are very well explained with good examples helping to understand the differences. There were methods like the quantitative analysis and ideation that I have not come across in 15 years of my professional life as a software developer - so there is certainly still a message to be spread. Questions are presented within the videos to make sure you are keeping track. A lot of hints for further reading are given. Great learning material!There are two minor points I would like to mention although they do in no way make me downrate the course. The part on the quantitative analysis I found a little too shallow and short - but on the other hand, these methods are more common and easily accessable in statistics courses and books. The ideation assignment I found a little hard - to come up with 100 ideas alone, not in a team which the method is designed for. On the other hand, it helped experience that the method works as I could come up with several really different ideas for the given problem. | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
I once had a boyfriend who said my mind was like an encyclopedia that had come free from its binding. To some extent thats true, and it makes me, I think, fun to drink with. I think the Prof of this course would be super fun to drink with, too. I can only imagine the directions the conversation would careen, how many diversions and reversions and tangents we would go on. In terms of instruction, though, I find it rather exhausting. First were talking about Ottoman reforms, then a diversion into Goethe (or some other dour Teutonic thinker) then a tangent into- but well cover that in another video so in 1924, but if you read Letranger.... Ive taken to listening to the lectures while doing something else, and then parsing the transcripts, trying to tease out some sort of linear narrative for my notes and its just so effortful and time-consuming. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
This has been a fun course. The length of it is ideal. Its long enough to think Ive learned something, but short enough that Im not bored or dreading it. I definitely spent at least 10-15 hours a week on it. I had to read most of the relevant text book sections (the free, online one) to do the homework. Results may vary. Im not sure how intense this is compared to an actual college course. My guess would be about half as intense, but it would definitely prepare you to breeze right through such a course. I took it out of genuine interest and I might use it in my current career. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

The course material was interesting, but the TOTAL lack of support forces me to give it only one star. I left the following complaint in the general forum for this course 2 months ago. Neither Coursera, the instructor or any moderator ever responded. Many people were not able to run the software supplied in the course because of bugs, but the solution was left to the student. I have taken good courses on line before, but this is not one of them.It seems that the Dr. Tucker Balch and/or the moderators have totally abandoned this course, but Coursera keeps offering it and collecting money.The neither instructor or nor the moderators have posted on the Meet and Greet Forum.The instructor and/or moderators have ANSWERED NO QUESTIONS posted on ANY forum.The QSTK (software) BUGS have NOT BEEN ADDRESSED by the instructor or the moderators. Only students have answered these forum questions.Computational Investing Part II is coming shortly. That is what they said 3 years ago. Further evidence of abandonment. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
The course content was very interesting, however, the way it was presented was very dull and monotonous. The script was great - very insightful and informative, but having the presenter talk for the whole lecture without more frequent use of diagrams, figures, etc. to help understand the concepts is not helpful and incomprehensible to me. Specially when it comes to a course with so much geographical content, it would be good to have a more consistent depiction of maps. Furthermore, with all the new concepts, visual aid would help students understand what things are and what they look like since the backgrounds chosen for the lectures have little or nothing to do with the course whatsoever.On the other hand, I do think that the questions throughout the videos are extremely useful as they (usually) tackle problems that were not mentioned previously and gets the student to think independently. Finally, the end of lesson tests always have one or two challenging questions which is great. This course has a 5 star potential, so I hope the reviews are being read so they can work towards that goal! | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Of many things that life is about,it surely is about learning.This course is a must;no matter what discipline you are majorly from.It will help you to become a more efficient learner given that you work on the concepts,techniques mentioned.The way it has been presented only makes it more interesting,with humour,animations and interesting things.I enjoyed it very much.Do give it a try!! | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

While there were many typos in screenshots and code examples, this course has been a tremendous help to me as I reinforced some things I already knew about JavaScript and learned new concepts about the JavaScript language (like coding in events or working with the DOM).

Despite being a very interesting topic, I did not find this course as enjoyable as others I have done. Maybe covering these many amount of things in such a short course is too challenging.

