Very bad course. No videos, just an interactive textbook. The course states all you need is high school level biology yet you require coding knowledge for the very first quiz. there are side questions on the first week like does this algorithm runs in O(k * l * x^2) or O(xllogk) without ANY explanation. I guess you can find much much better book about bioinformatics, and as this course is nothing more then a book i recommend a better one.

Ive been to college, so Im not the target audience for this course, but I was curious to see what would be covered and to learn more about colleges today. I felt the course covered mostly simplistic, obvious stuff and left out a lot that many students wonder about.One topic that was covered was the different activities of professors. I wished Id known more about this when I started college. Of course I knew they did research, but I thought they were primarily there to teach. This is true at some colleges, but at others, the amount and quality of research can determine whether a professor gets to continue working there and reach tenure. So teaching may not be the first priority for some professors. Students may find that chunks of courses are devoted to a professors research interests, which could enrich or derail the course. This could have been covered in more depth.Other things that could have been covered: why some courses are so large and the function of recitation sections and graduate teaching fellows for those and smaller courses; what a seminar is; the existence of course reviews that can help with selecting classes and professors; how to deal with not getting into a course you really need to take (wait lists, professorial overrides, etc.); when pre-requisite courses are really necessary and when theyre just recommended; dropping courses; GRADES (how the college grading system works, what happens when you fail a course, academic probation, earning honors); campus codes of conduct (greater freedom as with class attendance; smoking and drinking rules, harassment policies) and disciplinary actions (disciplinary probation, expulsion); good campus activities for shy students.

The course was very easy if you got prior knowledge in programming in any other programming language. However this was a pretty good introduction to Python. Im wondering why you are still teaching Python 2, when most people are already using Python 3 already. Ive seen there are major differences between Python 2 and 3, most examples learned here would give Syntax error in Python 3.I think this used to be an older course, recorded several years ago. Thats why Python 2 is being used. Python 3 is pretty much mature now.

I would have given just one star except the swirl() assignments are actually very good. The videos are just a (poorly) narrated glossary. Topics I learned in another course were presented here in such I way I actually got confused. Can you imagine? my knowledge was actually worsened, not improved by thus course. (!!) // If the swirl() functions were made the centerpiece of the course, and the videos were described as just a narrated glossary, at least our expectations would be in line with reality. // Even so, I come to Coursera because I WANT to be taught by an instructor. If Id wanted a curated list of tutorials so I could teach myself, I would have done that already. Anyone who pays for this should get their money back. NOT recommended for beginners. // I going to complete it because Im stubborn that way, but it is an unpleasant experience for me and everyone within earshot as I have to vent my frustration often just to make it through. // After week 2 I resorted to just reading the pdf of the slides and stopped watching the videos. The videos added NOTHING to my understanding. More often than not they put me to sleep. And whats worse, the narrator mispronounces attribute. There IS a difference. I atTRIbute certain ATtributes to native speakers who mispronounce important vocabulary.

I was working at a lab last summer where I worked on breast cancer cells. A lot of the signalling pathways taught as examples in this course is what I worked on. I loved this course. The Professors are fantastic and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this course for anyone who is very passionate about cancer biology.

For the eager student maybe some more resources should have been shared. I was hoping to learn some production quality environment basics e.g. the ideal editor, best practices etc.That said- I really liked how the 3 components, css, js and html were stitched together to help understand interactive webpages using js.

The course is very good, but would like to make three suggestions:1) You dont have a feedback from what you made wrong in the exercises. It is usefull to learn from the mistakes.2) One week is a short lead time for the tasks3)It might include extra optional tasks regarding simulation

I really enjoyed the course.I learned a lot of things about specific pieces of modern art with some of which I was familiar to and with others I wasnt.The only thing I would say this course lacks is the fact that there are not enough assignments to work on and so we can not use our imagination and knowledge to write something inspiring!

I was surprised at how difficult at first people made their simple games for the first few weeks. It was cool to see some really creative games that inspired and helped me with my ideas as well. The teaching videos were great and immersive that I laughed out loud at sometimes. Like dont touch that theres a bomb and then just touching the bomb and the puppet exploding. (2 ways to explain something in a game)I loved the course and look forward to the second course! Thank you CALARTS!!!!

