I loved this class ! It was challenging but didn ' t take over my life ( I have a full time job ) , and I think I got a good handle on the basics . The professor is really entertaining and is great at teaching . I definitely recommend this to someone trying to get an introduction to programming .

Lectures and quizzes are okay , assignments are great to make you think deeper about the topics . I have to agree with a lot of the other course takers that you get very little help from the teaching staffs . However , I do feel that the discussion forums are enough to help you through all of the programming tasks . Programming assignments aren ' t really friendly to Haskell ' s list , and vectors are not available . If you use Haskell , you ' ll be forced to work with arrays or sequences , which are not as nice .

This course is a decent introduction to using the python pandas data science package , but suffers from some problems . The lectures are very brief and do not prepare you well for the assignments . The assignments are not well described and the autograder is very finicky . As a result , every week I spent several hours on the fora and stackoverflow to figure out what the autograder wants , instead of actually learning pandas . I managed to pass this course with ( what I know is ) subpar code , but we never get to see proper solutions to the assignments . The course has potential , but as it is now , I will continue this specialisation .

One of the best MOOC I ' ve experienced . Narration has been wonderful and straight from the heart . Examples so relevant and memorable so as to make an everlasting impression . It is undoubtedly on of the best ever MOOC ever commissioned by Coursera . Thanks Dr Siedel , thanks Michigan . J SinghBangalore

At first , I thought some views and methods could be ahead of conditions of my country . Because there is a significant difference in society behaviors and challenges . Whereas I understood more the lessons , I saw that there are brilliant and useful ideas and experiments for my city also . Some of them can be applicable and some of others of them are already doing . I ' d like to thank to all teachers .

Thanks Andrew Ng ! I really appreciate the idea of free education , especially one with high quality . I actually learnt a lot more than I expected from a online course via lecture videos and hand on practice approach . This course pushes my interest to learn further on machine learning topics and theories . Good job !

Extremely useful course . It not only helped me to learn scientifically - proven strategies of learning , but also inspired me to rethink my learning goals and highlighted areas I have either never thought of , or abandonend , thinking that it will take me more of resourses to master it , than I have ; however now I ' m positively sure that I can get back to my old goals

This course requires you have a good ability of programming about C . You also know some knowledge about the HTML , JavaScript . The course covers a broad range of software security . The hardest part for me is symbolic execution . If your basic knowledge about programming is weak , you need to read materials from Google to understand it .

Dr . Severance is great . He introduces you to coding in a way that is non - intimidating and feels completely natural within a couple of weeks . Instead of dreading class I found myself excited about attending everyday and was able to progress faster than the course outline due to his extremely clear and supportive teaching method . I ' m already reading data from files and it isn ' t even covered until the next course . If you take this class , read the book and you will do well .

I have enjoyed this course . It presented the one - health concept very clearly and what its aims are which were particularly interesting especially for me who is interested in antimicrobial resistance research . However , some improvements could be made . The presenters with accents / non - English speakers were a bit difficult to follow and the transcripts were somewhat inaccurate so it would be go to have proper transcription in that regard . Thank you .

Initially a little misunderstanding on the differentiation needed by the overseers of the course to relate to the diverse backgrounds of the participants . Formats and personal adaptations became more mutually understood and accepted . Course ended in strong accordance . The re - enactments and vignettes are excellent ! ! and goofy - - on purpose ) . This was the strongest component of the three so far .

The content was very insightful , it provided me with some lenses ( as promised ) to analyse different organizational issues and have deeper understanding of possible strategies for me as a change agent . The two things I ' ve missed were 1 ) some peer - graded assignment in addition to quizzes and 2 ) some list for future investigation / reading . Maybe you would consider adding those to future courses . Thank you !

Tons of value - - for free ! ! I hope in future iterations of this course you could include more tangible tools we can use to help grow our business . These lectures included a few resources - - but more could definitely be introduced . As a business owner myself , this course has shed some light on things I hadn ' t considered - - and offered a more academic approach to business . I hope in the future more " resources " could be included - - because I think many people considering starting their own business but don ' t realize how many excellent resources are available ( and many times for free - - just take Coursera , for example ! ! )

This course is really well put together . The lectures are easy to follow and explain all points very clearly . I appreciate the supplementary quizzes to help me cement the knowledge from the lectures . The course provides tons of extra resources , so that you can entrench yourself in the learning as much as you like - - or you can just follow the lectures to learn the essential . My only recommendation would be to add more in - video questions .

