Very clear lectures . focusing a lot on making students understand the algorithms in addiction to teaching the algorithms . Also assignments are very nice . They are really practical examples such that we get a taste of what machine learning can do without having to spend a lot of time . | [

I am very attached to this Course & would find it extremely difficult not having an affective reaction to it . This is the second time I have audited this Course & hope to audit it each time it is available . Dr . Wright is a wonderful teacher & presents some very difficult concepts in very clear , concise , understandable language . Thank you so very much for this Course . | [

The best course I ' ve taken on Coursera . Funny instructor and very well taught course . Lectures are concise and homework problems can become challenging but rewarding . I would recommend to anyone who is interested in learning programming with MATLAB . | [

This is a well structured course for people who are beginners and have enough to attract people who have programming experience as well . I am a programmer with legacy background and perl , I enrolled to this course so that I can mentor my juniors at work on python ; esp perl to python code conversion and attending this course is immensely satisfying from that objective . I will attend the other courses and probably build some materials so that I can cover the entire course 1 - 4 in a week . Thanks Dr . Chuck and team from coursera and University of Michigan . | [

Outdated and unsupported ! The code for the exercises was made for Eclipse ADT and Google dropped support for Eclipse a while ago . The official IDE for Android development is Android Studio now . I could import the project for Lab1 but I ' m unable to compile the tests and the program with Android Studio , I get a ton of errors . My post in the forums about this is unanswered for 3 days now . | [

Excellent course and great Professor . Prof . Andrew Ng . provides in this course a great introduction to machine learning algorithm and details the steps required for understanding the computation underneath . It ' s a long course and some of the assignments are challenging . That makes the completion of the course and the certificate of achievement even more worthwhile . | [

Pretty good course for the first time java programmer . It covers most of the basic algorithms required to understand by a computer scientist . Really like the idea of place introduction of iterator and comparator within this class . It really boost my understanding of JAVA programming language . Would like to recommend this course to all my classmate . It helps ! | [

I ' d say this was a pretty good introduction to Chinese . The main thing this accomplished for me was practicing the tones , which are very challenging . The vocabulary covered was very limited , and the course didn ' t really stress grammar , so you shouldn ' t expect to be able to form your own sentences after taking this course . But I think this is at least a good starting point . | [

A little basic for me . But it was mentioned this was meant for the absolute beginner . Nonetheless , as a developer that never dabbled in HTML , this dipped my curiosity for HTML5 . It ' s a solid start , better than reading about it somewhere in the internet . Definitely use split screen or a separate device to follow along with the coding . Even if it seems too easy . | [

Unlike the previous course in this sequence , this course provided little to no substantial information . While I fully agree with the premise of the course , the importance of leadership communication through storytelling , this course presented no sources , psychological research , or evidence to defend its arguments . It provided great " lay advice " with little to no research base . I would not recommend this course for anything beyond casual reading . It is not substantiated . | [

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

The materials are great and easy to understand . In the videos , professors articulates the content well . I ' ve learned basic JavaScript , CSS and HTML , which might help me in the future . I don ' t know when and where I will use it right now . But It has been an thrilling experience to gain knowledge . | [

Really good course BUT be prepared for a very fast pace of the lectures . I ' d placed in the " advance beginner " or " intermediate low " level , therefore , you need to have previous knowledge of Python . As in College , lectures and assignments are somewhat related , but you will spend some additional time investigating by yourself to get the appropriate responses . Again , just like College where Lectures are level 2 - 3 but assignments are level 7 - 8 ( out of 10 ) . | [

Beware this course , especially if you are new to this area ( despite what the course / specialization says ) . There are very few examples to clarify and illustrate the different topics of the course , but what ' s worse is that the assignments are almost completely divorced from the instructional videos the assignments and especially the final project are much more complicated than anything presented in the instructional videos , so there is no knowledge basis from which the student can operate to complete the assignments / projects satisfactorily or smoothly . I am extremely dissatisfied and wish I hadn ' t paid for this specialization . Beware . | [

I enjoyed this course . Professor Holbo developed an effective course for a " philosophy - gentile " like myself . I especially like the Lectures 7 and 8 where Professor Holbo compare and contrast Plato ' s philosophies to two modern empirical scientists . I believe this was a very effective way to get the Platonic lessons through to students . It is also an excellent thought - provoking technique to get people to think about their morality , ethics and spirituality . | [

Lectures are great ! And it would be better if we can see all the code from video , yet in week 1 lecture3 some function been blocked and I am not sure if I do it right by myself . Download code may be an option , yet it is better for us to type code by following the lecture , because downloading makes me lazy , typing code by ourselves is a good way to learn .

