Professor is really thoughtful . Covers all of the questions that I have right after each part ( with the help of the imaginary classmates ) . Really helpful . Love Professor ' s sense of humor . And I can see professor is a really experienced teacher in the accounting category .

The ideas are good , but I dislike the presentation . It ' s hard to read the screen and quotes when they ' re only on the screen for a few moments . Lengthy lists are presented , however , I need to pause the video if I want to know anything that ' s on the list beyond the first two points . These are often the only points explained . If one is only concerned with the spoken word , then you ' ll gather an okay amount of information .

For a long time , a dreamt with this kind of course and this level of teaching . I believe that this course represents the magna opus of what Coursera ' s mission fosters to be . It is enlightening , complete and passionate in so many ways that make this intangible asset almost physical . My only advice is , just take this course and embrace what you will learn because it can actually change you and luckily your environment as well .

Highly useful lectures . The classes can be more effective by active participation of more students simultaneously . A brief insight into derivation of some basic concepts and introduction to fundamental difference between different kinds of members used in engineering applications can be added . Thanks for the lectures ! Practical demonstration of the problems provides a better clarity .

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr . Chris for allowing me to do this amazing course . I love the enthusiasm that he has whenever he is discussing different topics . I absolutely loved doing this course and just wish that there was a more in - depth course which followed The Horse Course . I would recommend this course to everyone wishing to learn more about horse ' s and donkey ' s . Thank you again !

I enjoyed the course , I learned a lot about rule development , difficulty evaluation , along with other elements in game design . The peer feedback was important . As someone who designs games , input from your potential customer base is crucial . They definitely helped me design a better game . I could see the improvement from the first week to the last week . Thank you .

The course was great . Everything is explained simply yet with a great amount of detail . The staff was superb in their support and responsiveness . The only reason I didn ' t give it 5 stars is the length . I feel like the JS / AJAX portion could / should be two weeks instead of 1 .

A bit lost sometimes . The course was remodeled after previous ones obviously and it seems a little chaotic sometimes . Not sure to get all the message that was intended to be passed . Sometimes the exercice are way simpler than the session contents . Still I ' ve enjoyed ( almost ) every moment of the course and I am eager to go on ! Thanks !

The content was really neat and definitely not something I had been exposed to before . I really liked the quantitative parts of the course and wish there had been more time spent on that and more quiz questions on that . The reason I am ranking this 2 stars is that I felt the quizzes were unreasonably difficult ( or perhaps they had bugs ) . Week 2 quiz I had to take multiple times and really couldn ' t figure out what the correct answer was . Looking at the discussion boards I believe my sentiment is shared . I have taken multiple coursera classes ( Astronomy , Astrobiology , Calculus ) and these are by far the most difficult quizes I have encountered .

I think the professor is clear an concise ( I know , the word " clear " is not easy to define ) . The content is very interesting , and definitely relevant . It might be so that I won ' t use EVERYTHING I learned here in my daily life , but I definitely have tools to provide better arguments , and debate other people ' s arguments . Some parts of the course are heavy , but with a little bit of effort and dedication , one can follow .

I have a Masters degree and until I took this MOOC I had somehow gotten used to the ridiculous notion that I had learned everything that I needed to know . I am pleasantly amazed at how much I still don ' t know and I am very excited to learn more . I have even started reading journal articles by Page and Zellner because I am very facinated by the models shown to me in this course . Thank you very much for making this material available .

The testing in this course is horribly crafted . Not is it only too easy thus not actually testing students what is learned , the answers for some of the questions are incorrect . On the very last quiz , I was not able to finish the course because the answer for one of the questions was incorrect . In answering how to translate " South , " the answer should be " nánbian , " but when I selected this option , it was marked wrong . Therefore , I have to wait 7 more hours before selecting an incorrect answer to complete the course .

Despite all the bad reviews this course got I told myself to give it a try to refresh my antic prior knowledge and since it is for my personal usage and not a career I m not interested in a certificate . So I went through all the open sites which were extremely disappointing . Since I was warned by the reviews , I was not even tempted to pay to unlock further pages . I attended many interesting courses on Coursera , but this one is simply a waste of time from the very first moment .

The topic is interesting , the course content is presented clearly , and the lectures are informative . While the assignments can be challenging , they really help to reenforce the lessons . From what I gather , the class was recently moved over from an older Coursera model / design . This is frustratingly apparent at times . Some information can be difficult to find , particularly in the Discussion section . I would love to see this class updated to match the quality of some more recent classes I have taken .

