It is a wonderful course for serious learners wanting to learn about the human nervous system and how it works . I myself am a medical doctor ( I graduated over two years ago ) and I can attest that ( in my university at least ) I didn ' t have neuroscience lectures with this depth and detail . Due to my medical background I found it comfortable to go through the course without much effort or lots of extra studying . But I figure that if you do not have some such foundation it might be a bit more challenging to go smoothly with the course , and you might needs more extra studying and more time put into the course . But if you are interested about neuroscience and want to learn the essentials of how the human brain works ( as per our current knowledge ) then I recommend that you put in the effort and go with the course even if you don ' t have a strong background in the life sciences or in medicine . Many thanks to Dr White and everybody else who have participated in creating and maintaining this course . | [

Great course ! It gave me some great new viewpoints from which to problem solve . The case studies were relevant and interesting , and the guest speakers were good as well . I wish discussions had been a little more structured - it was kind of a free - for - all which led to a lot of off - topic nonsense to weed through . After the second week , I really stopped checking in because it was too time consuming and that ' s a little sad . But that would be my only suggestion for improvement . | [

Great course ! Fascinating Professor ! Recommend to everyone who wants to start learning Python or programming in general ! Many many thanks to Professor Charles for holding the course and generously sharing his work with us ! I ' ve really learned a lot ! Can ' t wait to start the next course in the specialization ! | [

Thank you very much for this interesting course ! I still do these excersizes and try to notice good and bad design solutions in everything what surrounds me . I love this course and I am reading now Don Norman ' s ' The Design of Everyday Things ' to understand design principles more deeply . It ' s an upgrade for me ! | [

Breadth with Depth ! " That ' s what you ' ll get from taking this course ( quoted because those are the words used to describe the general education pattern at my university ) . I never used the forums for this course and had to learn software than what I ' m used to working with ( sci - kit ) . When stuff worked it was rewarding , but other than that , expect to read documentation if you get stuck . Finally , for anyone who want to know what Machine Learning is about , this courses is the sampler of what is to come in later courses . | [

I had a lot of fun during this course , but I think it is simply too short to present all the topics in sufficient detail . Furthermore , I took this course without doing the prior courses in the specialization , and there were a couple of moments when I really thought previous knowledge from a different course was required . I think for the most part the lecturers did a great job in explaining the materials in the course . The lectures themselves were also well structured , and the topics followed each other in a logical order . I would have loved to spend more time on modeling techniques and Markov Chain Monte Carlo . | [

Marvelous course ! I had a wonderful time learning and enjoying the lessons ! I am very grateful for both ! Professor Maya made everything so special because I could sense it was a pleasure to her educating her students and sharing this education with her family members . I am eager to learn more from her and looking forward to her next course ! Adriana Bonorino de Aragão | [

Programming makes sense to me now . The course material is well thought out and progresses in a way that allows for full understanding of how the language works . I have tried learning Python , C + and Java from other sources ; this is the first time I feel I have been successful . I want ' t to learn more ! | [

lecturer is very monotone and isn ' t engaging . Course also focuses a lot on the history when it would be more relevant to look to the future . It is peer graded which is extremely unreasonable , people do not read the submissions fully or fully have the knowledge to be able to grade someone else ' s work . People also have different standard which causes a large variation in grades . Grading rubric does not include areas for where extra research has been done either | [

This course has two great projects . A simulated MIP track and a Physical lab track in which we will make a Rover . If you are ambitious you can even implement slam on the AR track . AR track is on raspberry pie and the simulation track is on matlab . This course will give you the basics for a robotics career I believe . | [

This was a fantastic class . I learned a lot about writing historical fiction , and I was able to add several books to my already teetering TBR pile . Dr . Holsinger was an interesting professor and obviously loves the material . I would recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in history or historical fiction . | [

The course was very informative and is easy to follow . The professor has a lot of case studies which shows he is a marketing practitioner and shares real / sample cases that help you better understand the concepts taught ( not just theoretically ) . He also supplemented the class with interview / talks with professionals who make use of ROI , Media Attribution and Data collection and they share their advise to students from their own experience . I truly enjoyed this course and learned so much . I have recommended it to my friends who are market research / consumer insight practitioners . | [

The best course about mathematics that I ' ve ever taken . The course is very interesant , the videos are very well done , the activities and quizzes are very challenging . I had seen sequences and series a time ago and I didn ' t like them at all , but now it is a complete different story . I really enjoyed this course and I recommend it . | [