The good: This course really shows how to code in the right way both syntax and semantics, so the theory is covered better than in other courses. There are good explanations on how to host your site, whch is not less important than learning coding.The bad: More examples and practice are needed, its hard to get everything so quickly. I had some initial background so i handeld that ok, but for total newbies it might be too frustrating. The final assignment should be changed imo to peer review, the quiz is not the right way to do it imo.Thanks, learned alot. | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

I enjoyed this course and learning, specifically how to adapt a healthier diet and the evolution of food in the US. The videos were interesting and the information was insightful and applicable to daily life. The only thing I might change in the course is having the professor incorporate definitions to some of the terms (i.e. nutrient dense, , metabolic abnormalities) in the videos, or as a supplemental document.I would recommend this course to others. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Great course! One sugestão I have is to teaching how to use FileResource,URLResource, DirectoryResource, Pixel, ImageResource, etc, without using the edu.duke, because in the real word we don’t use this library. I know this library can facilitate the coding, but when the students use another IDE, they will not can do the same coding as they used on course. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
I loved that this course offered WRITTEN and VIDEO lessons. I find it difficult to learn by just watching a video. By doing some of the learning by reading and re-reading, I absorbed more.Quizes are also another modality that works well. Quick to do, easy to score, inexpensive to administer, both teacher and learner can assess student learning very quickly.I wish all Coursera programs included more than one methodology for learning. Video is fine, but it isnt the best for everyone, and it isnt the only way to teach things. Many Coursera program rely too heavily on video as their only teaching tool. There are something like 12 or 14 modalities for teaching students. Thank you for using more than one way. I especially liked your reading materials. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

I havent quite completed this course yet (the end is in sight!) but I want to report how challenging and worthwhile it has been. I have had a lot of my questions answered and I am inspired to read and review the content again as I am sure I will understand a lot more. Thank you. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
I was looking for a course that discusses how to think about the data and how to manipulate the data based on the questions you have. This course was more basic and didnt really focus on the many ways of visualizing the data to tell a story. The course did not discuss the pros and cons of each type of visualization (e.g., pie chart vs. line graph vs. column chart etc but of course more complex because we are using tableau) with the type of question and answers you are looking for. This type of content is what I was most interested in. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |

This course was a good use of time for me as I didn’t have much back ground in music theory.I now know how to construct a major and minor scale with any root. I’m also able to use those scales to build a number of chords to help guide improvisation.I found the ear training exercises to be a fun way to develop my musical awareness. I found them a little annoying because when I would go back to try them again my answers from the day before were still there. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
A great course that covers a wide variety of topics in a concise, yet thorough manner. Professor Chang is a hoot! He has a very engaging and entertaining teaching style that makes learning fun! I especially enjoyed the interviews with various professionals in the marketing industry as I felt I learned a great deal from their added observations and expertise. Once you understand Noon Nopi, it will change your perspective on everything! Ive already signed up to take the next course in this series (International Marketing Entry and Execution) and am looking forward to it! | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
I liked it a lot but I didnt´t find helpful the assignments and how they were asked to be corrected. The assignments ask you to list things that were seen during the course but dont´t push the learner to think and look up for further information in the topic. I have also taken Business Strategy also from University of Illinois and, in my opinion, the assignments are very well conducted and the make you think and go beyond the course info.I think this is very important to address it properly because it is when the learner really acquire the knowledge, when he/she has to connect what he/she has learnt with real cases. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |

I have been only into the preview week and the course is amazing. It has given me amazing insights and helped me understand my thinking patterns. Now I understand why my brain thinks the way it thinks. The rest 4 days have been wonderful. I am able to take control of my thought pattern and learn a lot. Looking forward to the complete course.

Quite boring, a lot of propaganda against drugs. Sometimes data is presented in misleading ways to make the harm from drugs look greater. Though if you are new to the topic, you may consider to take the course as it contains some useful information. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Im really fascinated with this course.By the way, i think some quiz have few mistakes as the module about pricing swaptions in the calibration model. The answer the professor gave is not 13300 or 19400, but 1330 or 1940 respectively.The quiz#6, the answer for the question 1 and 2 is multiple, its between a range and i cant complete it, please check the parameters again. | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
I learned a lot from this course. It made me become aware that it takes skills to captures a photo that is compelling and eye engaging.

Thank you so much for the opportunity of learning and improving myself. It has meant a lot personally.Last year I was layoff shortly after giving birth my son in USA, had to repatriate to my home country, and have been unemployed ever since. Became a stay-home mom for the first time in my life, after 13 years of sucesfull career. I needed SO MUCH some brain work, adults time, international environment and also desesperately to fill in the gap in my career.Thank you. I apologize for making it personal, but I thought you would like to know how teaching can postively affect someone else.I dont know if will land a job and advance in my career, or if I will have to almost start over again. Regardless, I am greatfull to you all for bringing some professional meaning to my life during this really hard time.Thank you so much. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
very good course, it gives us the information of the state of the art of deep learning until 2012, also how were neural networks built to being the most important tecnology nowadays.some material and assignements new to be updated, but anyway the experience was awsome, nevertheless to feel good with this course also is needed machine learning pre-concepts, and some calculus, be able to adapt to diferente terminology of kind of topics, becuase the content is very long, but fancy | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Such a great stepping stone to cooking simple and delicious foods. I have been encouraging clean eating gradually with my daughter and she absolutely picks vegetables now that they are presented differently.