The material was exceptional , but as I came to found out , that the assignments were watered down with respect to the earlier version of the course that was available in 2014 . Please work to get back peer - reviewed assignments . Also , Prof . Hornstein ' s informal manner and way of teaching greatly helped in understanding the concepts . Thank you University of North Carolina and Prof . Hornstein for this wonderful primer on Environmental law . | [

Great course ! Goes over proper statistical inference and its interpretation from multiple perspectives . The hands - on R exercises are invaluable .

A lot of material is presented here which is both good and bad . You will find yourself googling a lot of things as the videos cover certain aspects quite quickly , even some that are important to the assignments . If you have the time to research some of the concepts on your own I say go for it . However , if you don ' t have much time or you are a complete beginner I would maybe try something else . | [

The only complaint I have about this course is the horribly irritating music at the beginning of each lecture video . I would have my headphones in , volume up so I could hear the lecturers clearly , then when the next video would start there would be this terrible music that started very abruptly . If I was very quick I could mute my volume until it finished , but I think this is totally unnecessary . PLEASE consider changing this , as it will affect my decision to pursue further courses in this specialization | [

This course was really excellent in comparison to many of the other courses in this specialization due to Professor Gavin Brown ' s use of metaphor and analogy to make more complicated content clear and Dr . Peter Keegan ' s interesting insights into taking minorities into consideration in our teaching practices . The case study of the Maori in New Zealand was extremely interesting . If more courses had been like this one , getting through the entire specialization would have been a much more enjoyable task and not nearly as arduous . | [

I entered this course with no coding experience , and I can definitely say I am disadvantaged because of it . The lectures are great explanations of the different commands in R , and the projects are a great playground of R ' s different capabilities , but the lectures and projects are too difficult to approach using just the lectures . That being said , this course ' s difficulty provides students like myself the opportunity to learn how to ask questions and seek resources for the programming . Overall , I do not enjoy this course - mainly because it is very difficult . However , the course is structured logically and provides ( what I assume the majority of students ) a comprehensive introduction to R . | [

Unacceptable assignments length ! The reason somebody would enroll to distance programme is due to personal high workload . It took me 2 weeks ( not 6 hours as tutor mentions ) to complete half of the second assignment and I am about to tell that I learnt nothing about MongoDB . The videos cover the very basics and in order somebody to complete the assignments needs searching in the internet . The videos must change to include more details about the presented topic . I am about to drop out of the specialization only because the specific course . | [

The courses are great . I enjoyed them a lot . I have one comment on the JavaScript topics though . Key concepts like JavaScript objects , closures , module pattern and Immediately Invoked Functions are not covered . I understand that JavaScript is a very broad subject but a quick review of those key points would be great for a student to continue reading further on its own . | [

This course was very useful for me in terms of remebering the Busines and Entrepreneuship concepts . This course is designed in easy and simple way to get knowledge on specific vocabulary . Teachers speak not fast and it is great for those who just starts to learn English for work or passing language exams . Course also have very bright , clear images , definitions and moreover it includes grammar classes . I can definitely advise this course that is led by teachers from Penn Unniversity . | [

Really a great course , with focus on the concepts and mathematics of image processing . More academic type course rather than a hands on one . Less weight given to video processing . I wish there was a bit more programming and practical assignments to accompany this compendium of DSP knowledge . Thanks alot ! great and easy to understand . Finished it within a week if you really get into it . Recommended for beginner ! It might take you slighter longer , but if you are really into it you can finish it faster then the recommended time . | [