For everyone involved in Public Health ( and not only ) , complexity is obvious . Dealing with complexity is not ! This highly pedagogical course offers all the necessary knowledge and tools to deal with it , while leaving behind the linear abstractive way of thinking . The lectures are analytical , highly informative , finely structured and well focused . Not boring even for a moment . I highly recommend it ! | [

Thank you for providing such great courses ! I really learned a lot from this course about the " mysterious " Machine Learning topic . And also the way you organize this cool learning platform impressed me . Many learners and volunteers join the helpful and mind - opening discussion . Besides the fantastic video , the lecture note is so informative and helpful for learners . Thanks ! | [

Great case study , but the way to engage the audience might have been way better . Assignments were individual and it was very difficult to use them at full power , because they were quite boring . Interaction with other learners would be very beneficial in a form of group assignment . Videos are very boring and useless in comparison to incredible content in the first 6 courses of the specialization . Capstone should have been done by the same ( high ) standards as other courses in specialization . | [

Great course . my constructive criticism has to do with the organizing of the group activities , it ' s just very difficult to organize into groups via people whom you have not met , especially given the time zone differences as well the differences in daily schedules for group members . I just wonder if there ' s a possibility to organize the group projects in such a way that the website allows for better asynchronous work ( not just emailing back and forth as that feels very disorganized ) ? Otherwise I feel that I learned a lot and I feel that this is a great intro class . i ' ve learned tons of new things . i would like to have more materials on the subject . could the staff attach some recommended readings ? other courses ? than you for making this course : ) | [

This is an extremely basic course . In my opinion , it isn ' t worth $ 49 and is thrown in just to add to the total price of the specialization . It is a useful refresher , but doesn ' t really contain much information . Just a couple of topics are covered at a very basic level . You could also get this info from watching Youtube videos . | [

Good overview and introduction to the more detail content of the following courses . If you are not familiar with Python , this will ease you into the language and enable you to follow . There is a certain style of teaching that you need to get accustomed too in the beginning but when it is done , lessons become very clear and easy to follow . Moreover , it becomes " so what is happening next ? " and you are looking forward to the next lesson . Again , this is mainly an overview ( with content ) and a lot of the material will be reviewed more in detail afterwards . | [

This course was sooo useful ! I am starting college in the fall and thought this might help me ; it definitely will . The main instructor is great ; she explains things very well . If I learned one thing from this course , it is that I need to go back and forth between focused and diffuse modes of thinking . Just that one thing has helped me immeasurably since I ' ve learned it . | [

I ' ve already written a review for part 1 and I have the same opinion about this one . The course is rather poor and not challenging . Only general information about relevant topics that as well read on wikipedia . No exercises , no code assignments . A lot of this content was repeated from first two parts of this specialization . | [

I enrolled in this course after completing the html5 course . At the culmination of the CSS3 project , I feel ways more confident in my web development skills , although I am a far ways off being a web designer . The pace of the course is excellent , and the quizzes and projects allowed me to put in practice the theory I learned about . I also love how the professor discusses the material and organised this course . I truly recommend this course to anyone at the beginner level . | [

This is easily the best introductory statistical mechanics course on - line . Prof . Cramer presents the fundamental concepts of statistical mechanics in a sensible manner which makes this difficult subject somewhat manegable even for beginners . People with former experience with statistical mechanics will , on the other hand , benefit from the inclusion of the more involved connections to quantum mechanics and physical chemistry . I also highly recommend the mentioned youtube courses on some advanced topics . | [

Very professional course , thank you for that ! The only thing I was missing in this course was how to learn in non - academical conditions . How to find time if you work 8 hours per day and come home tired while you have prepare something to eat and so on . . How to motivate yourself if there is no test , if you are learning only for yourself ? How you can practice that what you are learning if you are doing something completely different in your professional life ? These are questions for that I really need an answer , the rest I know from your course , big thank you once again ! : ) | [

I found it extremely interesting and useful . It is a compact course but has given great mental tools to help in learning . The list of optional readings is helpful in getting a deeper understanding . I feel quizzes could have been a little more challenging . I really enjoyed the videos and from them have learnt how to deliver a video lecture . Thank you | [

This is one of if not the best course that I have taken . The instructor is outstanding and I find the lectures well prepared and well delivered . As an anthropology - zoology major and a meditator of about 5 - years , I find this course as an incredible bridge between the science of the brain and the practice of mindfulness . I hope that Robert Wright will continue to create offerings for the Coursera world ! Thank you so much for creating and providing this material . Craig Silverman | [

Pace is extremely slow . The instructor writes and talks simultaneously . The words are put so slow that it puts me off too sleep at times .

