Is not exactly class for the beginners. First half covers HTML and CSS and quite understandable and easy. Although, it might also help that I had class completely on HTML and CSS in the past, so I actually know what to do to write necessary code. The second part is on JavaScript. And here is where problem starts (at least for me). I didnt take JavaScript class in the past and it was all new for me. Professors try to explain it in few lectures 10-15 minutes each and then they expect you to write couple of programs and to make some project from scratch in few days. Sorry, maybe its just me, but I got to have much more then about an hour of explanation to do so. I would highly recommend anyone who is new to JavaScript to take JavaScript class first and then to start this one. And no, Im not new to programming.

I like the structure of the course that different professor is in charge of different chapter but the contents of each chapter are linked to the others. Each chapter offers different topic (of course) but the style and structure are the same. In detail, there are always theoretical and practical part as well as small quizzes in each chapter. In addition, the guideline and syllabus provide students with great details. On top of that, chapter assignments are provided with solution which are necessary for students to check their knowledge.I would love to participate in follow up course which might deal with more advanced topics after this basic one.

I found it to be a good starter course for the field, requiring no previous knowledge of the subject. Some of the matter, though, was overly repetitive, and the closed captions are very inaccurate.Overall, I recommend this course as a basic insight into the field, the material is interesting and well-structured and it was fun to learn about this one specific aspect of neuroscience in detail.

This was my first experience on Coursera, and Im sure now - it is not the last.The course gives you an opportunity to see how the way of your thinking affects your happiness. The patterns you dont notice, which are easy to understand and notice as soon, as you hear about them. No magic, just science. And as a result you can feel happier. And what is most important - you feel happier not because of some metaphysical stuff or because of someone fixing all your problems. You feel happier due to your own conscious actions in you mind, in your way of thinking. You yourself make you feel better. And you can see each step you take.And of course, big thank you to Prof. Raj and his team for creating this course, for systematizing all the information to be easy understandable. And which is even more important - its easy to put in practice.Also Prof. Raj is very nice! And I think he is a trustworthy person : )

Great class, very well constructed. Professors are very knowledgeable and the course materials are well designed. I started from the very beginning of the class knowing very little about python and algorithm, by this class Im pretty comfortable coding in python. And I got to apply what Ive learned in my interview for jobs. Definitely a great class! Learned a lot, and still applying it in my job.

There is a lot of self-teaching with these courses because there are no professors present to reach out to with questions. In addition, the course staff do not always respond promptly nor are they fully knowledgeable about all aspects of error messages that may arise out of coding. At times the code that were provided in the lecture videos were out of date and a lot of time was spent on googling to find the updated code. This is definitely not a beginner coder course and I do not recommend it to anyone who has not coded before.

This course is awesome. As a current research technologist in this field, this course gives me great knowledge of cancer. I recommend anyone who is interested in this field. However, this course by itself wont give you everything. It is a course where you want to begin with if you want to begin a career of this field.

I loved this course! I was really useful and easy to apply the tools to my behaviour and other learning activities immediately. I even shared with my partner and friends all of whom were very surprised and pleased with the results. Though the course material is REALLY interesting, I believe it is the delivery that made it GREAT! Barbara made this learning experience for me truly memorable. She has a gentle clear approach and a warm and encouraging nature. Thank you to everyone involved, but an especially BIG THANK YOU TO BARBARA. You should be very proud at your contribution to learning, I think it will have a massively positive impact on so many people. Well done! I will look out for your future courses.

very poor. even though for the most part I found the videos engaging, the courses overall structure doesnt help to read the novel together, as is stated in the title. the quizes are poorly written, even for me, a native russian speaker, it was often hard to understand the questions, and sometimes its plain guess work on the opinions of the course authors. often a required number of answers to pass a quiz is the same as the total number of questions in that same quiz. the essays topics rarely correspond with the actual reading of the book. for the very first week the essay required knowledge of the book that hasnt been read yet by the participants. or it should be stated that one needs to read the book prior to taking the course. then again that would require the change of the courses name.

I found the content and the presenters much less engaging than in Developing Innovative Ideas for New Companies: The First Step in Entrepreneurship. The exams were so easy that I could pass them at 100% without watching most of the videos. I really dont have the feeling that I learned much that would help me in getting From Idea to Marketplace. Overall disappointing for a paid course.