This course left me with mixing feelings. I learned some new things, but overall I dont think that I got understanding of base concepts. Week 4 seems to have disproportionately more material than previous weeks, as though authors tried to Although free, this is course is also offered as a part of paid specialization, and I would be really disappointed if Id spent money on a course like this.

As someone with no prior education in engineering, I found this course interesting and a digestible introduction to what the math of engineering looks like. I would recommend this course to anyone interesting in learning more on the topic, but would warn that the course required a decently strong background in math.

The flash tutorials are helpful. Instructor quality is low, production quality of instructor videos is low. Not on par with the University of Virginia project management course. Pace of course is also extremely slow, though it may be appropriate for novice students. That should be made clear up-front in the course description.

Better than previous but still not good quility

Good content and GREAT assignments. Main problem is that the lecture videos are unscripted and could easily be made more concise. The other thing that worried me was that most of the assignments that I peer reviewed had missed large parts of the question. I would rather have my work marked by people who have read the question properly.

Very useful :)

Poorly coordinated lectures. References to resources that are not provided. No response (at least, for days on end) when questions are posted on the forums

Outstanding introduction to Python programming language that will lay strong foundation to the more advanced topics about Python. The teaching style is superb and the things you learn stick in the long term memory really quickly. You need, however, to put additional effort on your side in order to truly get whats going on and learn and program as much as you can, as doing is really learning. Excellent, excellent course, teacher and the community.

I love the main lecture of the statistics. The Subject is fun. After couple lecture, my mind was very clear.But most of the time Im working on the statistics software name R. I think it would be better if require R knowledge. If not, student like me will need more than weeks to get use to R. I dont mean learn another software is bad idea. I will always like to learn something new. Thats why I go MOOC. What I mean is R and Basic Statistics should be separated. First R, than Basic Statistic. Or first Basic Statistic than R.I really enjoy the class. but the extra is a bit heavy for me.

No translations available despite what subtitles and transcripts say.

Joined this course as I was really interested in understanding meditation itself from a scientific perspective. The monotonous drone of the instructors combined with the super low volume that one has to strain to hear, the extra extra long essays which read like one long chapter less novel, the videos which extend what couldve been covered in 5-7 minutes to nearly 30, all take the interest away. Unclear if this was intentional & intended to enable participating students to be more patient and tolerant of imperfections around them.

Extremelly interesting material and good wrapping, I enjoyed watching lectures. Guess Ill continue studying biology as the course made me think about things and I need more info. Thanks a lot, great course

Good course for the introduction to Angular JS

Very good introductory course, highly recommended, even if you have little to no knowledge or experience in programming. You will have to spend a lot more time on it thought as it is stated - that is if you think of learning programming in Python seriously. It can be done even if you have a full time job and a family with a little baby as I had, just have to forget about sleeping much for some months :) But that is out because of the baby anyway.

Nice web pages to test the knowledge.

For someone without experience in Java, but with other programming experience (C/Python), I found this course to be interesting and challenging. Theres a lot of recursion in the assignments, which made my head spin. .. but I thought the course coverage was quite good. I supplemented with the instructors book.the main recommendation Id have is more information about using the IDEs. A lot of my frustrations ended up being about particulars of those.

More worksheets and examples would help :) the course is quite dense in terms of the number of topics covered

I learned a lot at a demanding level. I enjoyed, in particular, reviewing peers and getting feedback. It is very different from my old school days back in Germany. I will continue to write poems and now I have more tools in my tool-box from which to choose to make it happen -- with a vengeance.Thanks!Domingo

Excellent course! I find this Fundamentals of Graphic Design very useful for everyone not just designer. It does not only provide me with very basic yet very useful knowledge of graphic design but also helped me greatly in practicing certain skills that I never thought I would have. The assignments and all peer-review sessions are quite challenging too though the video sessions with the teachers always sound very easy to understand. I love this challenge anyway. Strongly recommended.

Very good course, but I didt like how the last week focused on test taking. The course should focus more on learning how to learn, not how to ace a test. In that regard, I felt the course began to be oriented more towards students rather than working adults. Why not spend more time on learning how to think innovatively?

This course was very informative to me personally as I am a millennial and was born into the digital. A few points of criticism to Dr. Picker, however, given that the title includes law and economics, I had a feeling throughout most of the course that we were learning more about Law than Economics. The few segments where he broke away and described net-neutrality as an economic device was perfect in that structure, but if that could be applied (with some of the hypo examples he used) in those other terminology areas, I would not be saying law outweighed economics. I must admit I only come from reading economic books by physical Economists (never took principles) so I may not see things the way he does, but I just want to make clear that someone like me welcomes Economic charts, graphs, empirical testing with defining that fields jargon. Other than that it was a series of lectures and crafted very scholarly.