Amazing teachers , valuable information and top - quality materials ! Thanks so much for making this course - I gained a lot from it , especially from giving and receiving feedback from fellow students . The only thing I didn ' t enjoy much are some questions in the tests because sometimes they seem a bit irrelevant . I would recommend making the tests a bit more to the point and reducing the amount of questions ( especially the one in the final tests like " who inspired the angel and devil debate " : ) Thanks for your work ! ! !

Wish that there would be more insight in social entrepreneurial opportunitiesDifficult to find a group and have a platform for discussion . The discussion forum does not work as intended . There is too much noise . They course instructors should provide more information to begin with that it is essential to watch the videos and read the course material almost before the new week starts because of the fact that groups needs to be created and discussions and research with teammates have to be coordinated . It all seems rushed and not rewarding . I do not think that my outcome of this course has been significant because of the structure of the course and I regret that I have paid for all 3 courses .

Instructor , course materials , information , presentation , everything for most part was very good . Only complaint is the user interface needs a lot of work done so it behaves " normal " . . . Even trying to fill out this review is some what of a pain as it ' s just awkward . . . Phone access needs equal amount of improvements . However , other than user interface , everything was good .

I have a background in music education , and wanted to dive into my husband ' s world so I took this course . It has really helped me to think more like my husband .

The course was great . The tasks were a bit more complex than the ones from the first course , but they are still very fun . In the final assignment I was marked down on one aspect . I had every field in the new parcels layer but only got 4 points . I think it was a mistake from the grader .

I found this course for my 12 - year - old daughter . She is starting to get classes that depend on tests for the grade , and she was really unclear how to study effectively . I decided to take the course also , and my 6 - year - old son , who is highly motivated , participated with me . I got some key benefits from the course , particularly the pomodoro technique , which I am using . The side benefit to doing this " as a family " is that it gives us a vocabulary and common experience around which to discuss learning concepts together .

This course was very real , current and useful in my life . The content was well structured & delivered exceptionally well . I liked the fact that it was both theoretically robust and practically inclined , the examples utilised where relatable and easy to follow . I also appreciated the passion is the delivery of the course by the lecturer , her enthusiasm made watching all the videos worthwhile . Thank you for this introduction - it made a significant difference in my life the knowledge touch here is really good . however , the speed is a little bit quick . I paused and go back and forth usually . the last introduction of assignment 4 is not clear . I took quite a long time to figure what to use to calculate the price ratio and what to use to run ttest .

I enjoyed this course and learning , specifically how to adapt a healthier diet and the evolution of food in the US . The videos were interesting and the information was insightful and applicable to daily life . The only thing I might change in the course is having the professor incorporate definitions to some of the terms ( i . e . nutrient dense , , metabolic abnormalities ) in the videos , or as a supplemental document . I would recommend this course to others .

So much disjointed information . . . I felt absolutely crushed trying to learn and understand all this . Am waiting for another 8 hours before I can reattempt the quiz . Personally , I feel that this course assumes the student is automatically an expert in statistics ( simply due to completing the first intro to statistics course ) . The logical progression of how to approach different problems - and the terminology of the statements involved has been thrown out the window . If you ' re new to statistics , I suggest you should at least double the time allocation they provided . . .

I have learned how the English language has evolved ( opaque ) and the challenges this presents to those with dyslexia .

Extremely well done videos , Professor Sachs is articulate and clear . The videos are a bit lengthy 25 minutes each so this asks quite some time investment . The quiz are not easy , one must often look up charts and work with various statistical methods which were not always easy to manage - hence the 4 instead of 5 . However this does force one into mining world organizations for data so overall it ' s a good learning process . It never fails to amaze me how much data we have collected globally and for so long !

The lecture videos are not super helpful and the instruction and support for final project is somewhat lacking . You need a relatively solid background coming into doing the project beforehand . Just study the course material is not enough for you to complete your final project , in fact you need peer help or to read more materials to fully understand and finish the project . The quizzes compared to what is asked in the project is too simple and thus not constructive enough in the overall learning . Overall I would recommend you to have a solid background before proceed with this course if you want to improve your learning experiences .

As for information in course itself , it was interesting for me to enroll and to be part of the course . But I highly dislike that there was a feeling of that the lecturer is trying to remember any things right while the video goes . It is not a real class , it is a video and it could be done much more accurately . There were many many boring moments , while management itself is not a boring discipline , it is very interesting . Anyway I am glad I participated in the course .