Update: As I proceed to wk 5, I know why there are some complaint on Dynamic programming,Reduced to 2 stars. Lectures are totally useless for the assignment,The course is really good until week 4 when it deteriorates very quick. No matter how many times I re-watch the lecture, I cant understand much. I ended up using wikipedia for the quiz instead :PI cant use much of the course forum since there are too many posts there and it keep crashing my chrome.This course gets my 3 stars from the first 3 weeks alone, otherwise it gonna be 0-2 stars.

In my opinion, this course is a waste of time, it simply throws a bunch of links and terminology for you to google and research. The project is interesting but once again, you have to do tons of research and take up other courses to fill the gaps (might as well do the other courses instead of this one).I do not recommend this course or the specialization.

This is my very first course on Coursera. I benefitted from it tremendously. Really appreciate the teaching, the material and design of the course. I have a lot more to say in details but just dont want to waste your time here. Please go ahead and check it out yourself.I am in my 50s and facing memory loss and shortened focus as few of many other challenges in life. This course is greatly helpful.Happy learning! :-)

A good introduction to big data (last time I was working with it was in the 1990s when a few 10s of MB was a huge dataset!). Slightly let down by the forums, despite loads of mentors there seems to be almost no presence of the teaching staff beyond setting up a few posts to spark discussion which in reality just prompt short responses and no replies.

I really enjoyed the coursework for this class. In particular, I loved how challenging some of the assignments were. However, I do hate that I cannot submit final quiz answers without paying for the course. I also did not like how little help there seemed to be offered to some individuals on the forum regarding issues they were facing with their code (specifically with the GeneFinder project).I took three of the courses from Michigan on working with Python and they were completely open to complete without payment (which means you opt not to get a verified certificate). I wish that this course, and the specialization that it is part of, fell into the same category.

First certificate obtained! This is a rich course where we can learn theory and get to know the industry. The course provides guest speaker videos, detailed lecture notes, and other forms of interactive learning. Although the lecturers have an Italian accent, it does not hurt at all. Thank you so much! Suggestion: 1. making assignments a little bit more challenging, so students could have a deeper thought about the topics; 2. the final quiz could be an essay or branding/marketing plan.

Excellent course, 2016 is going to be a very challenging year form me as I have to perform in new role in my job. And I have enrolled in a one full year course. As I have limited time, I need use my time effectively with better learning techniques. 100% satisfied, I will highly recommend this course to every one as learning is every day job.Now I am doing physical exercise every day, preparing task lists and more importantly I am using spaced recitation.Thanks to trainers and the Coursera team. Great job!!!

I like this course. It is simple and easy to understand. I would say it is an easy-going type of course. The Conversation ,one of the most important exercises , was hard to do because my partner did not have a good knowledge of english. I did not enjoy it much. I think in this type of course where you need to collaborate with others it necessary to test their level of english beforehand so that none has trouble with that. I just wish it was more informative and with more examples. Lack of good examples or situations is the reason why I give this course only 4 stars. But the professor was great and inspirational.Thanks for this course.

Presenters start off kind of silly and made me wonder what I was getting into. However this class quickly evolved to be 100 times better than the course offered by U of California on Big Data. You do actual python programming through a lot of serious concepts in data analysis, visualization, and machine learning. This first course is hands on - just use the libraries. They lean heavily towards Dato which is not open source - using a 1 year trial license. However there are better instructions and support for open source in subsequent courses. Also - the second course in the series which Im taking now is taking what we did in course 1 and diving into the math and algorithms involved - walking through actual proofs etc. It doesnt require you to know them well enough to do on your own, but they do walk you through them and explain extremely well - you actually implement the resulting algorithms. Im fascinated by this course and cant wait to apply what Ive learned.

I am from a non liberal arts background, trying to learn more about philosophy and politics. I was a little apprehensive about taking this course because I feared I will not understand much but the way Professor Shapiro teaches, I have barely enjoyed studying the way I have enjoyed this course, the fact that I am finishing this course a month in advance is a testament to it.Cheers!

I loved the process of branding from start to finish, including company/client. Although, I may not always be able to brand a company I make up, the process was very thorough and I believe will help me in future branding opportunities. In this sense, the class was invaluable! The instruction was very clear and interesting and the help of the class aid, Calvin, made this a great experience! I also loved seeing what others were coming up with and how they applied the principles of design learned in the other courses in this specialization.