I love this course so much, and I have learnt a lot of skills, techniques and knowledge about Graphic Design. Though some of the assignments are optional, I guess is to reduce the workload of the learners, I strongly emphasize learners to try all of them since the results wont affect the overall performance. It is a good introduction course for Graphic Design.

INSPIRING course! It gives so many great advises on how we should learn more efficiently. People should practice their diffuse mode by practicing regularly and continuously. Professor Oakley has mentioned several ways to avoid procrastination. I have to admit I usually have this problem and hope that Pomodoro can help me reduce the habit. Keep concentrated on a subject, while taking good rest can not be overestimated. Wish those who have taken this course can learn from it.

I really did want to take this course in a specialization mode. However I sampled some of the course videos in the different courses making this specialization and decided against it.In the course videos we see no teacher or lecturer just pictures of people and power-point slides with a flat voice in the background reading the slides. In my opinion this does very little in making this topic interesting as it comes out flat and more work should have been put into making of this MOOC considering one has to pay for the specialization. There were also no discussion forums of any kind available. More work should be put into the making of the lecture videos by the school to give it a realistic classroom experience.Unfortunately I dropped out of the MOOC because of the poor quality done by the school despite it being a topic of interest for me.

1. The title is misleading since at scale led people to think that large scale data processing platform such as spark and nosql databases will be central to the course right from the start2. The assignments need a lot of improvements. I am not happy with how were often only required to submit a single number as an answer. The biggest problem is that this way the grader wont be able to give you meaningful feedback / hint of where you might be wrong. A grader that only tells you your answer is incorrect does little to help you learn from mistakes.3. I think assignment 2 can be paced differently - now it feels that we have a bunch of very easy parts (a-g) that is not very interesting, where the last three are significantly harder.

I will continue to revisit the course material for years now, I hung in there and it just kept getting better and better, and I cant thank coursera enough for the financial aid they gave me to complete this course with proper certification.I totally enjoyed this course. Now going for some technical ones where I can apply the techniques learned in this course.

This course gives a great overview of the aspects concerning ethics you have to keep in mind while working with social media. This course has helped me to get a better grip on issues like privacy and accessibility. It says that reading the articles will take you 10 minutes, it took me an hour. I loved the variety of tutorials, interviews, assignments, readings etc. I would have preferred that my final assignment was reviewed by the professor himself.

This course was a very exciting experience for me. Professor Robert is in love with what he is doing. That shows in every step of the course - the structure, thematic & length of lectures,& the guest speakers interesting & useful web sites. And that prof. has not only very deep knowledge & passion for the subject, but also very broad practical experience, which he generously shares with the students makes the course even more valuable. I am MBA student and Financial Market is the key subject of my program, I find that taking this course was a useful & inspiring journey. Because of not having webcame with my laptop I was not able to verify all the Quiz but It was really a great learning and gaining knowledge. Thank you Professor Robert Shiller.

Nice course for beginners, I actually enjoyed it. Just same remark as for previous one - please review text of subtitles, its really awful and I guess its even funny for native english speakers

The instructor explains core topics very well, simply and straight to the point. He also answers some important questions for people who are learning to code for the first time. Ive been learning coding online on and off for a year, and I wish I had taken this course straight from the start. Thanks very much.

Fairly dense material (for novices in the field like me), but mostly fascinating stuff!Dr. St Leger makes it very interesting with his animated teaching style, crisp and clear diction, and helpful illustrations.Sadly, the supplementary reading materials mentioned in the lectures never showed up on the site. Students would definitely benefit from followup reading suggested by Dr. St Leger.Overall, a solid effort from the U Maryland team, for which many thanks!

If you are going to try and complete the specialization for this course series I suggest you look elsewhere. I was able to complete the first course with ease, but the second course to this specialization felt incomplete and does not tie in very well with the how excel is used. Dont be fooled by how easy the first weeks assignment is for the second course of this specialization.**My initial rating for this course alone was 4 stars, but due to the lack of effort and information in the 2nd course of this specialization I have to give this 1 star as these courses are all tied together.

steps for exercises are not clear.