This course is a very good introduction to programming in general and covers all the basic concepts that is used in most of the programming languages . The lecturer makes things interesting with a sense of humour . The assignments which comes later on can be a tad difficult for someone new to programming , but as the professor says , stick with it , solve it , and the feeling you get when you finish it is unparalleled . All the doubts and queries in the discussion forums are answered quickly and efficiently . Great course and a great experience over all .

The course is out of touch with reality and systematically underplays the Paris Agreement , progress of renewable energy and EU emissions mitigation , says absolutely nothing about climate science . At times the attitude is down right hostile and disgusting . Will share these observations widely . We are in a climate emergency and need to do everything we can . When I was taking this course , my city is going through severe flooding and the country is in yellow alert stage due to abnormal thunder storms . You should be ashamed of yourself for pushing this garbage .

This is a very thorough introductory course to the field of Machine Learning . I would have given it 5 stars , but towards the end , I felt the lessons got a bit sloppier . New concepts not thoroughly explained , sloppier slides , and even a lecture video missing at one point ( had to find a link to it on youtube ) ! Still a very solid , instructive course , though .

This is an excellent code for both beginners and novice programmers who want to improve their problem - solving skills . This course does not only teach the languages but also teaches the best ways to approach a problem , and how to implement our approach into coding . I have learned various image editing techniques , gained domain knowledge and even built my own full website . The only downside is that the javascript libraries which is used in most of the exercises is written by Duke itself so I ' m not sure if I ' ll be able to use them outside the course . But these libraries really helped understand the process .

Very slow paced . I appreciate that it is bringing me up to speed for the next courses but I found the learning pace to be a bit slow with very simple test assignments . The practical code implementation assignments were great . I found they were an effective way to learn

I tried other complex Unity3d courses online , and this one beats them all in the way it is built stage by stage . It doesn ' t pile too much information from the start , and lets you use pre - generated complex assests first , and only later explains them gradually . Even though I had some basic tutorial in Unity3d I couldn ' t imagine getting that far within a month , investing only about 3 - 4 hours on the lectures . The projects themselves consume as much time as you want / have to put into , with at least 3 - 4 hours on average , but if you want to really learn and improve your skill , it requires a lot more than that .

This course is absolutely awesome ! During 4 weeks I realized that there ' s no such fun as making games in the world ! Also with the help of modern tools ( like Unity game engine ) it is very easy even for the beginners .

This course gives a good overview of GIS . It helps in becoming familiar with ArcGIS software and also teaches a lot of fundamentals that can be generally applied to different GIS products as well . But looking at the expenses of using ArcGIS for commercial purposes , it would have been great had there been some sort of additional , optional demonstrations of other products . . For a small - medium business , ArcGIS doesn ' t seem viable at all .

You have to use adobe illustrator to make the infographic and I didn ' t think the course did a good enough job giving the basics for that . I had to do a lot of googling to figure out how to do stuff on my own . All of the assessments are done by the people in the course and I thought people were a little too harsh . If someone is completely new to AI then it is a bit much to expect the infographic to be magazine quality .

I really enjoyed this class . I would say that it is a lot of work in a short period of time . Also there were some issues with the peer review process . For example not knowing the criteria we would be graded on before submitting the assignments , many students unable to get enough reviews to move forward especially if they had to revise their assignment . Hopefully , this will be worked out for future versions . Overall , it was an interesting process .

Although better than the previous course , it still was not very insightful . I wanted to know the components of the Integrated plan and not how someone was successful . Majority of the class was just copy from Stokes book . You can take that book and learn it yourself . The style of teaching does not really challenge or give insight .

The videos for this course seemed to be 30 % recap of the prior lesson , and 20 % restatement of what was learned . Some even duplicated their own content in the restatement . The material covered was simply running through each of the menus in Tableau . Again , this material may be of use , but would be better as a primer for the class rather than presented as useful , paid content . Terribly disappointed .

A quick warm up course for new learner in R . I spent a week to went through the course material and most of the experiment / programming tasks . Now feel quite comfortable to basic R . The course might be improved if more time are spent on some concrete case studies . Some useful functions / routines like str , csv header preprocessing are very handy and it is great to learn these . The last part , debug and profile seem not big concerns for new learners .

I didn ' t like this course as much .