Great course! I found it really engaging, and its inspired me to learn more about the topic independently. Professor Ng did a great job of explaining a broad set of topics clearly, with realistic examples, and with enough detail that I feel i could use these techniques in real world problems. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
I am disappointed about this course. I was expecting to learn more in this subject as described on the course info. However, the quality of the lectures is not good at all. I havent found any lecture that present the knowledge as the Ivy league University as Yale. I felt sorry for the students who actually attained this class at Yale campus. The professor was not prepare for the lectures and confused/forgot sometime. I was hoping that the Nobel prize winner would teach something that complicated in the simple way. The questions in the exam ask mostly about year, person, numbers which is not the good exam per my perspective. If you want the have the certificate from Yale, you can take this course. BUT if you want to learn about Financial Markets, I would not recommend this course. Im so sorry. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
The course is a bit disorganized and could have been better. While the topics are really interesting and Geoffrey is really knowledgeable, a lot of simple concepts have been made seemly complicated from the way they have been presented -- often requiring external follow up studies (and often discovering in surprise how simple they actually are). such as, contrastive divergence (CD1) algorithm to train Restricted Bolazamann Machine (read wikipedia to get it in under 2 mins), functioning of sigmoid belief net etc. I believe, the issue arises from slides based teaching, where a slide of texts is presented and then there is a long monologue of how that system works from start to end. A more useful approach would have been to actually draw-and-talk (good example of such courses are Machine Learning by Andrew Ng, Game Theory (esp. Kevin Leyton-Brown parts). Nonetheless, the course brings forth a lot of Neural Net topics and is definitely worth taking if you are willing to study outside the course also. | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Thank you to Dr. OBrien and Dr. St. Leger for an excellent course: solid information delivered clearly and intelligently. As the course moved along I found myself binge-watching! I must have finished all 7 weeks in record time-- like a good book, I could not put it down. This was an outstanding educational experience. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Great exercises. My only complaint is the last 2 weeks, the instructors werent visual enough. They kept using hand gestures and not enough concrete visualizations of some of the steps. There were a lot of concrete visualizations for the big ideas... but not enough for all the different material and intermediary steps they were trying to teach. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Course is overwhelming. How can you put a 30 minute video for a class? Can you divide it or make it simpler? Tutor is not explaning, he only reads; he reads sort of teleprompter and thats it. Boring. Very disappointed. And this is not my first course in Coursera. I feel Im about to quit, and this is the second week... | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Overall this is a really great course.My small criticism: Sometimes I wished for more optional videos containing proofs of the formulas. I often spent all the time watching the videos wondering how we would solve some problem only to be presented with a formula without any explanation where it came from. This is only a small problem because the answer was usually not too hard to find and often even linked in the discussion, but if this information were contained in the course content (e.g. optional videos assuming some linear algebra background), it would be even better. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
This course is helpful and I have learned quite a bit about punctuation and sentence structures.However, while things like tense are important, to be able to differentiate 12 tenses contributes relatively little to typical academic writing. Rather, I have had trouble with seemingly simple questions such as when to use past tense and when to use present tense in a literature review. But these aspects are probably the most useful when it comes to pracital writing. It would be helpful if these issues are addressed.Also, the use of articles is a common weakness for a lot of students (to the or not to the). It is helpful to include this component too. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
It was a fairly good start to learning about Objective-C. A little bit heavy on the theory with not much to break it up at times (maybe a quiz here and there mid video). Also the assignments are not tied in with the theory lectures all that tightly in my opinion. Its almost like doing 2 separate courses at times. Overall, interesting stuff and I am enjoying it. Thanks a million for your efforts, I appreciate the opportunity for some new knowledge. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
A really nice, gentle introduction to the basics of the Python language. I was already familiar with much of it from previous endeavours at learning to code, so managed to get through each week in about an evenings work, but it didnt feel right to jump into the second course straight away. The last programming assignment caused a little bit of head scratching, and re-highlighted the need for careful, precise thinking when writing even short pieces of code. Ive enjoyed this course and will be back for the Data Structures module soon :) | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

A bit too much math in the questions, although it seemed (in the videos) that we could skip it. Im very visually oriented (and also a MENSA member), and I would have explained more with graphics. Or at least not have to much equations in the questions. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
thank u so mach for this course it was simple and pretty good for the first 2 weeks i really enjoyed it :) ; but the other two weeks though ... i had a hard time there , if you try to improve it , the js wasnt understandable at all or at least mention in the course info that js background needed !! | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