Unfortunately I think the level for this course is very low and not worth paying for, it has a very local perspective of logistics (not involving international logistics but only US operations), theres no communication with the professor or assistants, so its basically watching a few very short videos explaining general concepts that apply only to certain types of operations.The assignments are very vague, with no requirements or restrictions provided, basically anyone can write anything and as long as you follow the requested format it will be graded ok; grading is not based content and therefore theres no way to know whether youre learning and applying the concepts properly or not.Wouldnt recommend paying for it.

I didnt like the main lecturer of the course. I believe his is smart and everything but for me as non-native english speaker I found the way he speaks is extremely hard for comprehension.

An excellent introduction to the subject for the computing professional. I learned enough basic concepts of investing and fund management to be able to navigate about the literature and I got some good practice in Python, in particular Pandas. I got my hands dirty and now I think that I can throw a passable trading system and this is what I wanted from the course. It is only to be hoped that Part II of the series will be offered sometime in the future or that at least a reading list for this course would be made available.

Complex concepts (e.g., regression), which cannot be taught in such a short course format (I know from extensive prior training), are taught here in an arcane way. I dont know how students without prior knowledge on these topics (e.g., regression, ROC curve analysis) could possibly understand this when taught this way.Course is also in an early draft mode, with plenty of mistakes in the videos/slides. The course (and specialization) really tarnishes - instead of enhancing - this institutions outside image and reputation.Really a deception; sorry I took this class and specialization, a complete waste of my time and money. The initial presentation was misleading (and I have found online many people sharing the same feeling).

Tough course, but fascinating and very well presented. I was never going to pass the final test because I just do not need to know the detail. However, Im very grateful to have got to the finish line. Thank you.

I think the course is good. I couldve wished for some more engagement from the lecturer as it often felt like he was reading from a script, and I might as well have read the script myself. I also think the course was very slow paced and I finished all the projects in a week alongside my MSc-studies as well as working part-time, I wish the projects wouldve gone more in-depth for those students who wished to put in more hours into the course.

I enjoyed this challenging course on linguistics. I appreciated that the course materials were available as one file so I could both read the text and watch the videos. The videos contained a quiz inside that kept me engaged. The interviews and Q&A sessions were a valuable way to present new information. I obtained two books from the suggested reading material to further my learning. In the end, I bought the certificate as a way to say thanks to the team for such a great course. Bravo!

I know a lot of work went into preparing this material. Although the Table of Contents serves this purpose in a more text-rich, visually complicated way - something I would find very useful is a step by step table or guide (to ensure no step is skipped) for the entire process, i.e.Requirement ActivitiesUse CasesWireframesStory Board developmentUser Story DevelopmentProduct Backlog Developmentand so on. I hope this will be helpful.

Good, I use to program when I was in high school. I feel like doing it again (now Im about to graduate from a business school), so I take this course. The materials are not so hard to catch up and I enjoy learning new program. (I use to do basic C++ and Java)

A good course, with a tremendous amount of information. I would suggest to split it up to (at least) two courses. Prof. Katsaggelos is very enthusiastic, the summaries in the beginning and in the end are useful. Maybe, it would be helpful for the students to summarize the necessary mathematical knowledge for this course, because this topic is really colorful in mathematical point of view. As a mathematician, I really enjoyed that, but an outsider may not feel the same. All in all, if somebody learns all of the topics, he/she will have a very strong basis in this topic.

I star reduced because it was somehow lacking in assignments and practical applicable steps to start eating healthy. A great base of information to build on and offer more in depth of what foods to eat and not to eat. Would also love more information on label reading and organic vs Other food. Extra Virgin vs Virgin Olive oil etc.

Course is useful for analysts.

Challenging and fun!

Everything they teach is in very good flow and interesting. The question they ask in between the video is also a good one for better understanding. I cannot find more better than this one. It make you want to learn more, watch more. Its my first experience in coursera, everything they do is awesome, like the weekly assignment, time given to complete the task which is make you want to do more........Thumbs up to this course lecture and Coursera team too.

Very very entry level information.

Another brilliant course from University of Pennsylvania. I had earlier passed and received a certificate of accomplishment for English for Journalism. Yet another certificate of accomplishment to do with English for business and entrepreneurship is for a complete cycle. Trust me it was not easy but dedication and hard work never disappoint. Is worth every effort I have had to put in.