The course provides a sizeable amount of pretty cohesive material , which can still be understood by non - CS students . It ' s very practical and it includes a very nice mix of quiz tests and great MATLAB / Octave programming assignments . After going through the assignments I started wondering about other problems which data sets I can plug with small modifications into the completed solutions . Andrew Ng keeps a great balance between explaining important details and skipping over parts that require straying too much from the main topic of the lecture . I still don ' t have very deep or broad knowledge in the Machine Learning domain , but it feels like the course doesn ' t miss anything of the fundamentals . Overall , I ' d definitely recommend the course to CS students , high - school students with interests in the computer science area and even specialists in other areas with some knowledge in linear algebra with interest in the AI and ML domains .

The video classes are informative and very clear . The exercises during the classes were thorough and allowed me to apprehend the concepts at a good pace . My only problem were the auto - graded exams . Sometimes the questions are not crystal clear and the auto - grader isn ' t intelligent enough to discern between a logical mistake and some detail about table formatting . Fortunately these problems are discussed in the forums and usually one can get clues on what they can be from the mentors .

The problems are interesting , the course is great . However , the problem sets in this programming challenge are often not so well - defined , which makes it really difficult to solve ( especially the dataset problem ) . The solution of the problems usually turns out to be quite simple , but is not applicable to a large set of problems , only to the particular dataset that is given ( and the characteristics of this dataset is not given ; so I end up thinking about all possibilities that might occur for that dataset , which makes the problem more difficult ) . The examples given in the problem set are also not sufficient to describe the characteristics of the problem clearly . However , I really appreciate the whole courses , and I think it has been a great experience to go through the courses ! Thank you very much !

Professor Severance is awesome . I really like how each video is an in - depth look at a specific example and that he tells you what to ignore and when . I think his sense of what ' s important is spot on as I ' ve already started to apply some of his lessons to personal work and find that as I work through personal projects , the next question I have is usually covered in the next lecture or soon thereafter . The videos build on one another in a very coherent manner and the assignments are applicable to what you learned . I think the assignments could be a little more challenging and that more references to the book should be included in the lectures as the book is also very helpful and a great primer for each week ' s material , especially when it comes to understanding parsing XML and JSON more . I think more chapters on this in the book could be very helpful though .

We are getting basic ideas , but going through all the information structuring the ideas too quickly , with NO examples / limited examples , which is what will teach us the most . Then , we get to the quiz with questions where we have to apply real life examples to the structured learning and it ' s very difficult . Instead , too much time spent on videos of " role playing " - just spend time giving proper examples we can learn from instead of blasting through them . Furthermore , the professor is difficult to understand a lot of the time . The visuals are the best part of the course .

Very well designed and thought through . A lot of information that you can continue to develop by yourself . It gives you the tools and talks about processes which you need to surround yourself with . The only thing I lacked was a bit more in depth for some of the latter assignments .

This is a fantastic course ! While the content is reasonably technical , it is taught in such a way as to make it accessible to a wide audience . The Teaching is top notch and the material is communicated in a way that is not only engaging but concise and easy to follow . I have already implemented some of the leanings from this course in my work as a geologist which has led to some significant improvements and findings . I would highly recommend this course to ! it ' s a good course , helps a lot to understand things about pronunciation and helps you to feel more comfortable when speaking in english . The only problem that i find whit this course isn ' t about the course it ' s about the peer to peer grading , is hard to be objective with a big variety of accents and pretty hard to grade sometimes , not in all cases . Also is a short course , the assignments are very simple and that makes it an easy going course , i would recommend it for intermmediate english stundents .

Great course , and great lectures ! I would make the quizzes and coursework more rigorous for those who ' d like to learn a bit more and be challenged . From this course , I ' m interested in pursuing an online Master ' s degree sometime in the near future ! Thank you . Sebastian

Great course ! Easy to follow , useful , and very practical . At the same time , if you want to understand deeper why things work the way they do and / or the math behind it , the lectures give you good directions to look further into it . The programming assignments are a bit on the basic side ( in terms of what you have to do vs what they give you ) , but are still great to put these ideas into a practical setting , and the optional parts help you explore the applications in more depth . Really glad I put the time into it . Totally worth it .

