Instructor is very good . His explanation about CONTIKI is simple super . Course Structure is very good . But , in my opinion require little bit elaborated explanation about ASSIGNMENT . Rather than everything is fine . Thanks to COURSERA .

Great course first of all . One problem about the course is probably going to be the lectures . The lectures are explaining fundamental basics in Swift , which are really useful , but they are not comprehensive enough . So for most of the students , I believe , will have to do a lot of self - studying to finish the final project . But still , the final project is challenging and interesting . Swift is not a hard language to learn , so after went through all the lectures and read some books on Swift programming , I was able to finish the project .

This continues Dr . Chuck ' s easing into Python . It ' s a great course for beginners but you should definitely augment the class with reading the book rather than just keeping it as a resource . The existence of the book is noted in the videos but it isn ' t really stressed , which is unfortunate as it ' s helpful . About the only thing I ' d appreciate would be more exercises to develop mastery rather than just familiarity .

I am very new to poetry and found the video lessons in this course very educational , as well as interesting and very light - hearted . I ' m not interested in writing my own poetry at the moment but feel like I ' ve broadened my education , and am now better able to assess what works and doesn ' t work in other people ' s poems . I ' m very glad I watched the lessons .

This is excellent course for anyone to understand what machine learning is all about . Prof . Andrew does a great job of explaining the concepts candidly . The course content is well designed both is content and structure . Would love to see an advanced version of the course where we apply the learning on some complex real world problems .

Not such a great course . Lectures don ' t cover what is needed in some assignments . Week 3 assignment was the hardest I ever took . Just plenty of work to be done and small amount of that work is going to stay with you . There is a lot of space to improve this course .

Decent coverage of the basics , but some of the data , tools and approaches used are out of date by 2 - 3 years which is particularly troublesome in the fast - moving social space . For example , they rely quite a bit on data from 2011 and 2012 and from social tools and reports from IBM . For someone completely new to the social space , this could be a great starter class . Just be sure to do your own research to supplement the data and be sure you ' re current . After grading assignments by other students , it was easy to see why the discussion portions of the class were flat : most either didn ' t invest in the assignments or didn ' t understand the materials . While I have found the discussion portions of other MOOCs to be equally interesting to the class material , I didn ' t have that experience in this session .

Excellent course ! In the first weeks , when the course started out with linear regression , I was very skeptical whether I would learn anything non - trivial here . But then I was very impressed how professor Ng managed to introduce Neural Networks until week 5 in a very clear manner . A great teacher gives you the feeling that what you are learning is easy although it is not . Great job ! The only point of criticism I have is that the programming assignements are not quite hard enough to solve , but it is still a 5 - star course for sure !

I am sure if you are familiar with the content or an expert programmer looking for an overview of a new language then this would be perfect but you do need to understand swift before starting this introduction to swift . The lessons felt very unstructured , unplanned and ad hoc almost like the people presenting didn ' t know they were being recorded , this meant that the examples given were contrived without consideration to the suitability to present the concept succinctly and would require anyone but an existing swift programmer needing to carry out additional reading which rather defeats the purpose of an " introduction to . . . course . A little scripting and lesson planning and preparation of content would have made the difference between this excellently produced and edited course being awkward and an effort to attend into a really useful reference for beginers of swift programming . To summarise , the obviously expert technical knowledge of the speakers and the quality of the editing are let down by rushed lesson content .

It is the first course I have successfully completed on Coursera . I had a vague background in programming from my undergraduate studies in Engineering , but I have always wanted to learn more . I have found this Course to be the right place so far . I think it’s oriented to anybody who wants to learn to program in general with no specific background and that definitely has been ideal for me . I am continuing with the next course , let’s see how it goes .

While this is a great course for introductory programming , I believe that it suffers from its focus on cokeskultpor UI design . The main issue I have with it is that these skills are not easily transferred to real world applications . I think some time spent on a basic introduction to tkinter would be good to help get people started on how to make their own programs . I found that the grading rubrick in particular focused too much on simple UI elements and not enough on making sure that the code was good or that the game even worked . For example , I had one person who had everything in pong perfect except that the score was added when the ball hit the paddle . This meant that the game as whole did not work as expected , but it only cost him 2 marks .

Aside from week 4 , I found this course to be little more than a commercial for various social analytics programs . Also , there ' s a Google + assignment . Google + wasn ' t relevant five years ago , let alone in 2016 . There ' s some potential in this course but it desperately needs to be updated for 2017 . This course may be helpful to people just starting out as social media professionals but if you ' re already working in this field , you will find this course incredibly dull .

A super course , and available at just the right time . With journalists and journalism under assault , it ' s time for news consumers like me to have a better understanding of what we and our communities are up against . I truly appreciate that now I have a framework ( and tools ) to look at what is out there , which is helping me know what I think better and gives me strategies to talk constructively with friends and family when talking about the news . The past election , and now these first weeks of the new administration , have been real brain bangers with respect to what passes for truth in the news . As I began , a super course , and available at just the right time !