This class was really difficult . The course material did not cover what we needed for the weekly quizzes ( particularly in Week 3 & 4 ) and the final exam was immensely difficult . Additionally , the written instructions for the final exam did not even cover some of the questions that needed to be answered i . e . repeats or questions about particular reading frames when analyzing the ORFs . I had to do a lot of self teaching using random resources and I simply didn ' t have the bandwidth to dig around as much as was needed in order to do well in the class . | [

I am very much enjoying how my professor breaks everything down to the simplest form . I find myself applying what I have learned to my everyday writing as well as things I read and watch . He is upbeat and energetic and the assignments are fun ! Although he asks for 200 words and I find that difficult because I am accustomed to writing a small novel for each answer , as you can clearly tell from my review of this course . I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to begin writing or to writers who want a fundamental understanding of what they are already doing . | [

This course presents relevant topics for machine learning in a very didatic way and in a very interesting sequence . The teacher really knows the topic , the comunity is engaging and the material is really well crafted . I totally recommend this to you if you already have a little programming background ( matlab is a plus ) . If you don ' t , i sincerely recommend that you study a little matlab and linear algebra , although this is not 100 % required for passing the tests , it is essential for your complete understanding of the subject . Note , i ' m currently at week 5 of the course ) . | [

There is quality implicit in the approach taken , but in my opinion , this course is excessively short , having only 20 - 25 minutes of videos per week , what is very limiting . Also there is no slides of the material covered what I find not adequate . To fully grasp the theories underlyind in the lectures , slides would be determinant . Just watching videos and doing quizzes is not a very effective form of learning . | [

I audited this course . The videos are in fact useful . However , it would appear that the real interaction is reserved for the later weeks of the course . Thus moving from theory to application can be a bit abstract . Of course I did purchase the book and workbook created by the author and have found them to have additional material to support application . | [

The assignments are not really commensurate to the content , i . e . they are much simpler and superficial and do not really test the content , which is deeper and implies practical activities difficult to measure . The title is also partially misleading , at least for me , and I would rather call it a blues introduction to jazz improvisation . But the content and the exercises proposed are great , one of the best and no nonsense approach to bebop improvisation I ' ve ever found | [

This course on software security was very informative . This is the best place to start off for a beginner as it not only covers the technical aspects of security , but also talks about modelling threats and identifying adversaries and their capabilities . I however was slightly disappointed with the testing methods of this course . I feel that most of the testing should have been on the basis of projects and a project should have been included every week . But , all in all taking the course was a very pleasant experience and I thoroughly enjoyed all the projects that were given . Looking forward to taking the next course in the specialization ! ! | [

This course is excellently organised . You will learn very interesting things about Machine Learning , but you will also work your programming skills ( MATLAB / Octave ) . You don ' t need to know a lot of algebra or programming , although every knowledge is useful . Professor Andrew Ng is excellent and all the exercises are very well explained . Forums are VERY useful too , you will get help and feedback from teachers and other students very quickly . I completely recommend it to anyone in the engineering , computer science or even other scientific disciplines . | [

Overall very detailed and informative . A great way to get insight into English Common Law . I just felt that in the last week ( 6 ) , perhaps the transcripts in English had a few mistakes and seemed to be missing out a few words of the lecturer . Also a few grammatical mistakes , which seemed slightly odd ? Nevertheless . Very happy ultimately . | [

Very effective and concentrated . I learned all the essentials of C + in just 2 months . All the programming assignments are very interested , the instruction guide us on the convention to write beautiful codes . The automated grader gives very concise and sometimes helpful feedback . The staffs reply on Discussion forum as well . | [

Very interesting , up - to - date and relevant concepts on marketing and communication tools and how they relate to the fundamental goal of achieving long - term brand loyalty . I like the practical examples used as they help to illustrate the concepts well . If a little more coverage could be provided on digital marketing , it would be great . Nonetheless , this is a great course for introducing the fundamentals of traditional marketing and communication tools . Great description on the theoretical concepts related to advertising strategies especially - some psychology involved , in the context of consumer behaviour , and I appreciate these associations especially since Psychology is my undergraduate major . | [