I found the assignments to be sometimes confusing ( i read the description of a question , thought i was supposed to answer several steps at once , only to realise that the tasks would be broken down in muc more detail later ) . Once i figured out the style , it was much easier , and i would be sure to read entire assignment first . Additionally , i sometimes didnt know whether errata notes were relevant to the code i was actually using , or previous offerings of the same course . Overall though , very good ! Thanks !

A great course in a unique topic . It is very well made with a balance of theory in robotics motion control with practical assignments using the popular language Matlab . However , to enjoy this course thoroughly I think the previous course ( Aerial robotics ) is very necessary .

These courses on Ancient Life Evolution are best when they discuss how species developed , how they adapted and how they were discovered . The laundry listing of species in some of the lectures was a snooze fest however . It also repeated what was in other lectures for the week . I would have preferred more information on the ecosystem in which the critters dwelled . The Ancient Marine Reptile class did a much better job of presenting this info although it did some laundry listing .

Very good hands - on approach to practical machine learning . However , as the models get more complicated , some of the material isn ' t really explained very well , specially the last module about ' deep learning ' is quite superfluous . I also wish , the course favored providing a bit more mathematical intuition over just graphlab usage . All things aside , if you are really curious about machine learning you should take this course . Be hungry !

The lectures and explanations need more clarity and better instruction quality . The assignment questions were often nebulous . This resulted in lots of time wasted with the grader .

The assignments in this course take much more time than indicated . Feedback from staff is minimal . If you are not a good programmer , think twice . Nevertheless , the lectures are interesting and well taught . So if you do not want a certicficate , I recommend this .

Great course ! Emily and Carlos teach this class in a very interest way . They try to let student understand machine learning by some case study . That worked well on me . I like this course very much .

I am almost at the end of this course and I think it is excellent . The lectures are very clear and are a great starting point if you , like me , don ' t really know anything about Buddhism . I really enjoyed the connection made with modern psychology ; I am afraid otherwise I might have found it too vague and esoteric , but this grounded it more in every day life . I really feel this course has given me some valuable new insights with which to see the world around me and myself .

I really enjoyed this course . Professional , fun , filled with tons of useful information . I recommend to take the Lesson Design as well . Then it really clicks , all the theory they teach you is actually applied to all the courses of this Specialization in the videos , the assignments . reinforces the message😉 Great job team ASU👍😊

He teaches even worse then me . This course has no practical example . It ' s just introduction ( from start to end ) . When I enrolled in this course I was expecting that at the end of this course I will be able to develop an app or anything like that . But know I think that I have just wasted my time .

Very dynamic and didactic . The way Dr . BArbara Oakley and Dr . Sejnowsky developed this important course for us students also applies many interesting ways of understanding in a more natural way as well as clear explanation of the methods on how to get a better approach when we are trying to learn something . Its a universal course every student should take to start a very successful career .

This is one of the best courses in Coursera . This changes the way you study about a subject regardless of the field that you want to specialise in . Education psychology is one of the key things that helps you teach children how to learn . I believe if you know how to learn , you can learn anything ! . Must take . . I am taking this for the second time in the same year .

Very interesting subject matter , and I learned a lot . My biggest complaint is that many of the programming exercises have errors in them that haven ' t been fixed , despite this course having been running for years . This always left me wondering if an incorrect output was an error on my part , or an error in the provided code . Still , I thoroughly enjoyed the course as a whole and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a foundation in machine learning .

A very informative and easily understandable course ! I always fancied math , but never really got deep into it , so some of the primitives discussed here were new to me , but even so I was able to easily understand them thanks to Prof . Katz ! And of course it was super exciting to find out in which way are modern secure connections secure . 10 / 10 would pass again .

A well - designed course that allows me to understand the web development concepts . Each section is clear and flows to the next section . A great teaching method that makes you think and try out the changes . It does not matter if you make mistakes , the tutor as your back , and provides the before and after source code . Brilliant , other course providers should follow a similar method .

Thank you very much , the authors of this course ! First , to be honest , I thought the course will be boring , buy after first 2 or 3 lectures I was really into it ! I loved the short lectures , tips and tricks and the information how our brain works ! I really enjoyed the time spend and definitely will use the tips for the learning ! Thank you !

Only one assignment at the end , so you go through 3 weeks before being asked to code ( this seems like a big mistake for any programming course ) . The final assignment gives you a largely complete project and just asks you to make a few changes . You can ' t put that as a project on a resume , because you ' re doing 5 % of the work with your hand held through it . Worst of all , the code given to you does not adhere to JavaScript best practices , like local variables not being declared ( so that they become global variables , a big no - no ) , spacing being all over the place , etc . JavaScript has a bad reputation , and sloppy teaching with respect to best practices is very bad .

