Helpful introduction to conflict resolution . I appreciated having the various categories and causes mapped out . It makes it easier to talk about conflict once you ' ve internalized the terms of the categories : interpersonal / intergroup / intercultural , values / economic / power , etc . Looking forward to the next installment of this course . | [

Great course , I learned a lot ! Just one thing I ' d like to see more clearly is that , during the course , all annual interest rates are converted into monthly rates just dividing by 12 . Later I learned this means they are nominal rates . Given that in the real world most rates tend to be expressed as effective rates , it would be good if this issue was expressly addressed . | [

Suitable neither for absolute beginners nor as a stand - alone course . For example , there are things that the quiz questions refer to that haven ' t been covered in the course , but you can ' t even look them up because they haven ' t given you the necessary terminology to find relevant information about them on google . This means that you ' ll be left looking through a minefield of resources that include the code in the quiz question but are actually about something else . I have now started using Lynda instead , and am seeing all the bad habits I ' ve picked up and the holes left in my knowledge . Normally I prefer Lynda to Coursera for the assignments and the quizzes , but not in this case . . . | [

Excellent course for beginners of students aspiring data analytics as a career . It teaches us the fundamentals of R programming language with utmost clarity and challenging assignments . The discussion forums were very much helpful . Everything goes smooth if we complete the course within the stipulated time . I had a wonderful experience completing my first course in Data Science and also in Coursera . I ' m looking forward to complete more courses and strengthen my career . | [

Excellent material . It could have been better if the tracking problem had more examples showing practical application . For example , I struggled to apply the control theoretic material from this course to Penn ' s Aerial Robotics course . Also , it wasn ' t crystal clear how to compose PID regulator from the " systematic " approach . This being said , I enjoyed the course and learned a lot . | [

The content in this course is a very good introduction to educational theory and practice . There is just one aspect I philosophically disagree with , yet this is a pivotal point in education . The course assumes that Education is a way to change behaviour ( as an external factor ) Yet I am more inclined to the philosophy of : Education is to lift man up from the animal state ; and by this uplift man will change his own relationship with the world ( internal factor ) . The theory and practice given in this course are still valuable though , regardless of this difference in viewpoint . | [

Was a better course than the other reviewers tended to complain about . Taking the examples literally might not be the best actionable route to completing a lot of the quizzes and final exam , its mostly theory on how to build sustainable and efficient systems while at the same time ensuring the security of them has the least effect on the usability of the information system or applications in mind . Some of the videos were somewhat off topic and seemed to not actually be related to what was on the quizzes at the end of the weeks topic . Some questions on quizzes weren ' t explained or only hinted at in the videos only to be the main topic in the next week . Other than that , a solid course . | [

Great course , really covered so many details ! I really enjoyed this one . This course , together with an intro course , is what I ' ve been really expecting from this specialization . I especially liked the idea with the assignment being given only on the last week of the course . Already recommended those 2 courses . | [

I have enjoyed every second of the five - part creative writing specialization . These courses have made me reassess my writing practices , they have allowed me to hone my skills as both a writer and working on the editing process . The course materials were brilliantly developed to support the aspiring writer and the knowledge and writing tips are of a very high caliber . Each guest writer and tutor have given great insight into the writing process and how every writer is different , everybody has their own methods of working . Superb and challenging . | [

I think this course gives me the most fundamental knowledge of photography , which consists of many new words and ideas . Thanks to this series of courses , I began to work better on my photograph skills , and I found it really interesting and amazing . The only thing I ' m not quite pleased with is the payment of the full course , without the upgrades I just can ' t review others ' works and that ' s disappointing . But anyway , I will continue this specialism and I hope it ' s the right choice . | [

I signed up to audit the first 5 courses in this specialization . This review is for the first 3 of these courses taught by Rebekah May . I don ' t know that SEO is truly simple and logical or if it just appears this way because of how clear and easy to listen to Ms . May is . I do feel she has supplied a lot of very useful information , pointed to a lot of great tools and websites . and am already making improvements as a result of her classes . | [

The most terrible course I have ever seen in my life and on this site . For some of quiz questions , you feel like you are dumb because you can not make connection between lectures and quizzes . I really wanted to learn java on coursera but It seems impossible to me . Focusing on rbg values and image thingies too much and making me feel uncomfortable at quizzes after watching all those lectures are the main reasons of giving 1 star . | [

Very well constructed , logical and understandable course . A very good way to get introduced and learn more than just the basics . It has been a huge thrill every evening getting home from work and sit down next to the computer to watch the videos and study Machine Learning . Prof . Andrew Ng did put together a very effective program indeed . Thanks ! | [

Sorry , but the course is very poor . I ' ve watched all the videos of the first week and it ' s mostly about nothing . And , by the way , too much stories . And I ' m still wondering why simpke brainstorming is called ZiZoZi ( " new " approach as it described ) . | [