I found the presentations to be very clear and focused. In addition, the readings were a good introduction to the foundation and current thinking in the field.I was disappointed in the difficulty in connecting with other students. That would have enhanced the learning experience for me. I am new to Coursera, and understand thismay be a difficult aspect of the programs to control, but its worth a try.

this is the best course in United States of America. #Obama2016

Very informative and learning experience. This is first time I have attended any online course. This course and coaches in the course explained things so nicely that I felt it like sitting in a class room. Entire team deserves a BIG applaud for conducting such a nice session.Course content was nicely designed and brilliantly explained. Its really worth appearing in this course.Thank you UC, San Diego !!!

Beautiful description of the life, times, ideas, and love of Socrates that Kierkegaard embodied. A real joy to run through. I literally watched all the lectures in the span of three days, there is something simple and earnest about the course that I really like. I like that the quizzes never took away from the lesson, they only check understanding at the end of the lecture.

Another great course! I am a little sad since it was only 4 weeks long when the rest were about 5 weeks each. I feel like there may have been another topic (regular expressions?) that could have been covered but these are still great and now I see how we can do string matching in things like text editors and do them in O(n) time. Wonderful series, Ive certainly grown a lot in just these past 4 online courses, keep up the great work! My advice to people taking these courses, be prepared to put time and really think about what youre doing. Try applying the things here to things you see in real life and youll find they have much more relevance. Cheers and good luck!

Not a bad introduction, but if you already know a bit about programming you can get the same basics and learn more quickly with a book.

The course is an advanced one and not really suggested for a beginner who would want to understand basic concepts. Also during the course, the teaching was fast and there was lot of content to understand. The practice programs contained lot of code which was confusing for a learner like me. Hence, hoping that these shortcomings will be sorted out as and when the course profile is updated.

Introduction to Personal Branding is a good course. Professor Barker is full of energy and she is also quite funny. She introduced us to a very large topic in a short amount of time and based on her agenda, succeeded. Taking Introduction to Personal Branding prepared me for my current course, Career Brand Management, where a lot of the terminology is mentioned repeatedly. While it isnt as thorough as my courses, I felt good about entering the course knowing I was introduced to a lot of familiar material in Dr. Barkers course. Thank you.

I really liked this course. It was concrete and well prepared and interesting, easy to archive. I had an experience in similar training classes, so I consider that is really useful to repeat or learn, if you a new in this topic. For me, is the must that the professor(s) was good in public speaking, other way I will feel boring.I would like to suggest this course to others.Kind regards,Kateryna.

I am very thankful to you guyss

For a introductory course it covers a lot of things, not in too much detail, but it covers a lot of important concepts and definitions.

This course has valuable information, but it is ultimately political. The professors dont even disclose that there are two opposing historical schools: New Historians, whom Palestinians reference; and traditional historians, favored by most Israelis. Which version is followed here? The answer is a mix, without identification. This is not the same as balance, which would entail each side laying out its key points and evidence. As others note, there is zero reading material. One wonders if this is because to choose a historian is to choose sides--that is how divisive this topic is. The discussion forums are also poorly monitored, unlike other Coursera courses; which does not advance understanding.A little knowledge is a dangerous thing unfortunately applies to this condensed intro course. And contrary to expectations for an offering from Tel Aviv U., most Israelis would likely be offended by some of its assertions/omissions. For example, Israelis recall that Palestinian founding father Haj Amin al-Husseini was a Nazi agitator in Europe and bequeathed an anti-Jewish ideology (Netanyahu even made a speech about this in 2015 that was covered internationally). Yet in this course, you will be told simply that al-Husseini was a man of religion.

This is one of those courses that for me open a door to a whole new world, that was right there in front of me the whole time (design is all around in society) but I had been to blind to notice. The course has lifted that veil for me.

A refreshing course for me, helped me to revise the stuff done long ago

The entire specialization was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about photography, and about project planning. The course also helped me to build confidence and not get so hung up on trying to be perfect right from the gate. Nice people taking photography from all over the world and fun, too. Thank you.

I love the professor, he is humorous and makes language fun. You know at beginning I dont like program at all and this is my first programming lesson. Thanks to the lesson, it makes me be interested in programming. And the lesson is not very difficult, every can learn about it, and the practice is practical. At last, thank you so much for your effort on this lesson!