This course is an excellent survey of introductory sales techniques and thinking . In addition , it allows you to access Craig Wortmann ' s " Sales Toolkit " , which I think is highly valuable and able to be carried over into other personal / professional situations . However , the rigor of feedback from classmates was sometimes lacking , and the problem sets / videos took hardly any time . More time could be spent on them , but without more intense feedback from seasoned sales professionals , it might not be worth the investment . Overall , I am satisfied with having paid for this course in order to get that feedback and the certificate . | [

The best thing about the course was the acknowledgment that this is a highly interdisciplinary area and the emphasis on future research directions . The topics are covered by providing plenty of background explanation , though I found the repetition way too much at times . I would have liked to see the English in the slides , transcription of the videos , and most importantly , in the quizzes , proofread - at times , the seemingly small errors made it hard to understand what the quiz questions were about . A good introductory course all around . Thanks for your efforts ! | [

It´s a great course to understand and to learn the princoples of Machine Learning and its methods and algorithms . The teacher is absolute wonderful because I knows how to explain the complex concepts and theory in an easy way . Definitely , he is a great teacher . It has been hard , and took me more time than expected , but I am really happy for having completed it . Now I will try to do another one about data science . | [

Prof . Yaakov Chaikin is a talented mentor . His teaching is so much more than a typical case - based ' training ' with ' illustration ' of specific examples , as he explores the underlying architecture and design foundations of the subject he presents . In addition , he has excellent presentation skills , that make his lectures enjoyable and easy to follow . I highly recommend this course . | [

I found the course to be taught exceptionally well . Andrew is clearly passionate about ML as well as educating the masses about it . The use of real - life examples is a fantastic learning aid , in the videos and in the programming exercises . I enjoyed learning Octave and performing the weekly homework ; the exercises showed me how to perform tasks simply that would seem impossible to a lay person . My eyes have been opened and will look to future - proof my career by continuing my studies in ML . | [

Education was beneficial to my everyday life . I help but revert back to the lessons taught when it comes to my diet , and the little ones that run around our house . Being a chef I was always looking for better ways to enhance the diet of adults , and taking care of a child ' s diet is just as pertinent to any dining experience . I would suggest this course to anyone , and though it may seem easy . The diagrams and lessons will stick with you through every meal . | [

The module is overall great and gave me an intro on how game documents are developed , plus it made me start thinking like a game designer ( I hope ! ) My only complaint is that the homework is fairly restrictive only one - page game per week , which means there ' s only so much you can do ) but I do appreciate the fact that it simplifies things and if anything it pushes you to be even more creative , beyond the typical " board game " . | [

Good coverage in a very fast intro to the subject . Definitely take away some things I am able to put into use in my work . I get the feeling this is quite a new course ( compared with the very well established Data Science Specialization ) and does not have the student interaction base yet . I hope this aspect develops - perhaps even with the TAs . For this level course student interaction could be even more valuable than the more hands on data science subjects . Hope this specialization takes off as well as the DSS did ! | [

The class It ' s really clear and simple . Every week you can put the information to work on the assignments , that in my case made me put my creativity out there , have fun , discover my abilities and create really cool stuff . I learned with the recommendations of my classmates and I also learned by review them . I feel I learned a lot on a few weeks . I really loved this class , very , very much ! | [

I have always been appreciative of free courses that are provided by universities , but this course is clearly biased . The sophistry present in the final module is particularly dishonest . A university is meant to teach the whole story , and have a truthful account of facts . I am deeply disappointed that so much fallacious content could be distributed to individuals , on the pretext of unbiased learning . This course clearly has an agenda . I hope those who take it think critically about the subject matter and do their best to weed out what is reasonable and what is not . | [

At this point , I think that the course is good , however there should be more reviews . Three reviews of people who is also learning is not enough , in my opinion . I have received some comments like ' some sentences are not good ' . Which tells me absolutely nothing . I think people should be encouraged to exemplify what they mean , to take the sentences that they believe that are wrong , and extend why . For the rest , the course is very good . | [

The course is definitely high - quality and the topics are covered in a good way . I ' m not giving 5 stars because I would have expected SVMs and neural networks . Mentioning the many different algorithms for learning decision trees would have been nice , without necessarily focusing on each of them in depth . An entire week spent on precision / recall seems a little bit too much , without touching other metrics like F - score . Overall though a very nice course for beginners , and it definitely gives a good sense of classification challenges and approaches . | [

