I enjoyed this course and recommend it . Prof . Fowler is very didatic and funny , and makes the classes nice to watch . I found some of the exercises a little harder than the content given , and the support is not that perfection yet , but one can find some good help in the foruns if ask in advance ( in my case , I must thank a lot my peers Brian and Richard . . . they were true mentors ) . Anyway , if you have some interest in series , I am sure you will enjoy this course . | [

I enjoyed every aspect of this course except Timaeus . Not being mathematically inclined I felt all of the discussion of triangles and what this was supposed to have shown was a waste of time . Better to tell us what he is trying to say , show a few examples , and move on . | [

Personally I had trouble with week 2 of the course . I think more details on the types of inputs and outputs with some examples would have been useful . For example , I ' m still not sure whether buttons are considered tactile or electronic inputs . It might be obvious to others but I can see see how it can be argued either way . | [

Course was thorough and informative . I entered with no knowledge about the History of the Middle East and now have a solid base of understanding to further delve into the subject . Professor is clear and the lectures are well organized . I ' m honestly surprised at how much information I was able to retain on the taught subjects . Take this course ! You ' ll be glad you did . | [

I am very disappointed with this course I had to wait too long on grading , first time I got not naff points then I had to wait for about few months on grading . I will not take capstone for this course because I suppose I would wait about a few years on grading . This course has to change grading process because has no adequate number of students for peer review . | [

Good and necessary introduction to Python . But especially Assignement 3 regarding cleaning the data should be improved . It´s good to know how to clean the data but it´s confusing when Q1 is apparently correct but actually it´s not . Mabye it would be better that Q2 - Q13 based on a new dataframe which is correctly by all means . | [

Excellent course . The video presentations are well done with information that is vital for developing the skill required to be an effective writer . They include videos that discuss concepts and interviews with successful writers . The assignments are challenging but enjoyable and well paced . This the second course I have taken in the specialization , and I am pleased with the big level of expertise that is shared by the instructors . | [

Because of this course , I am more aware of opportunities to negotiate in my every day interactions with others . I enjoyed Professor Siedel ' s teaching style . He gets you to think on a deeper level , especially when he poses questions and presents scenarios . The course material is framed in a comprehensive manner . In hindsight , this course on negotiation has shown me how much of a poor negotiator I was . However , I now feel more empowered by what I ' ve learned . | [

This is a very short , but useful and highly practical course . It will help you think about your work habits , as well as introduce you to an array of tools to analyze and make changes in whatever areas in your work or personal life you believe should be more productive / fulfilling . It ' s very light on the theoretical aspect , but it does offer you some food for thought . And Ms . Meloni is a delightful instructor - - she actually makes you wish the presentations were a lot longer than they are . | [

Great subject and some very well presented videos . However there were several which were incomprehensible . Either because of the quality of the video or the very heavy accent of the speaker especially to a non - American viewer . One doesn ' t always want to read a transcript but to listen and concentrate . If all the videos had been of good listenable quality I would have given the course 5 stars | [

Interesting and thought provoking course BUT the peer assignment tasks and evaluation criteria are moving targets that seem to be very hard to hit per my own experience and the discussion forums . Also what if you do not totally agreed with the IDEA that thematic presentation of art is the way that modern art has to be presented . And find themes as more of a way for art institutions to promote their own agendas and longevities . Which again is nothing new in the presentation of art but also can meander away from the artists ' and art works ' intent ! | [

This is THE BEST course I have ever taken on coursera or else . Very simple but effective , complex things are made bit simple to learn . Just in 3 weeks , covered a good contents . Specially the way of teaching was bit simple but outstanding . Pleasure to be a part of this course | [

I ' ve learned about this already from the book Your Memory . However , I believe this course has been a great refresher and I ' ve even learned a few more new things as well . It ' s amazing how some of the techniques taught here seem childish ( make acronyms , imagine / visualize w / humor , etc ) , but are underestimated , overlooked , and ignored . I recommend every person who wants to improve work ethic to take this course as to form a foundation to their learning structure . | [

Learnt a lot of stuff on how things happen inside all of us . Struggled in few sections , as i have not been in tough with physiology . . . Feel program could be much more valuable by using1 ) 3D videos to support the lecture2 ) more examples of the application of the concepts in real life3 ) increase the extent of interdisciplinary elements ( Sports , medical , day in the life . ) 4 ) Videos of Experts to share their findings / research | [

Very useful for beginners . she speaks very slow and keeps repeating the words until you get it . I really recommend this course for anyone who wants to start learning Chinese . I wish they offer free certificate for the ones who complete the course . Anyway , I hope to see more courses from this university to learn more Chinese | [