The teacher is of the highest standard , finally someone who can make the complex , simple and interesting ! One of the best planned courses I ' ve seen , this is a course definitely worthy of a fee . What I ' ve learnt in the first 4weeks is beyond what I learnt in 1yr at university . Makes such a difference having a teacher that goes the extra mile to make something complex into easy . Very impressive .

The class is a pretty nice overview of metrics in general . it is more broad than it is deep , and sometimes the videos and explanations were not the most easily digested . While the content was helpful , this class could have been greatly improved if slides were provided instead of just a transcript . Finally , some of the explanations and definitions , though interesting , weren ' t often well tied together . The final assignment case study was definitely useful in thinking about several of the metrics covered over the four weeks .

I would not recommend this one to any paying customer . This is the second intro to Graphic Design class I have take on Coursera , and I found the way the material was presented in the CalArts course to be quite slow and pretty boring . Our assignments were simple and I felt no excitement in doing them . It would have been beneficial to see how these fundamental building blocks could be used in real life design . The other class ( by CU - Boulder ) made me want to continue learning , and I felt excited to complete the projects whereas with this class I was forcing myself to sit down to finish just the required ones .

I enjoyed this class , but the content feels amateurish . One major detracting factor is grading of the exams - a complete waste of time where there are multiple examples of contradictory slides to the quiz questions . The quizes often ask for information that is beyond the scope of the lectures and steadily becomes a process of just retaking exams until you get a 100 % . I don ' t think the quizes reinforced the material in the lecture but actually took away from the class . This class was at it ' s best during the recitals , where I actually got to understand the great strategies used in the videos .

Excellent overview of Ancient Greek history . Very much enjoyed the lectures with clear explanations of different aspects of Greek political , military and social structure and the differences between the different polis . Reading material was enjoyable as well - - appreciated the opportunity to read , or reread in many cases , Herodotus , Thucydides and Plutarch . The mixtures of readings also gave the opportunity to view different persons and events from different perspectives which was refreshing . I highly recommend this course to anyone with an interest in Ancient Greece or the beginnings of facets of Western culture .

The course material and the instructor ' s lectures are excellent . However the quizzes are programmed incorrectly - - marking wrong answers right and right answers wrong too often .

It can be nice to walk through this process with a lecturer . Ian Harris does it well and knows the content well enough . Most of this content however is given sufficiently in the pamphlet with the Arduino Uno Starter Kit . Some problems and applications above and beyond the starter kit ' s intro guide would be nice and appropriate for the course . Additionally , given that this is also supposed to be an intro to C , a bit more detail and some programmatic problem solving in C would have also added good value to the course .

Despite I guess the course has a pretty good coverage of the ML basics , it is definitely just an introductive class . In particular I was surprised by the low quality of the material . The following are my notes and suggestions : - - I found the lectures highly redundant , with many unnecessary repetitions - - using a vector notation ( like an arrow or a simple line on top of the letters ) throughout the course would have make formulas much more readable - - too much hand writing on the slides while talking : a better set of slides with blocks of text shown at the right moment would be much smoother and readable - - very very poor video editing ( many times it ' s clear some parts of the videos were meant to be cut ! ! ) - the desire to create a format suitable for people with a scarce algebra preparation lead to use not the appropriate terminology , which would be more correct and easier to understand . Just realize that ML is basically applied math , and without a good math knowledge it is almost pointless to approach the subject

I loved this course ! I learned so much about the music business , more than I learned as being a part of it as an artist roughly about the same time that Mr . Kellogg was working as an artist . Things have changed a lot and this course made me think about how it might change even more in the future and if there might be a place for an " older doll " like me . John Kellogg is a great teacher . He sited real experiences , and that ' s what made things stick for me . Thank you Coursera for a great course !

This is a great introductory course . The course materials are carefully organized , to avoid lengthy mathematical content , yet conveying the key idea of machine learning . The selection of the topic also seems quite reasonable . This course builds a somewhat solid ground for beginners . After finishing this course , one can either try to move towards the more theoretical side , maybe by reading the books such as Learning From Data by Yaser Abu - Mostafa , or the lecture notes / video of the Standford course CS229 , or the more applied and practical side , depending on the preference .

This class has been inspirational and informative to me ! It gives me strategies and tools to overcome some of the things that have impeded my constant learning . I will keep myself informed of what goes on in relation to learning how to learn . My time in the four - week journey to learning how to learn turns out to be one of the best moments in 2015 . I hope that that moment keeps making impacts on my future learning . Thank you so much !

The best course I ' ve had in Coursera so far . Magnifiscently explained and well - balanced with the practical assignments . I even found myself wishing there were more , despite being a very demanding course . Professor Ng did an excellent job and so did the mentors . My favorite course .

Excellent course . Instructors are design this course very efficiently . One has not to review course materials for the second time & before giving " Final examination " , if a little attention paid at the first occasion . Thank you very much Coursera & University of Leiden . Looking forward to do more law courses with you . Thanks again .