I enjoyed this course but I was not satisfied with the assessment.The content kept me engaged and highly motivated. I acquired some very specific and useful skills, which I developed by completing projects on topics of my choosing that were meaningful to me. I really liked Karls casual and somewhat spontaneous style - this is a breath of fresh air from the video tutorials out there where lecturers are reading from prompts or reciting from memory.The biggest drawback to this course is that it relied completely on peer grading for the assessment (which you have to pay for). I dont think this assessment method was sufficiently designed to reduce the influence of graders who were overly subjective, hadnt sufficiently mastered the content themselves, or were disinterested in putting effort into the peer review. From now on, I will think twice about paying for any course where all of the assessment is based on how my classmates grade me. While peer review can be useful for learning, I dont think its an accurate assessment tool. Especially if Im paying to learn from a professional in a field, Id expect to receive some feedback and assessment from that pro.Another area of improvement is that there were several instances where videos repeated things covered in previous videos. These things could be cleaned up a bit and the course would be more polished.

Took some off from work in December and could complete it in 10 days. it was awesome experience specially the coding exercises. Hats off to #Andrew and #coursera for the course, I think even for people who are working in industry this should help to refresh the concepts. Looking forward to more advanced and recognized course from Andrew and Stanford and Coursera.

Before I began this course, I had only a very general knowledge of Buddhist meditation. After going through a number of lessons, I realized I really knew less than I thought. I had only been attracted to the Buddhist world encountered in readings and travels. For many years, it was something that I wanted to know more about. So I appreciate having access to this course.Classification and organization of detailed and complex material is well organized. Great work amassing and presenting knowledge of contemplative practices.I feel there was some repetition or redundancy, but in my case that was not necessarily a bad thing, other than to add to the mass of information being delivered. The repetition helped to stabilize my memory and helped to establish a baseline of concepts from which to build my understanding.I became mired in detail, but absorbed as much as I could in lieu of being able to recall consciously specific pieces of information. I dont want to judge the presenters by suggesting that they tried to put too much information into too little of a space. I found my efforts to absorb the info meditative in nature, thus I welcomed the challenge.The videos of presenters reading texts of detailed and dense info was difficult to follow at times, but I discovered that it helps, in some cases, to download the script of the talks and follow along with the video as I read the script.The focus on history and historical debates and conflicts between shamatha and vipassana practices, etc., within Buddhism were helpful but not as key as the meditation practices. I suppose it is difficult to separate them since they are so entwined.I have learned a lot more than I ever expected when I began this course.I value discussions and sharing among students, but the course is so dense and time consuming that I had no time left to participate in sharing with others. Not to devalue the info itself, which is fantastic.

This is the first course Ive ever taken in an economics subject and it was a great introduction to the field. The presentations and delivery are clear and illustrative, and the different concepts are reinforced throughout the different modules. Dr Navarro explains difficult and complex information in a way that makes it easy for a beginner like myself to understand, relating it to real life examples, and drawing on key historical events and figures. Im greatly looking forward to starting The Power of Macroeconomics with UCI and would highly recommend these courses to anyone interested in the subject.

This course was excellent. I was exposed to many sonatas I was not familiar with before this class. Jonathan Biss is a great musician and did a great job of highlighting the key points of the sonatas presented. I would like to see him cover another composer.

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.

It was much more complete, diverse and time-consuming than expected. The quality of the teachings was inequal in my humble opinion. I found Pr.Germano a bit stiff in his teaching and it was very hard for me to follow his classes. Other teachers were great though.

Really good Course if you have the time to follow all the workshops and assignments, because they take quite a lot of time to complete, so allocate some extra time so you can learn properly, the good thing is that at the end you will have a solid understanding of SQL, Query’s and how to mine data for answers. Highly recommended for SQL starters.

Its an amazing course to provide an insight to international taxation, one of my favorite subjects to study. The only suggestion would be to make the video lecture a slight longer and in depth about topics. Otherwise its an amazing course. Hopefully one day ill b able to study in the university itself.

I found this course to be dry. No practical examples. Just information presentation, like reading from a book. The lectures do not prepare you very well for the Quizzes and even less for the assignments. This is the only course in Coursera that really got me disappointed. Since there are not many students in this course one might feel a bit left alone.

This is a great course. My only concern is that it goes slow at times and it feels like topics are being discussed repeatedly. I would rather have the wiki lecture notes prominently displayed for my reference rather than having to watch very nuanced lecture videos because I sit through a lot of uneccessary video out of concern that I will miss something important.