Really useful

Very useful nutritional and food information structured with care, combined with common sense advice to apply in every household.The whole package is served with delicate ambient music, practical recipes and kitchen advices, and last but not least, with love towards children and family.One might find inside some controversial aspects as maybe too much frying, cooking in aluminium foil presumed to be bad, using sugar when cooking, but everyone is free to adapt the content to his own perceptions, fears and style. The main philosophy proposed, the moderation, is a keeper though.I just loved taking this course

Brilliant course. Mr Andrew is an amazing teacher! The interactive slides are a great way of explaining more complex topics as opposed to reading whats on slides, which some teachers unfortunately tend to do. I found this course incredibly valuable, easy to follow and incredibly satisfactory in the end. Mr Andrew, thank you!

My favorite course online this far (I have enrolled in 200+ and completed 50+ of them)! Great content, great instructors, fair and reasonable assignments. This course should be a must for everybody on this planet. I highly highly recommend it. I already loved Scandinavian countries, but now I also like Lund University a lot!

Why 5 stars:1. The amount of effort to put the course together is evident. It is not easy to go over all the basics in such short videos but Yaakov has managed to construct the course in such a way that we have enough understanding to ask the right questions that we can then investigate.2. Practice quizzes after the lectures are very helful. They help us refresh the concepts and also give us a sense of confidence that we have understood the lecture.3. The on screen recording is done very well. No clutter or unnecessary clicks and easy to follow.4. Engages with students in the forums.Room for improvement:1. A cheat sheet document would be great. I am taking notes but wish I had an organized and concise document that contains the rules/syntax that need to be memorized.

This is a great course to have available. However, I do think that in order to truly grasp many of the concepts, you need to either have a good baseline statistical background (ie, more than one college stats course), or be willing to spend a lot more time looking up many of the concepts (though many can only be found referenced in papers). For those who are engaged in applied statistics/signal processing, this would probably be fine. The course was very interesting, but I do wish they spent a bit more time breaking down the statistical measures and more examples/figures/analogies to make the course overall more coherent, and encourage a deeper understanding from a big picture perspective. It would be helpful if they had optional supplementary videos that dive deeper into the stats for those who could use it.

I believe this course can be performed much faster, beware that it is really an introduction, and IT professionals persons may feel it slow, in addition the presenter speaks English very slowly, good for non English proficient persons, but bad for the others.

This course is a great place to start developing your knowledge and intuition around machine learning. Ive learned different many different algorithms, error analysis, and troubleshooting techniques. This is definitely a great place to embark your journey into machine learning. Many thanks to Professor Ngs teaching and great practical advices.

Excellent course. Larry is a great teacher and the quizzes and assignments give a great opportunity to consolidate our learning. One recommendation I would give is to try to make the forum more useful maybe by including TAs o including mentors that response on the course contents and not only on technical issu

This course is where the material starts to get difficult, and the learning materials fail to provide the structure needed. There absolutely HAS to be a better teaching method than reading the slides of bullet-ed text that Im also showing. No functional examples are provided in the lectures and the real learning content is linked out to web resources. You will have to Google your way through this class because the provided instruction will not contain answers to the quiz or exam questions. A real disappointment.I also think that Coursera knows this, because this was the first course where they ramped up the e-mail encouragement campaign. Their data must tell them this is where people fall off the specialization. Rather than addressing with marketing and messaging, they should encourage the instructors to improve the course.

The course is good. I just do not give five stars because we have to pay to atempt pass.

Course address some elementary issues about IoT, but the instructor at times seems like he does not have a good grasp of the lecture materials. No access to quizzes or evaluations as auditing participant, which is a shame since most of the Coursera MOOCs allow access to evaluation material under the auditing modality.

This capstone project was a huge disappointment to me. The course caption stated that this would be where we would use Location, Design and Usability, and Persistence and Settings to build a high quality app. Also stated is that you’ll apply your skills to create a fully-functioning photo editing app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Earlier I have also read that we would be allowed to build an app of our choice or according to teachers specification. That text now seems to have been removed.Anyway, none of these promises were kept. Instead we got something like 20 minutes of lectures in total for the whole four weeks, all on a simple framework to track face features. Unfortunately this framework isnt very competent, so theres only so much you can do with it. Most of us have only placed some static images and simple animations on top of the face shown in the camera view, and that is actually enough to get full marks according to the form used in the peer review. How does that even begin to fulfil the promises of the caption?We have paid as much for this course as for the previous three. There should of course be a similar amount of lectures on more advanced topics like current best practises for UI design, the Location API which was promised, and other interesting things that provide the building blocks for a state of the art iOS app. For a real cornerstone project, I expect that more than 4 weeks would be necessary in order to be able to build a good app, since many of us are doing this on our spare time.I feel sad that I had the misfortune of signing up for this course before it was made, but hope that you will take our collective criticism and make a good course out of this for future students.