I learnt a lot in this course that surprised me . I went from being terrified of essays to managing to write one a few pages long . Thank you . My biggest issue and why I didn ' t give it 5 stars if the grading is via peer review and this meant a long wait and lots of begging PLUS getting only one word reviews such as great . Not very helpful . I would like a person who is experienced in essay writing to do a review , but I do understand that , by sheer numbers of students , this would be non viable . | [

The information presented was interesting , and the instructors were engaging . However , I had major issues with the translation . It was completely literal , and often translated in ways that did not make sense . If I did not have a working knowledge of academic French , I would have been lost . Also , many of the test questions were unclear and did not follow best practices in test taking . | [

I have done a few courses on entrepreneurship and venture capital , so I was quite curious to see what this course had to offer , taking the opposite approach . And I must say , that it has been the most valuable learning experience so far for me on Coursera . It ' s really good and it gave me confidence that I ' m on the right track , because I will much rather work with my customers than investors , and then bootstrap until I have to money to grow . | [

I found the course was very confusing and the language used in the quizzes and exams didn ' t always match the language used in the lessons making it very difficult to understand what was wanted . For a non - specialist , statistics is almost always a struggle , intently making it more difficult by trying to use trick questions and application in the quizzes and exam beyond what was covered in the course makes it really really difficult for those of us who are naturals at math . I worked really hard in the course and finally made it thought all 6 weeks of the course but after one try at the final exam I said to myself enough is enough . I hate being a quitter , but I was not learning statistics and causing myself many headaches and feelings of inferiority and self - doubt because I just couldn ' t match the quiz and exam questions to the material covered in the course . Maybe other people are much smarter than I am , but this source was a soul and time killer for me . | [

I have been looking for a stats course to unlock further learning . This was it ! I found the pace , content style worked for me to allow me to proceed on other courses .

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 .

This my first machine learning course and I am very satisfied with it . The bottom - up approach really helped me understand how machine learning evolve . I only cannot understand the proper action to do if I have to use data mining application as modern data mining applications provide diverse algorithms . The hands - on coding assignment is the most valuable lesson for me . | [

This course doesn ' t have any writing assignments . I appreciated it because it truly did help me understand the ins and outs of citations , which I needed to know in order to continue on with this course . I tend to get lazy and cute incorrectly because I never had the chance to learn how to do it in school . This professor is very understanding and straight to the point . It ' s what I need for this type of course . If you listen to the professor , it ' s no problem to pass the assignments and quizzes . repetitive . long . too academic . unnecessary terms . The instructor voice is annoying after 2 minutes . Blah . | [

Course is interesting , but sometimes its so hard to perceive the information with such accent : I ` m not lazy to read the subtitles , no . . but they also , from time to time work improperly and its not feasible at all to conceive the information . Plus , its absolutely inconvenient when you provide one huge assignment for several weeks at once ! Why couldn ` t you make it a few smaller to every week ? ( I think I ` ll disenroll | [

This is one of the best courses I have ever taken . It is fun and yet , it is very detailed and , yes , it takes a bit more than 2 - 3 hours per week . You will learn much more than using Tableau . You will learn to ask the right questions and you will also learn how to present your data analytics results to the C - suite or whoever asked for it . I highly recommend this to anyone , beginners and experienced business / data analysts . very useful . all the information covered , are pretty much common sense , and yet people do not pay attention to all the little things discussed in this course . well . i had fun listening to the lectures , and will definitely apply the concepts to my daily routine . tnx | [

Excellent way to revisit / rethink what it is to learn and how best to go about it . While unquestionably a boon to students , as an adult ( past middle age ) , I took away many important and unexpected tips , techniques , and perspectives . Although I personally had little direct use for the section on Testing , it was still interesting—and I certainly wish I ' d known that material when I was a student . One thing I would have liked to have addressed is how to set up and use self - testing to assist with day - to - day , non - student procedures and learning situations . Both faculty members were engaging and inspired confidence . | [

Omg , I wish I had these professors to teach us in our college . I have started loving HTML < CSS and Javascript . Being a total newbie to programming I have loved how clear and slow and easy to understand the videos are . Thank you so much and looking forward to completing the entire series .

The title says it all . Great overview of the history , technology , and security of internet . From the title and the nature of these lecture type courses I was worried it would be boring , but not with Dr . Chuck : ) He brings all of the concepts down to earth and help us understand them thoroughly at the same time . Highly recommended for everyone , especially non CS majors jumping into programming ! | [

Dr Chuck - a computing professor with a sense of humour - won me over in the end . This doesn ' t ask too much . It ' s clearly set out and you get to have a little go at programming at the end of each session . This course highlights how easy Python is more than anything and that ' s a good thing . Good coding language for beginners . Good course for beginners or novices . | [

An amazing course . I wasn ' t expecting much when I enrolled a few weeks ago but the more I studied and watched the lessons I was surprised with so many great tips and resources to understand and become a better learner . I found it funny that there were some techniques that I already use but have never thought on them . I reccomend this course to anyone , either in high school or college , or even as preparation for other courses in Coursera . Why don ' t they teach this in elementary schools ? | [