You are not actually writing any code for this particular course . The assignments are just taking screenshots of running code that is already provided to you in the code repository for this course . The lectures are great , there is a lot to learn from them but the assignments are a total bust . Not worth it for the money , but go for it if you want to complete the entire specialization | [

The content and the assignment were of high quality and I really enjoyed the case I had to work on . So overal the course was very good , but negative was that the course was a bit too long I understand Coursera needs to finance the course , so it is better to have a long one and earn a lot of subscription fees . Bu the extra review rounds felt redundant , and because the course was so long it was difficult to keep focussed on it . | [

- - - - - - - - - way too much time is devoted to introducing definitions and way too little time is given for student practicing and review . the presenter ' s accent is constantly impeding instant recognition of what he ' s saying . the subtitles sometimes don ' t accurately represent what he ' s saying . sometimes there are misspellings - which makes it even harder to know what he ' s saying . this student was inundated with formulas that needed to be practiced - and i didn ' t even have time to write them down ! | [

So many equations presented without explaining why these things work or how they are derived . I ' m having a hard time seeing the relevance . Also , I learned a lot of these statistics in college and the explanations provided in these lessons actually confused me about things I already know . Very disappointed in this course . Especially since part 1 of the specialization was so good . | [

A brief but interesting introduction to HTML . Very few practical examples and exercises , but it does cover the basics like : syntax , semantics , what to pay attention to while creating own website . Love the way the material is presented by Mrs . Lent and will finish all three remaining courses . Combined with the HTML & CSS course at CODECADEMY I have the ability to write simple html , read somebody else ' s code and find resources necessary to get me started with my own page . Till now I always thought HTML and web design was boring , well not anymore ! I would recommend this course to somebody who is only starting to learn HTML . | [

I found this a hugely useful course . I really liked it ' s minimalism and found it a great writing prompt . My only criticism was the way the feedback and critique is set up . I found it didn ' t encourage people to do written analysis of what they liked and didn ' t like . Sometimes I didn ' t myself because after I wrote a critique , I would loose it by pressing the submit button before the post button . | [

The best teaching course ever . I have learned so much and I am thankful to all ASU and COursera team to upload such an amazing course . I have learnede how to improve my teaching methodology and the importance of keeping the lesson conversational , how to understand each kind of teaching approach to use their advantages to the fullest . I am thrilled ! ! 1 | [

Excellent lectures , let down by the difficulty of the assignments . While the tutors clearly know their stuff , I found the assignments really quite challenging and of limited educational value due to the mixture of new concepts introduced by the lectures along with new ( to me ) mathematics or CS that also needed to be grasped . I ' m an experienced professional programmer with the EPFL ' FP in Scala ' and FRP courses under my belt so I thought I knew what to expect but this was much more time consuming than I ' d thought . | [

I dislike this course because I have to complete so many assignment in one week . Instructions could have improved and slides could have improved rather than using chalkboard . Sorry there are a number of times I have to rewatch the videos and still dont understand . Hence I even have to place myself in another slot because I could not finish the assignment . Please improve on this module so that it is more enjoyable for learners who really want to learn . Thank you . | [

I am getting started on Machine learning journey . I am happy and very grateful to have found this and started with this course . It provided me overall perspective on various machine learning algorithms and their possible application areas . I sure hope to be able to build on this knowledge and be able to apply to real life examples . Thank you Andrew Ng for setting me up for furthering my skills in this field . | [

This course feels a lot like it ' s being taught by a non - teaching professor . The lectures are very long , not chunked for easy viewing ( to the point where I couldn ' t download to my phone for offline / off - wifi use ) . There are very long locally - hosted readings ( so they ' re hard to print and you can ' t add them to an offline reader app ) , and the Reading section for each lesson seems to be a bibliography ( rather than actual reading assignments ) , because there are no links and some refer to " Selections " without giving page numbers or , in at least one case , a multi - volume book . The information is comprehensive and very valuable , but the delivery is very lacking as a MOOC . | [

The course is well structured and quite informative . Instructors bring in real life situations to use different tenses , this is helpful for the learners as it is relatable . The only draw back is that our work is corrected by the other learners and that correction is final . I scored 98 % in the final assignment as the other learners assessed it and they didn ' t give me the correct score . I wish I could appeal to re - check it ! | [