Excellent resource for getting up to speed with some of the challenges that the accountancy profession is faced with. I do however feel that this course and the accountancy profession as a whole needs to the consider the repercussions of rapid technological advancement and how these would impact the profession as a whole. The Accountants of tomorrow will need to be able to delegate the mundance daily tasks associated with financial accounting and bookkeeping etc. and be able to think and act more like business people. The course should also look into this aspect.

My suggestions:** videos: pace is way too fast, and without much visuals and a clear structure/plan, hard to fully grab in one view. I dont think your 5mn max duration really makes sense. When the content is of interest, better to make it longer to improve clarity. Positive: you provide written/text versions of your videos.** support documents: way too many and not always relevant** quizzes: i dont think that asking us the name of a founder etc. really test anything about our understanding of our lesson. Too many irrelevant questions.All in all, it seems you applied one of the rules you discuss in this course: release fast, and adjust later on based on customers feedback.. Unsure this is the right approach when it comes to online learning. I had higher expectations vs. Mines Telecom.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Chris for allowing me to do this amazing course. I love the enthusiasm that he has whenever he is discussing different topics. I absolutely loved doing this course and just wish that there was a more in-depth course which followed The Horse Course. I would recommend this course to everyone wishing to learn more about horses and donkeys. Thank you again!

This course is my first encouter with programming and I really enjoy it. The lecturers way of explanation is very clear and simple. I did not expect to become so interested in it, however, learning Python turned out to be a fresh and great experience. Thanks to Dr Chuck it is real fun to learn Python. You can get through this course even if you think you are not very good at mathemathics (personal experience). I recommend this course to everybody who is interested in beginning their adventure with programming.

The course is great. Although it is really fast and requires some advanced understanding of algebra and statistics, it is not bad. However, I would reccommend to expand it and to include the advances in non-manipulative causation, as sustained by proff. J. Pearl and F. Squazzoni (specifically talking about sociology).

This course was incredibly interesting and informative, even for an introduction class. The layout made a lot of sense even for someone with only a little bit of experience in typography. Definitely do all of the assignments because they have been planned out with a lot of care and thought to further your understanding in the topic.

This course is an amazing course. I have completed around 4 weeks of material. The concepts are covered both top-down and bottom-up. The instructor really adds value with every video.To improve this course, I would recommend covering more topics and make the assignments a bit harder. At least towards the end of each assignment.

An outstanding course. It starts out a bit hard, especially if you arent very familiar with Matlab/Octave as I wasnt. But the challenge is worth it. I feel much more confident in my understanding of many of these algorithms. I think, though, that after week 7, the class gets a bit too easy and routine, especially with the programming assignments. I was looking for something either more in-depth and/or challenging. I also would have liked to see topics like reinforcement learning covered, or further advice about how to design machine learning pipelines.Professor Ng is an excellent teacher, and I thank him for making this great course!

Excellent. Instructor delivers in conversational tone and with many examples and excerpts. The recommended reading list, with links to most items, is worth the time spent on them. I have lived and worked in the tech world through the primary eras he discusses, 60s to today, and seeing the legal issues affecting the development and use of emerging technologies has been enlightening.I would be interested in seeing this approach applied to matters of privacy and security.

The course is well made. Unfortunately, you will find at least one, minor or fatal, error in every video as well as quizzes. It also doesnt cover all the important subjects, so I would not call it an FE Exam Review course as the title might be very misleading. The course is good for reviewing the mentioned subjects but dont depend on it as your sole source of review.

Overall its a good intro if you know nothing or very little about those topics.That said, the class is too slow.Homework is too easy and boring. Its all about following very specific (long) instructions - put this line of JS here, create a function called Foo, etc.Grading is done by peers, even though it could be automated. Participation requires running arbitrary JS written by other students.

Needs to be more concise.Nick seems very passionate and trying to reach a broad audience, but overly explaining topics is creating lecture fatigue for me. For instance, every video starts with welcome back... this is why people like this... [meat of the video]... this is what we just talked about.... see you next time. I really just need the [meat of the video] part. These videos are 5-10 minutes long each. They are very short and therefore I do not need an introduction/closeout for each individual one. The Module Overview and Module Recap videos are sufficient to serve that purpose.Overall, I learned the basics and will probably take the next GIS course because I like the Coursera framework, but I think this particular course could be much more condensed.