But then while I was learning how to learn , I discovered some great techniques and helpfull tips ! So I recommend this course to anybody who wants to get better and more efficient at learning . | [

Important note : Opt for this course only if you plan to do the entire specialisation . It is developed solely for the specialisation and not as a standalone course . You will not learn much concepts or theories or practice any R programming here . In general this course was basic and good enough to get someone started for specialisation . The video lectures for setting up R , RStudio and Github account were helpful and very basic ( maybe coz I already had an github account ) . | [

Very good course . Lot of practical information after first 2 - 3 weeks . If only the method would have had tiny bit more variation , such as animations , video analysis , case studies , maybe more expert visitors etc . it would have been even better and more durable in long run . But all in all , highly recomended . | [

Highly rated course . This should be a basic learning for every student from about 12 to 77 years old at least . For youngers , it would be very intersting to adapt this course since it looks like it is not an option sor successful studies . Thank you very much to Barbara OAKLEY and other teachers .

A practical course by a capable professor . Too simple in terms of theoretical aspects , but Prof . Ng is very good at making abstract concepts and methodologies easy to follow and understand . Great course as an introductory to Machine Learning . If you are interested , and want to learn more about the proof and in - depth mathematics behind , go to Stanford ' s site for this course . There are lecture notes , slides and exercises that students use when taking the course at Stanford . | [

The Professor is excellent and very student - friendly , and the course material is very clear . Two issues though : 1 ) List comprehensions should be introduced . They are extremely powerful and should really be introduced at this stage . 2 ) Charging $ 79 for this course seems like poor value for money , specially for a student like me . It doesn ' t go into great detail and the price point for what is a 5 - 6 hour course with simple exercises seems too high . | [

This course gives general information on the magic of middle ages . However , I wish the course could be arranged in a more logical and coherent way , such as geographical or chronological , which will help to understand and memorize . Material in Week 4 is very confusing . It is hard to get the key points from those materials and what the instructors want to tell me . On the other hand , materials in Week 2 is easy to be understood and reflected in the first written assignment . | [

Sorry to say that , but this course has nothing related to programming . I like Dr . Chuck courses , especially 2 - 4 in this specialization , but this course has no programming challenge and check only your ability to make screenshots . If you have any programming experience you don ' t need this course it doesn ' t pay off your time you spend for this . Sorry again , but it ' s my opinion . | [

I appreciate the effort that went into making this course as well as obtaining the film clips . Having said that , if you want to go deeper into the psychology of memory this course is probably not for you . As I progressed through the weeks , I found myself becoming less and less interested since I already know the basics of memory and psychology . I felt I wasn ' t learning anything new but the clips of films allowed me to see the films in a new light . Maybe if I had bought the book that goes along with the course , i would have gained more insight but as a standalone course , it rates just three stars . | [

I think this was a very good course . Level of instruction and pace were appropriate for someone with 2 hours / week to spend and who wanted to improve their knowledge of these topics . Its probably more useful for someone with some previous experience , limited time and some problems they want to solve , rather than a student . It had a good balance between a lot of breadth for time invested . If you approach this as a high - level overview that will help you efficiently focus your own search for knowledge it ' s extremely well done ; I thought knowledge communicated for the amount of time spent was quite high . | [

I ' m sorry , but this is just ridiculous . I can ' t recommend this course to anyone . It ' s all about advertizing Emily Fox can ' t stop but recommend Amazon services , and Carlos Guestrin does the same for his Dato ' s Graphlab Create , which is might be great in general , but absolutely useless in educational purposes . The practice part of every week is just a waste of the time . I can ' t say " money well spent " . | [

This course is not prepared as well . You see several video with animated presentation and typical ( vocabulary ) terms . It is not for beginners because in course you didn ' t find answers . It is not for pros because in course you didn ' t find interesting material . Hope that instructors can change course to better . | [

This was a superb course . Very accessible for the non - specialist . Matt McGue is an excellent lecturer and very clear and conscientious about his subject . I feel I have a stronger grounding in behavioural genetics and am using much of the research in the classroom today . I would recommend this to anyone interested in the influence of genetics on behaviour . | [

The lectures were not very interesting or instructive . The reading materials were much more so . However , the assignments in the class were based much more on the lectures and on self - reflection than on the materials . I learned a little bit , and as such found the course worth the time I put into it , but I almost think one could get through this course with little difficulty without reading any of the written materials , and thus derive very little benefit from it . I would encourage the makers of this course to do a significant revamping . In addition to greater incorporation and emphasis on the written materials , I think more real - life examples of diplomatic successes and failures would be a far more effective and entertaining use of the lecture time than the esoteric philosophising that seems to characterize it in this edition . ) | [