Great lectures and nicely explained , apart from one lecture ( 6th - maybe it was me , not understanding the topic properly ) . For the future , I suggest to have more " visible " support of the lecturers ; lecturers should address us directly and enage us more to interact with the content as well as our classmates . Moreover , and I am speaking subjectivily , I found all topics very simple . To deepen my understand , I would suggest to have compulsory essays to elaborate the aquired knowledge . Thank you for your effort !

I would strongly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn songwriting techniques . Pat Pattison is great and makes learning fun ! I feel I have learned so much in such a short time . Loved every minute of it and I hope some day to be able to take other courses with Pat !

Feels like a money grabber rather than teaching anything useful , when designing character for video games is also important the skill you have or obtain while doing it and this doesn ' t place any emphasis into it . So for the price the charge in the certificate it really feels like a money grabber rather than teaching anything useful at all . Other schools like Gnomon WorkShop and DVDs like " Eat3D " and many others out there , which gives e more content for a fraction of the price they charging here ! It needs to be deeper and more robust if this course wants to stand out , right now is not .

Great course to explain the fundamentals of Project Finance summarizing key concepts and including some brief examples . Professor Gatti is clearly knowledgeable about the topic and takes great care of being both accurate and synthetic . Course syllabus is also well structured to progressively build an understanding of PF . Improvement points ( there must be a few ones ! ) videos could be made slightly more " natural " , more examples / case studies would be appreciated . Above all , this course would deserve to be complemented by a level 2 entering into more details of modelling and complex examples .

The content of the class is very nice . It gives a nice overview on genetics , and it was made accessible to many of us . Also , Mohamed Noor is very enthusiastic , and provides a lot of nice examples to illustrate the course . However , I think some parts of the class were a little bit dizorganized . For instance , I was sometimes confused by the vocabulary or the variable notations which are not always clear .

I love the content overall . However , I ' m very disappointed that there are no video lectures at all . Ironically , I could find some old video lectures of this course on YouTube . The difficulty of this course warrants video lectures to convey many concepts and techniques , such as the Fitch system . Hopefully you can add video lectures back to this course .

First , I thought I wasn ' t going to get anything out of this course . But then I realized my writing had improved after finishing this course , I was really suprised to see that . Thank you for all your effort in making this course possible . I look forward to taking some of other courses in the same specialization . Thank you again !

Good introduction to basics . A few improvements are warranted : Lessons could be reordered in a more logical progression , particularly when it comes to Git . Gitbash is not easy or intuitive . A more structured approach ( e . g . with cheat sheets , command glossaries , structure diagrams , debugging algorithms etc ) would help assimilate it .

Everything is perfect about this course . Topics are practical , examples are easy to follow and Dr . Chuck is a funny companion . Two suggestions to improve the course : to design bonus assignments that require more sophisticated and related Python applications ; to give direction of going deeper in certain topics , such as leveraging Amazon API . Thank you !

A very comprehensive introduction , well structured and narrated . Video lectures were interesting and easy - to - follow . I liked the fact that TED talks and other video sources were used in the syllabus . Also , the course book is well written . My only addition to it would be to include more solution - based topics .

Michael ( the lecturer ) did a wonderful job delivering the lessons in an easy to understand manner . The whole course was easy to follow . I don ' t recall any ambiguity in his teachings and his voice was clear . I also enjoy some of the assignments because I surprise myself by producing some great images . My main problem is the instructions of the assignments that causes a lot of students to be confused ( there are many complaints expressed in the Discussion forum ) .

This course is not for beginner programmers . You should have some background on programming ( as a whole ) , you should know object oriented programming concepts and if you want to make the most out of it , I recommend that you have a little knowledge on HTML , CSS and on how the web processes requests ( when you access a website for instance ) . That aside , this course is a great way to learn the basics of both Ruby and Ruby on Rails . I have experience programming on PHP using the web framework Laravel . I enjoyed this course a lot .

Sorry by the terrible English , i ' m a Portuguese speaker = ) But i ' ll try to say this This courser was amazing for me , I learned a lot with the lessons of Andrew and certainly now I can explore more this area of AI that is Machine Learning . I ' m a student of Physics Engineering in UFG , in the state of Goiás , Brasil , and these knowledge will help me in Data Analysis , that is basically the principal active of a Experimental Physicist . Hopefully this course will help more a lot of people in many areas , like IT guys , Physicists , Chemists and who knows who else . Just to finish , my thanks to Andrew Ng by the classes , to the Stanford University by the course and to Coursera Team for the platform .