Dr . Chuck is very good at teaching this class ! His dedication to this course makes students know more about the essence of Python ! Go Dr . Chuck ! Go Python !

I ' m not exactly new to python , but my typical use - cases looked more like hacking rather then conscious programming . Said all this , I ' ve found the first block - introduction to Python , to be very basic and slow paced , but starting from the Web it is all good stuff only . It deserves to become one of the coursera classics . Great combination of pedagogical talent , humor an knowledge of the subject . It also tremendously helps that the course is backed by the book so it is always possible to look back for that " Introduction to Python " part , that I ' ve skipped ; )

Although I did not finish the course , I enjoyed and was very satisfied with the content . The lecturers , although not very fluent English , were the best and new exactly what they were teaching which made me very happy . I easily understood what was being taught from the beginning . Although my passion is Fashion Design , this course helped me understand more about the Fashion Industry and everything behind the scene within the Industry . I am very happy with the knowledge gained : )

It was a very interesting course , however it was biased toward Spanish history with the inclusions . I was really more interested in what I thought the course was supposed to be about anyway , Medieval Manuscripts . I had a terrible time deciphering the lecturer ' s English and , because I ' m not interested in a course certificate , the course projects were a waste of my time , though I can see that they could be fun and add to the enjoyment of the course .

Would like more exercises to test knowledge throughout the course , not just one large exam at the end . Would prefer less choices on final exam questions to better demonstrate one ' s knowledge of material , not test - taking skills . Professor Siedel is a wonderful professor with many years of both theoretical and practical knowledge . His real - world examples allow students to apply course materials beyond academia to the business world and life in general .

I wish I could rate this course higher but I didn ' t enjoy it and despite being 10 / 12 weeks into it , I ' m going to stop now . The videos are hard to follow , the examples are few and far in between , some explanations ( eg . exchange rates ) are really poorly explained . I ' m disappointed , I don ' t feel like I learned much !

This course got better as it went on . The first week , the teacher went through the entire plot of Harry Potter which seemed like a waste of time . The point was made long before the telling of every plot point in Harry Potter was done . I thought , really , I signed up for four months of this ? Then the lectures got better , learning the basis outlines and structures of plot is useful . Simple , but useful .

I have never been good at math nor chemistry but the professor explains the various processes in such a simplistic way that so far I passed the quizzes with a perfect score and I have a pretty good grasp of everything she ' s saying . Granted , I had to watch some explanations more than once but that ' s just my pace of learning . I ' m thankful for this online course and waiting for the certification to become available !

I thoroughly enjoyed this course . It was a narrowly - defined topic ( Questionnaire Design ) that was well - explored ; this makes the course feel like you are actually learning something and does not feel overwhelming in the slightest . You feel you are actually learning a skill rather than a subject . Further , the professors were clear in their teaching methods .

This course is a pure advertisement for IBM products . I entered the course expecting to learn about Raspberry pi and Python and got nothing our of it ! If you are really looking to learn about IoT , check out a course called " An introduction to programming IoT " by University of California , Irvine . I am taking this course right now and already learning a ton ! This course , on the other hand , is a total waste of time .

I really do not like the R language I think it is sloppy and inconsistent . This class did ok teaching the basics of R , but it did not do anything toward teaching testing of R code ( a key part of writing code ! ) best practices for modularization and factoring , and so on . In other words , it teaches you how to write R code that kind of works , but does not teach you how to write good code in R .

The course was quite difficult for me . The questions in quizes are sometimes hard to answer . Very often there is no simple solution . Or maybe my command of English was not sufficient to complete the course without several mistakes . Otherwise , topics were covered deeply and were thought - provoking .

The course is more an exercise in flexing Ivy vernacular than it is actually teaching . The learning curve is too steep to be useful to the majority of potential registrants . You ' re interested in this course either to ( a ) learn something about an exciting and ever changing field and / or ( b ) to have the Stanford logo on your LinkedIn profile . In both cases , move on . The curve is far too steep to be useful or to merit the countless additional hours of background learning the course should have done to bridge the gap .

I am a Saudi engineer who found this course pretty amazing course , never ever gone through similar course , indeed , I will revisit and pay for it ; reliable and sound basics of IE and Systems , looking for advanced course for the same or better coach to include them on my 2017 / 2018 developmental plan in coursera . I will send you my comments although I am not among top scored due to lack of time and lacking the good time management skills . However I am confident that I t will be of helpful as I am 12 years of experience in gas , oil and energy projects management and quality in leading energy companies in Saudi Arabia in addition to hold master degree of engineering management in 2014 .

Helped summarize the basics for a newbie like me . Glad I took it : ) Recommended . Although , I do recommend some more material on the last two weeks - I loved the concepts that were taught , but I feel there could have been more lectures on BST applications , given how powerful they are !

The course is very good , but would like to make three suggestions : 1 ) You don ' t 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