There are steps that are missing at times which require you to scour for help . There are also quirks that aren ' t mentioned that other students have to point out . Unaddressed questions in the discussion board required escalation . Feels rushed and it ' s hard to learn for a beginner . Feels like you ' re just going through the motions and copy and pasting code . | [

Although much of the content seems common sense it is probably necessary to build a common foundation here for later courses . The peer assessments are potentially interesting but , in practice , the majority are so trivial - - 3 or 4 sentences repeating back material from the lectures - - as to be hardly worth reading . Since there is no real qualitative assessment in the peer grading , the work put in by a minority is not acknowledged nor the shortcomings of many highlighted . The instructor is unbelievably upbeat and animated which some will love and others . not . I tend to be in the latter camp but recognise this may be due to cultural differences or simply that I ' m a boring old sod ! | [

I took this course with a special interest on the musical aspect , namely the blues , of course . In that regard the course is very superficial , but has some interesting stuff even so . The other aspects of literature , painting , and the more popular arts ( kilts , oral traditions , etc . ) where a nice surprise . This course gives a view of a cultural aspect of America that is very interesting and mostly unknown , particularly , I guess , to a non American . I advise this course to anyone who is interested in ethnology , folklore and popular art and music and is not already familiarized with the American South . | [

I sincerely enjoyed this course . The instructor was clear , concise , and obviously passionate about the subject matter . I appreciate that reading materials were complimentary to the videos . I can say I actually walked away with information I can apply to my career . I gained a new perspective about usability ( testing and implementation ) that I will be employing in my network authentication practices and policy development . | [

A five - week class on biological mechanisms of perception of speech and music by humans . The topics include sound signals and sound stimuli and their perception with the human auditory system , differences and likelihood in the perception of vocalization and vocal tones in speech and of music , biological interpretation of scales , and the impact of cultural differences onto music . The course is rather a prolonged description of the research field than a proper part of general education . Its real subject is certain topics in biology , not music . Only a number facts discussed may be of interest for most music student , and these are contained in any decent introductory textbook of music anyhow . | [

I found the course informative , interesting and well presented , with two exceptions : a . There was some use of profession - specific terminology / jargon , which is problematic when addressing a target audience from outside the same profession . b . It is repeatedly stated in the course that no two interventions are done the same , and yet only one intervention simulation is used . I would have liked to see multiple simulations covering a range of possible interactions , to afford a more comprehensive understanding of survivor reactions and appropriate intervention responses . All in all , I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found myself eager , at the end of each lesson , to get stuck into the next . | [

This is a great course . I liked the teaching style which was both competent and conveyed the material in an interesting , never boring way . Even though it is some time back now that I dealt with math during my studies , it was easy to follow the course , because the math required was refreshed when needed and kept to a minimum . It would have been interesting to hear a little more about the inner workings of SVMs , this topic was handled a little too short for my taste . All in all , it is a pity , that professor Ng does not offer a corresponding specialization . I would enroll immediately . | [

I like the assignments , there are needed to practice and see the potential use of the material class . Lectures are very easy to follow with several examples that help you to remember previous concepts . Maybe I would like to see more examples ! | [

A very interesting and useful course for those who want to learn how to clean data in Python . I loved the opportunity to work directly on the notebook as I was listening to lectures . I think that more emphasis should have been put in the pros and cons why and how of using the pandas lib . functions in order to accomplish tasks . Assignments were very instructive and well explained by staff in the Discussion ForumMany thanks to the staff and to U . of Michigan for the course . | [

In short presentations , Doug manages to give insightful tools to crafting a fine - tuned poem . He makes learning about rhyme , metaphor and scansion uncomplicated while he hones your focus , so your writing can surprise you . The class exercises and community feedback help create a classroom of learners . I was inspired . For the first time I understood iambic pentameter , trochees and scansion . The best tool was learning how to revise , how to look for the turn in the poem and expand that turn into something unforeseen . | [