Superb course, very well explained! The best Ive taken so far!You do need to know some Linear Algebra and Python as a prerequisite, but as a result, after hard work, I have now finally developed some true understanding of a wide range of regression algorithms.Minor downside: i find the activity in the forum quite low, so not to useful in this course.

This is an excellent course. I was having difficulty controlling procrastination and my academic performance was terrible before this course. But now even though I havent finished yet, Im able to control procrastination and my productivity soared and it has in turn increased my self-confidence. A million thanks to all those involved in preparing this course!

Im in the middle of the course but having taken many MOOCs I am already far more engaged in the lectures and discussion. I think the model of having the two students to query works well to make us stop and think about how we might answer the question and to reflect on the logic. I also like the black and white noirish atmosphere of the filming although not quite sure why its like that. I also like the fact that there is reading and not just lecture.

This course is excellent for beginners interested in Korean Language. The course teaches in a clear and concise manner. It relies on the student to take extra time working on pronunciation outside of the study time suggested by the course. Withing the first two weeks i was able to read korean words with fairly high accuracy! thank you First Step Korea for making such a great program!

I enjoyed this course. Of course there were moments, when I felt that Programming task is too hard after watching training videos only once. Then I had to review them again. And you know what? It worked. Tasks seemed to become reasonably understandable. Also FAQ for Programming tasks were so much useful! I see this course as a solid base ground for my interest in ML. Best wishes and courage to everyone taking this course. It is worthwhile.

I am a retired geologist and have recently taken up astronomy and astrophotography as a hobby. As is clear from the course there is a close association between the two sciences and I was keen to learn more. This is my fifth astronomy MOOC and by far and away a country mile the best; how many of those in a parsec?.Apart from the sheer breadth of subject matter covered I particularly liked the way various maths formulae (not too difficult) were explained and gradually used to explain and link various aspects of astronomy - thus adding weight to the explanations and especially how it all elegantly fits together. If you want to do just one course to understand astronomy, this is the one.Many thanks to David and team for the high quality of lectures and diagrams etc. which thoroughly backed up the lectures + the interviews provided insight form other experts in their respective fields.If youre ever in the UK do look me up - I also cycle and would love to go on a ride and talk astro etc. Thanks again to all.Heres my website if youre interested: https://watchthisspaceman.wordpress.com/

This course was great. The instructor really broke down the fundamentals of Data Analytics in several of modules. The only thing I would have liked a little more explanation on is the SQL section in module 3. I felt like this module went a little fast and could use some more supplemental information. Overall, this was a great intro into the world of data analytics.

This is a fantastic course! While the content is reasonably technical, it is taught in such a way as to make it accessible to a wide audience. The Teaching is top notch and the material is communicated in a way that is not only engaging but concise and easy to follow. I have already implemented some of the leanings from this course in my work as a geologist which has led to some significant improvements and findings . I would highly recommend this course to!

I thouroughly enjoyed this course. I found the lectures and the visual tools engaging and have been incoporating some of these ideas into my routines with great success. I have also been sharing some of what Ive learned with the students I work with as a Learning Support Assistant. Excellent!

Very nice compilation of the concept and practices in private equity market currently.A couple of concepts/jargons which I thought should have been touched upon were pre-money valuation, post money valuation, while the actual practice of arriving at the number of shares, was explain but no reference to the jargon was made.Also some understanding on concepts of liquidity discount, small size discount and control premium should have been touched upon in case of equity valuation which is quite relevant in case of valuation in small unlisted companies.Some more elaboration in the area of role and functioning of the investment committee could also be interesting.On the whole quite comprehensive, relevant and interesting.Regards,Jumana

This was my first coursera class, and I came out feeling confident in my use of the methods that Prof. Ng taught. The programming exercises do a very good job of guiding students through the implementational details of each learning method and usually provide examples to illustrate the strengths, weaknesses, and options within each. Im a graduate student in a protein structure/rational drug design lab, and the topics from this class have already weaved their way into my projects. These methods are applicable to almost any quantitative form of data - I strongly recommend this course for other young researchers, either to prepare to implement the methods themselves, or to just start thinking about how to format the conventions of their sceintific domain in a machine-learnable way!