This course is very interesting , and everything is there should be known to start a business . But basically , it just says to respect everyone and everything . This course lacks some content . It repeats itself . It says the same things over and over again , just in different words . It ' s still a very good course , and it motivates you doing to do something with great values .

This was a very well structured course . Prof . Scott has delivered wach lecture with great clarity . As introduction course , it had a very good range of topics and models to learn from . The content is intuitive enough to apreciate the " fertility " of these models and apply them in various contexts . Many thanks , Looking forward to more such courses on modeling , Udaya Ranga

The course was a rapid cursory introduction to R . This being said , I recommend breaking the course into multiple separate courses and including more depth ( with further practice ) to guarantee that the student has truly achieved mastery . I supplemented the course with courses from DataCamp and Udemy , and only now ( after completing the course here on Coursera , reading the textbook ( s ) , and additional practice through the online training by Udemy and DataCamp ) can I say that I am gaining true proficiency in R . This being said , the course was very well organized , had great examples , and excellent lectures ( although the audio could be clarified by quite a bit using a higher - end microphone , preamp , interface , and affordable audio production software such as Reaper to clarify the voice ) .

Excellent course . If you want to learn the mathematical intuitions behind Lasso , Ridge and general ML concepts , this course breaks them down into details . This is the only course I ' ve found on the many MOOC sites out there that goes into this much depth . One downside is that Coursera lacks support in general , but I do not consider it downside of this course but Coursera ' s . In terms of frameworks , many people like me have completed the course using Numpy and Scikit - learn instead of Dato , so it is doable !

Very interesting and handy . I ' m Spaniard , so most of the things are basic for me such as the use of onion and garlic in meals , and the use of street market for shopping vegetables . But the recipes were fantastic and since I ' m a mother of a 1 - year - old child , I will put on practice soon . Thank you !

Week 3 application assignment is buggy . If you input correct answers they will be marked as incorrect . You must use trial and error to find the wrong answers the quiz is looking for . It ' s a badly designed assignment that wastes students ' time and creates a lot of frustration . Would not recommend the course because of it .

Best leadership course that I have taken . I wish this was available few years before and I would have done so many things differently to get my ideas forward and made the right impact to organization benefit . Great course , immense learning and insight . I would highly highly recommend to everyone who wants to understand the nuance of power and influence and use them to get there right ideas forward and avoid getting influenced with wrong ones . Go for it ! !

This was so far the best free online course I have done . Great videos in which Dr . Vázquez - Cognet well explained the Microeconomics Principles , in a lively interactive way while using good examples from a daily life . The weekly multiple choice quiz which could be repeated ( varying the questions ) until the subject is fully undertood and minimum score met also contributed to a good understanding of the subject . Unfortunately I got too little time left to participate in the discussion forums . This course motivated me to study further Economics related courses and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in the subject and who is new to Microeconomics like me .

An extremely well - structured and useful course . As someone who had only syntactical familiarity with Python , this course taught me a great deal about the ease and power of the language . Moreover , the technical knowledge included ( APIs , RegEx , etc ) is highly relevant and practical . Given that it ' s part of an introductory series , the difficulty level of the assignments is understandable . But providing some more rigorous optional assignments can be a welcome addition to the course . That being said , I would recommend it to anyone looking to explore Python and the power it grants with its simplicity .

Put simply , this course is well put together . Professor Andrew Metrick is an engaging lecturer and the materials assigned are very helpful in understanding the topic . If i have any recommendations i would suggest for a break down of abbreviations and concepts as i especially struggled given my non - financial background . Also , i still haven ' t figured out the discussion forum as in my opinion isn ' t as engaging . In all , thank you for a brilliant work . still redo and redo this course . : )

I ' ve never valued tests , nor flash cards , nor anything that I perceived as gimmicky learning tools . Learning was just learning . But I was wrong . Understanding your cognitive behavior and how memories and knowledge are formed has helped me grasp learning in a new intuitive way . I highly recommend the course !

This course is basic yet so powerful and will excite those who enroll that they would like to study the subject and that I feel is the most important objective of any course . I had already completed two game theory courses offered by Stanford university and still I found this course to be enriching . The course deals with basic conceptual knowledge of Game Theory and how and why it is useful and applicable in the world around us . I have read Professor Kandori ' s and he is one of the leading researchers in this field . I feel great to have been taught by such a faculty .