The instructor needs improvement on her presentation skills . She is just reading off the slides instead of providing more examples and scenarios to help student comprehend the material . I have to retake almost every quiz under her courses . In previous courses , I passed quizzes in one try . Please improve material or get a better instructor . | [

The way the topic is approached is quite clear and direct , and it is easy to understand . All tips given by Dr . Barbara and Dr . Terrence are easy to be introduced into the routine , making this course extremely recommended for those who really want to learn more efficiently . | [

This is an excellent course . It ' s very thought - provoking and provides insight into meditation - - a subject that eludes many people . The course needs more quizzes to help students learn and remember the knowledge taught in the lectures . It also needs a better evaluation scheme - - the two essay - only evaluation form does not do enough to test student knowledge . Test are needed . A better evaluation scheme would weigh testing and essays , for example , 60 % testing , 40 % essay . | [

This is the BEST online course I ' ve taken on Coursera - or any other online platform for that matter . I appreciate the care taken to script each lesson and I also like the animation that kept me engaged . There ' s nothing worse than listening to an instructor who ' s not even prepared and is " just sitting there " in front of a camera . I also liked the final PDF documents . I plan on applying what I learned from this course at work . | [

This is an incredibly surprising course to me . Learning an up - to - date ipython notebook along with carefully designed instructions helped me have a better understanding of what machine learning is about and how it can be approached . Even though the last part was somewhat challenging to me , I learned a lot from this course and more than anything else , I could have some sort of vision in machine learning . I would like to keep working on machine learning specialization . Thank you for your warmhearted and incredible instructions ! Thank you . | [

It is just turning out to be a tremendous experience . Robert Schiller , or Bob Schole ( as carl Icaahn calls him ) is one heck of a personality ! the man holds a sea of depth knowledge and history in him . I ' m barely half way through the course but it is just unbelievably informative , and has the right balance of knowledge , explanation , my favorite thing psychology , and the guest speaker every week is the cherry on top ! | [

IMHO , Excellent introductory course . Well planned , enabling students to interact and take baby steps into this really powerful language . Smart , casual and yet precise lessons will help you to go through the initial necessary steps in the language , building a fundamental base where you will construct your python coding skills ! . Loved it . Platform quizzes and assignments help you make progress and push you to review your notes and the book content , enabling you to feel comfortable with the speed of the lessons . Thanks to Chuck and the Teaching Staff of Python for Everybody ! | [

I am so glad to have found this course ! ! I had taken a course on MOS transistor operation during grad school , and never quite felt comfortable with the material , since not much time was spent discussing how the relevant mosfet equations came about . Professor Tsividis ' s discourse is like a breath of fresh air . They are so lucid that I feel I understand the material better now . The course is well structured ; as I go through it systematically , I can see how one lesson connects to the concepts presented in a previous one . Thank you so much , Dr . Tsividis for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge about this topic . | [

This course was extremely helpful for me , although I ' m already familiar with a lot of concepts and researches about learning . It ' s well structured and sometimes sims to be to precise , but then it ' s become obvious , that it follows all the tips it ' s talking about . So now that I finished it , it ' s impact on my learning is a matter of practice ) It ' s also very inspiring to see all of the personal examples ( see additional interviews ) , especially from Dr . Barbara Oakley since I also didn ' t expect that I would study math - related subjects . | [

I signed up for this course because I had read Martin Seligman ' s Learned Optimism and wanted to learn more about positive psychology . I would have liked this class to have gone more in depth in terms of the actual science and research involved ( the studies Dr . Fredrickson refers to are for the most part only touched on briefly ) , and to have spent less time listening to the on - site students discussing their personal opinions ( though I appreciated their insights , I would have liked to have learned more actual information ) . I did get something out of the experiential activities . Although they are optional , I would recommend doing them to really get something out of the class . They allowed me to stop and think about things I may not have made the time for otherwise . | [

This is a very basic course that introduces you to the topic , but doesn ' t go into much depth . While it ' s clear that a lot of time was spent filming and creating the course material , I still would not recommend this course . Both the presentation itself and the in - video quizzes are unbelievably obnoxious . The presenter emphasizes every other word and talks in a very unnatural manner that makes it very tiring to listen to , and the in - video quizzes are far too basic and take up too much time . Sometimes you also have to go to an external site in order to do the activities , which are badly designed and just frustrating . Overall , I recommend waiting for a better course . | [

Although the course material is very good but what I believe is that Image processing is a course where only theory isn ' t sufficient . Programming assignments should have been made important and compulsory part of the course instead of just MCQ quizzes . This is the reason why Andrew Ng ' s Machine learning on coursera appears very engaging . Whatever they teach in theory has to be implemented as part of programming assignments which makes learning experience wonderful . I hope that you will give due importance to programming assignments from next session . | [