Ive been developing in imperative languages for the past 10 years, and my motivation for taking this course was to make sure that I was using the functional capabilities of the language.While Ive embraced immutability and higher-order functions since I started writing Scala, I havent solved significant programming challenges using functional thinking. Much of what Ive already done with Scala so far has been relatively stateless request-response communication between systems, and the challenges so far tend to be on the architecture end.This first course taught me useful things that I hadnt encountered in my industry use of Scala. It has given me greater appreciation for the design of the language and the problems that Scala can solve elegantly. Ive also acquired more interest in learning about more functional approaches to various problems -- perhaps Ill dig deeper into SICP at some point!The assignments were a good fit for me -- they were challenging enough that they got me to think but not so hard that I got stuck. Scalas rich type system came in handy for the assignments -- once youve got the right idea for an approach, you just have to get the data structures to click (with some help from the compiler), and things just work!I appreciate that the assignments and examples were realistic. Getting to implement Huffman Coding and basic data structures (functional and OO sets) helped me both appreciate the functional way to solve problems like these, and to understand the class of practical problems where similar solutions are applicable.Great course, and Im excited for the next ones! Thanks to Martin and the course staff for their hard work on the course!

It was filled with a lot of interesting, pertinent information but I did feel that there was not enough variety in terms of interviews and I do wish that she had delved more into some of the topics. I understand it was an overview but I often felt that it was very brief.

I am so glad that I enrolled for this course, initially I was thinking that I know all this stuff but after starting the course, I learnt and understood the basic functionality behind things and I realized if I would have not taken the course, I would have missed on so many basics. Thank you so much for designing this course.

The course as a whole is excellent (5 stars), however, the Capstone project part of the specialization consists of 3 submissions that are reviewed by other students. Consequently the quality of the reviewers are of the same level as the student itself - which obviously limits the learnings from feedback.

Excellent material. It could have been better if the tracking problem had more examples showing practical application. For example, I struggled to apply the control theoretic material from this course to Penns Aerial Robotics course. Also, it wasnt crystal clear how to compose PID regulator from the systematic approach. This being said, I enjoyed the course and learned a lot.

Its a good course to take. As we learn OOP in a better understandable way. Instructors explain the concepts well. Also I always like working with maps and as this course assignments are based on map data, plotting data on real maps it like it more. But it would be great if the course have taught to execute the same code through java jar. As using Papplet via eclipse is easy but how to use the same code via computer terminal is quite tricky as we dont find any main method in our code.

The content of the course is very interesting, and I plan to go go through with it. A huge downside is that it is very difficult to follow the course because of the professors strong accent and, at times, incorrect pronunciation. It is distracting. Also, it would be good to have weekly assignments, to stay on track.

The grading system is very helpful for debuggingA little suggestion, personally i would not go to the forum unless i meet problems, but actually i find i may missed some great thinking for ignoring it. It would be better if there is a subscription feature like whats trending on the Forum to reminder learners to participate in the discussion.And i like the every weeks interview question, thank you for all your effort!

The concepts here are useful and Mr. Egger is a knowledgeable instructor but 1) this class is really about gathering information with Excel as the tool - you arent learning anything about Excel functionality, so the title of this course is really misleading if you just want to become a stronger user in Excel 2) there is a huge disconnect between the video lessons and the excel worksheets used to complete the assignments and since many previous reviewers mentioned this, it seems like thats not going to change. 3) the disconnect between the lessons and the assignments wouldnt be an issue if the instructor could be bothered to respond to forum questions. Mine sat unanswered for 5 days as the deadline passed. You are NOT going to get support if you dont understand something.

Very good introduction into the field of machine learning, its various algorithms and use cases. Only point of criticism would be that the level is sometimes a little lower than expected. The pace of the lecture could, in my opinion, be a little faster as I found myself skipping through the videos from time to time hopping over the repetitions. Having said that, its perfect for everyone without a mathematics background!The exercises were very good fun and very well managed through the available material, resources and the discussion forum. At the end of the course one - me anyway - wishes to go back to uni and start studying computer science.

Great course; very informative, highly educational, fascinating... There were just two things I didnt like about the professor, though I liked HER a lot; she was very welcoming, hospitable, and amicable; she treated her students well, and was enthusiastic about teaching us. That is a trait I have seen for the first time on Coursera, and I have to give Dr. Chagpar high praise in these terms. The only things I did not like - which are very small in contrast to the things I did like - were that she taught a bit as though she was teaching to 6th graders, rather than seasoned adults. But that is not much of an issue. My only other complaint is that she seemed quite callous towards women suffering - even dying - from breast cancer. But I suppose breast surgeons come to distance themselves from these terrible, tragic events.