Brando did a great job in presenting a structure for plot. I think his insights are valuable and he did tried to offer practical guidelines writers can use.What I didnt like was the reviewing of the assignments. Some times I didnt receive valuable feedback ( the same sentence copy/pasted in every section) and someone failed me for not understanding my intentions because he was not an English speaker.Away from that, I really liked Brando, his style, and his involvement.

The lectures are just videos of the professor bloviating about Jefferson. There is nothing academic about this course.

The discovery of David Christians approach, first by reading his Maps of Time and listening to some of his presentations on-line, then by attending this course was an eye-opener to me. I now try to explain the importance of the subject to as many people as I can. Not only adults or university students, but mid-level students as well deserve to be exposed to the view of Big History, It changes ones perceptions of the past and enhances ones apprehensions of the future.

Pros: Really fun to watch. Great introduction to several ML algorithms. Offers specific examples that you can follow along with (Python).Cons: Uses a proprietary library to demonstrate concepts.Overall: At first I was concerned if this specialization would be too difficult, but this specific course was surprisingly easy to follow along.Note, I highly recommend the Data Science specialization here on Coursera.

Excellent course.Just a shame, trying to figure out to get always the video notes only in english language and not in my natural language (currently french, detected by Coursera), which is better to understand questions & insure to get the answer. For some videos, only the notes in my natural language are available, which constraint me to translate and probably leads to misunderstandings.

Given this is the third (or fourth) iteration of this course, its telling that the errors from the original release remain in the videos and quizzes. There are other, higher-quality Data Science MOOCs available.

So many better options out there to learn to code. The videos on this course had me so confused that I eventually gave up and went to another website to learn what I was supposed to be learning here. Asked a question on the forum that another student was also having a problem and nobody answered me.Very very boring. Try somewhere else.

Professor Noor is very friendly and clear in his lectures. He also answers questions in the discussion foruns with speed and detail. I was able to learn a lot from this course and challenged myself to a heavier load of lectures than I had expected because they were not boring at all. My only caveat is that the questions in his quizzes can sometimes be unnecessarily confusing because of wording or tricks.

I feel that this specialization is not focused enough on developing portfolio pieces. One portfolio piece at the end of an 8-month course does not seem adequate to me. So I wish we focused more on developing high fidelity work - in addition to the need-finding, user research, sketches, short weekly assignments. This high fidelity, digital work could even be optional, but I need some guidance on what work to develop and how the overall process should look.Even being allowed to enroll in the capstone before completing the first 7 sections would be helpful.The review is kind of about what you are looking to get out of these classes. If you just want to LEARN about UX and human centered design, then its a 4-5 star course. But if you want to PRODUCE some great work that will help you land a job in the industry, it might not be for you.

Great course! THanks for the paced interleaved sessions :)WIsh there was a continual mechanism we could come back to and build on our learning as time goes on. I think this was a great courses introducing us to important concepts in learning how to learn and not just what to learn. Hopefully can get rid of bad habits myself.

The course was well paced and structured, allowing anyone, even someone quite busy with other distractions, to manage. There is a wealth of material to focus on, but as the course points out, it is the time you meditate, sleep and exercise around what you are learning that allows your defused thinking to store the gems of information away to be used for a lifetime. Great resources too, and both Terry and Barbara were quietly advocates for never being careless about learning. Thank you both.

As 2 previous courses of this specialization - the authors did a great job! I really enjoy it and learn a lot of things. The workload is perfect: not too much, so you can get things done on time, but still pretty informative and intense. The way the material is presented is beyond all expectations. I really recommend this specialization to anybody looking for a good course of algorithms in Java.

Nice course. However I do not understand why javascript is treated in a way that separates it absolutely from its web-related applications (it is treated as a general purpose programming language, which it is nowadays, especially once node.js came to the fore, but still - it is primarily web language and it would be better to treat it as such, even more so when the rest of the course is focused on html and css.