Loved this course . The lecture videos were very clear , well framed , loved the white background and the instructor was always looking at the camera . The animated illustrations provided made the lecture extremely fun to watch and a lot easier to understand . Barry is an excellent presenter , well spoken , fun , pleasant and speaks in a welcoming tone . What I loved about this course is the nature of the assignments which stressed the point of actually doing negotiations with other classmates , it forced me to interact with complete strangers from different countries and review the work of others , which was an immensely pleasant experience . great . thx to dr oakley for wonderful videos n i liked her style of teaching . always with a smiling face ! | [

There is absolutely no supervision on this course . My essay has been sitting in a student review cue for two months now - so , no completion of course and the program has the audacity to mark me as ' late submission ' . I have reviewed 7 papers ( requirement of 3 ) and am shown as being deficient . It is as if I dropped into a void . I paid a decent amount of money to attend this course and very disappointed that it is simply run on auto pilot with no place to go for resolution , questions or help . I would NOT recommend taking this course and would better advise you to find something in another online teaching program or course within Coursera that has at least a modicum of personal interaction . | [

I ' m graduated in System Analysis , not Computer Sciences , and learned to program only by experience . After 20 years it ' s a good deal but still I missed the theoretical background and this always annoyed me . I knew and used to make good use of all the structures presented in this course but never could quite explain how or why , or talk in asymptotic notations . Now I can . I didn ' t stop here , I do take some topics to deep dive during the lectures . It ' s being a great experience and I only wish I could have more time to keep myself always enrolled in some course . | [

Exceeded my expectations about how much I would be able to learn and develop about the subject , the Law . Completing this course made me extremely and surprisingly grateful with myself and thankful to the Prof . Ayres . Learning during this course were a wonderful experience , and learning more than you thought you would do is a feeling like " a searching for happiness " . This course allows you to receive knowledge and to start to practice it , and after it , you feel able to continue to improve , shaping the understanding in your mind and feel that is a knowledge to be carried with you the rest of your life . | [

A very enjoyable , engaging course which touches on the fundamentals of Linguistics . I found the professor , as well as the assistants delightful , and the language informants were also very exciting to have . It was challenging at a few points despite my background and interest in Linguistics , however , it was well worth the effort . I sincerely hope I can take more courses from Leiden , or perhaps study there one day . This course reaffirmed my interest in Leiden from 10 years ago . | [

A good course , giving a thorough understanding of the various types of renewable energy , their issues and opportunities . I cannot rate the course higher because some of it is so out of date . It really needs to be re - done . The Paris Agreement wasn ' t mentioned , some of the research is from the early 2000s , many of the lectures are at least 3 years old . This is an area that is changing rapidly , monthly , and this course can ' t really be seen to be current any more . Particularly the politics section in week 8 . | [

Definitely a " must - take " course . Machne Learning is an important tool for a variety of branches of science and engineering and Andrew Ng has a great way of turning complicated techniques into easy - to - understand pieces . The programming assignments may require a learning curve for those who have never used a Matlab / Octave environment , especially using the vectorized operations instead of loops but that is also well worth the time and effort . If you check question - and - answer sites on the Internet , you will probably find that this is the most recommended beginning course for related branches of science and engineering . | [

As a current medical student , Medical Neuroscience here on Coursera really equipped me to perform well in my studies in our school ' s neuro course . I really appreciated the concise yet thorough lectures from Dr . White throughout the course . I HIGHLY recommend this course to anyone interested in the brain and especially those students enrolled in a neuro course in their current studies . This course supplemented my regular class lectures and assignments very well and helped me to master the content much more efficiently and smoothly ! | [

A truly fantastic course . Extremely useful , practical , relevant content and examples , plus such a great teacher as well as very helpful course staff and other students . Thanks Andrew , team and the rest of the students . For anyone considering doing the course , note that the time requirements can be a lot - the lectures are fine but two or three of the assignments took far more than 3 hours ( if you plan on actually battling through the coding this is relevant . I ' d highly recommend that anyone considering doing the course does the assignments since this is where the real magic happens - Andrew quite deviously leaves a bit of the theory to be fully worked out by yourself in the assignments ) . | [