After many technical issues I decided to try the course using my phone.... and it worked! I enjoyed the rest of the course immensely! :-) I have given this course four stars instead of five as I feel there should have been a few more interactive quizzes to really imbed the target language. I actually used what I learned to chat to some Chinese people in my area! What a wonderful feeling. :-)

I personally think that Ive learnt more from Google and YouTube then in this course. You can join the course for certification. Other then the certificate, I find this course not much of value.

Andrew Ngs contagious passion and enthusiasm towards Machine Learning is something that boosted my interest in this subject. He teaches with the same passion and teaches beautifully. The course structure is great. This course is a must for anybody interested in Machine Learning. This is an experience that cannot be replaced by anything else.

First, this course will enable me to understand the quantitative part of a research. Additionally, this will help a student to understand the essence of performing such numerical calculations and will make us understand the relationship between different variables.Secondly, this is the need of the hour and such numerical functions are used worldwide so, learning this course will help in almost every field be it Management be it Social Sciences or be it Human Behaviour.

A very informative course which I have taken while preparing for my Advanced audit and assurance exam - which complemented my preparation very nicely. I am now considering in due course to take the CFE exam and potentially pursue a career in the fraud examination field. I highly recommend this course to anyone who has a passing interest in this subject.

Its a quite cool and helpful course, I enjoy the process of learning knowledge about the Machine Learning(or A.I.) .The professor Ng is patient and kind, wish to have more opportunities to learn more from the professor.The only deficit I think is that there could be more challenging tasks for students to choose.Whatever, I really love the course!!!

This course is great! If you listen to the advice from this course, take notes and actively implementing this advice as you go along, it will become much easier for you to notice results very quickly! This course has helped me change my mindset towards learning and studying - I noticed my old ways werent working as well for me, and learning this course helped me not only becoming aware of the techniques one can use to master their leaning, but also allowing me with a plethora of different learning methods to experiment with and see which one works for me. I highly recommend this course if you want to continue to learn in life, and get ahead much faster.

This course gives a nice and broad overview of Machine learning in a lucid way. After completing the course, I could research and study publications and current state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning breakthroughs. I would recommend this course as a platform to get started in the field and then build on it based on your further interests.

I needed an introduction course for cryptography.finding coursera was amazing, registering and participating in this course was just what I was looking for.Explanations and examples are clear and understood.Keeping the pace for 7 weeks was a straggle worth paying !!Thanks for the effort invested to bring it public, will surly participate in more classes.

This course is way too slow and boring. I am disappointed I have paid so much for so few content here. Why a full specialisation cycle when one or two courses would probably have been more than enough ? Too much distraction as well, with funny videos that I had to pay for...

Well there definitely should have been confetti flying and a band playing when I got the notification that I completed this course! Come on, Coursera, you need some flash add ons to do ModPo justice. This course is densely packed, is intellectually and creatively a marathon to actually complete, but 100% compelling and enjoyable. The act of doing this mooc draws a line in the sand. Life on the other side of having discovered ModPo will never be the same again. It will be infinitely richer and more creative. Thank you, Al and all the team, for this wonderful experience, for your exuberance and generosity in giving your time.

The content of this course, like many other courses in coursera is top-notch! Professor Andrew Ng has unique ability to explain machine learning concepts in a simple and understandable manner. The course structure seems to have been really thought through as at no point did I feel as though I had a gap in knowledge. I would recommend this course to anybody interested in Machine Learning. Dive in, you wont regret it.

it will be better if there is some form of text or readings that can be shared in the course.When speaking of the examples during the lecture, I wish there is a real video of the experience rather than just the prof speaking of it. I wish I could have my own understanding in responding to those experiences. However, overall I learnt a lot through out the courses, it is really easy to understand, and usually I watch the videos when I want to take a break from whatever I was doing.

This is an excellent course to start with Python and Prof. Charles has build up an excellent course work.Listening to his lecture is like listening to a music and going deep into it exploring new pathways.His way of delivering the lecture is so simple yet so deep that even a person without any CS background could get on par. Thanks again and looking forward for the next course.

I am quite new to this learning portal and thus visited just few courses. Nevertheless I didn´t finish all of them because some were unfortunately quite boring. In contrast this course is so far the best I have seen. Professor Chang caught my attention from the first second. Course is very well structured, lessons and language are easy to understand. Lecture is very interactive, interrupted by short questions to maintain your concentration. Background is changing in order to keep your attention and desire to know more. Learning with prof. Chang is simply great fun!!!