Outstanding course . My only feedback is you force the students to use Octave / MATLAB . I used Python do all the assignments but I didn ' t bother submitting my answers to get credit for the course because I would have had to reimplement it again in Octave . Maybe give some more in - depth optional assignments ? I would have liked to have actually implemented a SVM rather than use a lib ( at - least one time ) . | [

It is a great course for me . At the end of the course , I learned how to generate a trajectory having several set waypoints and have my drone follow the trajectory autonomously in simulation . As opposed to the stated prerequisite , I believe the course requires engineering / math / physics background . On the down side , there is no TA presence in the discussion forum . You will need to rely on your classmates if you are stuck . Also the second assignment requires hours of tuning , which serves almost no educational purpose . | [

I like this course very much , I dropped out once because some of the homework questions are not quite obvious for me . After refer to other material , I survived the course . Frankly speaking , I am still not familiar with most of the contents . But this course displayed a vivid picture of MCMC . I will keep learning the subject in the future . The discussion session is too quiet , maybe I should have asked more questions . | [

There is some good content on creativity in this course , thoug it barely addresses problem solving . Do something different " assingments were an interesting idea . Some content material is missing , including the link to a text that is needed to answer a quizz which will influence your final grade . Grading standards are weird : maximum grades are to be given to assignments performed in public , as if things done in private aren ' t creative ; there are better ways to have someone get out of their comfort zone . Assingments request that you be photographed or filmed , and there is no disclaimer that your photos or your privacy will be protected . If you are an introvert or simply a person who values privacy , this is not the course for you . | [

The lectures do exactly what you need . He starts with just enough theory to help you understand a concept and then jumps into applying equations and solving example problems . The biggest problem is that there are examples that are wrong every once in a while during the lectures and one or two in each quiz . It ' s not a huge deal because sometimes figuring out where he went wrong helps you to understand the problem better . It can be annoying for some examples though . | [

Very very bad communication from the teachers . The 2nd MOOC was supposed to start I think 2 . 5 months ago , it did not start at the time of this review . They did not even bother to post some announcement to let the students know : ok course starts in x months . Making things worse , you cannot get a refund if you purchased the entire thing . | [

Ni Hao , I liked the course , good course content though the first week which includes the tones was tough as it is hard to memorize the same . But as English phrase says , " try try till you succeed " or keeping trying till you succeed . So we have to keep trying the tones till we succeed . Would like to thank the Professor for the video lectures . XieXie | [

A really great introduction to Machine Learning , with accessible and understandable concepts introduced in a way that I can grasp both the mathematics and the intention behind them . Some of the Programming examples are challenges , but they need to be to ensure that you understand the subject matter , but all of them work well once you have completed them . Andrew Ng is an engaging teacher and I ' m very happy to have done this course and will recommend it to others . | [

The course , as intended probably , is theoretical and gives a good snapshot of project management . Following the PMBOK guide and covering all the relevant portions in the limited time deserves an applause . The only area of improvement , I felt , was the case study . It could have been a little more detailed and has scope of increased level of difficulty . A good course overall and beneficial in almost all walks of work : ) Thank you ! | [

If you have some background programming in another language , and some familiarity with HTML / CSS , this course does a fantastic job introducing both Ruby and Rails . The first week walks you through machine and environment setup , the second walks through the basics of the Ruby programming language , and the third walks through using the Rails framework to develop simple websites in Ruby . All the lessons are laid out clearly with solid examples . That said , this is not a beginner course . It really only spends a week covering how to program in Ruby , and Ruby has some quirks that make it a challenging first language . If you ' re brand new to programming , do yourself a favor and take an introductory course first . | [

Very nice course with solid foundation and great examples . One recommendation would be to split the material on Week 4 into 2 weeks : Week 4 and Week 5 . The teachers would have more time for explaining every bit in the lectures so the difficulty would step up evenly between weeks . Other than the amount of material on last week , it is a good course and highly recommended ! its fun and well taught but i was having a little trouble understanding how to go about some of the topics here this course being my first ever programming class i have ever taken . all in all i enjoyed every bit of it and its something i see myself doing in the future . Two thumbs up ! ! | [

Excellent material , fabulous tutor , Ι ' d really be glad if I could have Professor Severance in real - life class . That ' s the only reason I do not give a straigth 5star reward , since I believe that the lack of real life interaction is not fully recovered by the quizzes and excercises , they should be more in my opinion . Of course , I understand that this course might also be intented for even a complete amateur and I respect the fact to let this quiz and test part simplified . I will definitely follow the next courses of the Python circle . | [