Fantastic course . Helped me get from zero technical knowledge of machine learning all the way to the point where I feel comfortable implementing and can think through those implementations . The course itself is very math - intensive and gives a deep technical understanding of machine learning , rather than just a code - based approach . I feel like this is useful , but I would not recommend this course to people with no coding experience or people who are uncomfortable with linear algebra ( primarily matrix operations for vectorized implementations of algorithms ) . My only criticism is that the course moved slowly at some points , but I took time off to take the course in several days rather than over a few months . I imagine the reminders and short review of topics that have already been covered would be very useful to people taking the course at the recommended pace .

The course was useful in providing an introduction to the basics of game theory . However it would benefit from a native English proofread and smoother delivery . There were also problems throughout regarding the display of graphics and notes behind the professor , who kept pointing to something other than he was referring to . A couple of math notations were also incorrect , for example " < " when the professor said " less than or equal to " . Overall though , I ' m pleased that I took the course and I learned several important aspects of the topic that will benefit me in future study . excellent course ! they teach you all the terms and sentences you need to know either as a beginner learning Korean or if you ' re planning to travel there . In addition to the video lessons , lecture notes and homework are also provided for extra practice ! Definitely recommend this course to anyone thinking of learning Korea ! Thank you very much for this course 10 / 10 !

This was a great course ! It was cool to see the perspectives of different artists . I only wish there had been more of them , with more different styles ( What about someone who is more realistic ? What about someone who is super stylized in a different way ? ) Really delightful to have the opportunity to hear their perspective on things and have them describe how they think about what they ' re doing and to see their different processes .

It is a recommended course for any teachers out there . Even though this course is focusing on teaching English language , I find that it is still helpful for teachers of any other subjects , even other languages ! I thoroughly enjoy weekly assignment even though I have to admit that I didn ' t complete some by the end of the week . But , it is all on me because I am responsible for my own learning . Good luck to everyone who is taking this course and anyone who will be taking this course ! Cheers !

This was a good overview of the services Google Cloud Platform offers . There were a few bugs with the quizzes , but overall it was put together well and had a lot of information for a short course . I think it is a good introductory - level course for a person who has some background in Data Science and cloud computing , but not much experience with Google Cloud Platform . The tutorials and exercises are quick walk - throughs that can be completed in 10 - 15 minutes each . They give you a feel for how the Google Cloud APIs work and what some of the capabilities are , but don ' t go into much depth . This is an ideal course for a person who is considering using Google Cloud Platform but isn ' t sure what the advantages and capabilities are .

The support by the mentors could be much better . Because of the missing support I was not able to solve the assignments under Windows with Octave . I had to buy Matlab . - 2 ) It seems to me that the course is very difficult to complete without additional sources . - 1 )

The course was just fine . Some of the lectures were really good while some lectures were really confusing . The good thing is that course provides excellent resources for further exploring the topics in the course . So i had to consult these additional resources when i find lectures confusing . Course Assignments were really simple . Hardly any assignment took me more than an hour to complete .

The assignments were tough and they really tested your knowledge of python . That being said , the lectures were absolutely useless . I spent 90 % of my time trying to figure out python through stack overflow . The jupyter platform is also very frustrating . For whatever reason , error messages kept coming up as I was trying to complete the assignments . At one point , I lost all my work because of this error .

Nice course , hometasks are about medium level difficulty ( in hackerrank terms ) . Problems are already half - completed , so you ' re just filling the gaps following the design . That really shows the power of scala in things like pattern matching ( suddenly , it ' s everywhere ! ) and functional programming approach ( lots of small functions with pretty narrow scopes ) . So althouth you can program just as if it was java , you ' re kinda pushed to do scala . Thanks for the course .

The course started really well and followed on nicely from the first course in the series but I ' m really disappointed and frustrated with the video editing issues . Many were fixed but there are still some errors / omissions and the second half of the course was very short of content compared to the rest . Such a shame as I ' m sure the writers really know their material and conveyed so well when the content was there . I ' m looking forward to the next course and hope the material is all ready to go !

This course is great , finally that line in my resume is not a lie ) I wish we went through this course on coursera back then in my university instead of SQL lessons that we had . I really apreciated the realistic setup for practice and rather big number of given exercises - very usefull for digestion of information . And by the way Jana is the best lecturer among all the ones I ' ve seen on Coursera , very live , open , enthusiastic and giving information with structure and to the point . Thank you , it was a pleasure .