Very boring presentation . Far too much ' buy my book / go to MY website ' . in it . If he did that in a RT University he would be hauled over the coals . Some interesting points made but most of the information given was from other ' s research . A little less self - promotion and a little more work , combined with less boring presentation would move it up to 4 * | [

I learned a lot of useful information in this course - - my first on Coursera - - and I ' m really excited to see how I will apply the things I learned here in real projects . Although I think that it would be beneficial if the course also required us to submit our code ( not just watch and read ) and also explain github at least a little , I feel that I am well - primed now to acquire more knowledge of how to make apps in the future . I positively adored the instructor ( his accent and way of explanation made it so fun ) . Thanks , Clement ! is a excellent course , I´m a neurosurgeon and I think Dr . Dale Purves , as my teacher . this is amazing topic , and full the basic them of neuroscience , is an accuracy understand of world . the most enigmatic facts explained by amazing master of battlefield of neuroscience . | [

I give 5 star for the teacher , really approach having such a well - organized teaching material . I also give - 1 star for the homework assignment and its ( almost ) GraphLab only approach . Yes , it mentioned " alternative " approach ( which is much more popular than GraphLab ) , but there are many bugs & trivial difficulties to get it through . With scikit - learn as a great open source package , the only reason ( I suspect ) to choose GraphLab is commercial purpose . For me , if the homework assignment is only instructed properly for loading data into Pandas , I can finish each programming assignment within 1 hour for sure using scikit learn ; but now , it takes 30 minutes and I still cannot load the data correctly . I like to get a certificate , but it is not necessary and spending too much time is a waste on my time . | [

I know a lot of work went into preparing this material . Although the Table of Contents serves this purpose in a more text - rich , visually complicated way - something I would find very useful is a step by step table or guide ( to ensure no step is skipped ) for the entire process , i . e .

The way professor Mr . G . Siedel conducted the course is very practical and useful . Invites always to " think about answers " to complex questions and his new approaching techniques to negotiate with success are truly useful to analyze your behave negotiating , and therefore , improve in the negotiation techniques and knowledge of tools and different approaches to a negotiation . | [

Prof . Wright provides students with an insightful range of knowledge which is bound to impact the way you see the world . I congratulate the professor , the teaching / research assistants , my colleagues and Coursera as a platform for making this a truly enriching experience . I registered for this course not knowing what to expect and it is revealing to see how an online class has provided me a way to see the world anew , bridging differences between the East and the West , the ancient and the modern , and the humanities and the sciences .

The course was a very efficient intro to using Python to get data from various simple sources and the different structures that can be used to hold and manipulate the data . The course starts with the intuitive methods to solve problems and then introduces more complex and process friendly alternatives to demonstrate how creativity and knowledge of Python can be used to generate elegant and efficient code . The auto - grading of assignments can be a little maddening as the correct answer needs to be formatted precisely as is expected or else it will be counted as incorrect . The good thing here is that it forces you to fully understand the data types and data , the bad is it can be frustrating not knowing if the answer is wrong or just the format of the answer . Admittedly , I feel this effort forced me to become a better Python programmer . | [

Good course . Personally I think it is almost the perfect level for those who have some basic understandings about finance and look forward to go deep ( such as me ) . This course requires some understanding about using Excel , which is quite useful when doing the quiz . Mastering Excel well would save a lot time . Some material might be a little hard but with patience and hardworking , it can still be solved . Highly recommended ! | [

Through this course , I learned about working and long - term memory mechanisms . I find out that my style of studying in 20 years of education ( from grade 1 to half of my PhD . ) was inappropriate . Now , I know about the power of recall , deliberate excercises and of course a full night sleep before an important test . I think if I knew these facts when I was at highschool my life would be different . I wish healthy joyful life for Prof . Oakly and Senjowsky , as they change rest of my life . | [

While I appreciate this class for attempting to tackle a complicated topic , it was too hard for me to follow , and the peer assignment grading rubric is too arbitrary . Perhaps it is designed for those who are more analytical than myself . . Such as developers . I am a writer ) .

Some parts are needed more clarification . In other words , as a student of the course you need to go beyond the materials , since the materials are not self - sufficient . Specially about simulation methods . However , this is not the reason that I give the course 4 out of 5 . The absence of any help from TAs , based on my experience , is the reason . I expected some official replies to my question while there are only a few question for each week of the course . | [

This is an outstanding introduction to lesson planning . It covers the subject in far more detail than did my graduate teaching course . I would have given 5 stars but still struggle a bit with the presentational style of the instructor . Don ' t let this put you off though as that is very much a personal opinion and the material is excellent . For those who have followed the earlier courses in the specialization , I should warn that this one is much more difficult , particularly for those without prior teaching experience , and far more practically based . | [

As I recall the original Introduction to Python Dr . Chuck course which debuted 3 to 4 years back or so , was split into two . So this is is like the 2nd part of the original course ( split into 2 as it was deemed slightly overwhelming for beginners ) . With the properly adjusted pace of this class , even with knowledge of Arithmetic only and NO programming what so ever , you should do well in this class provided you make at least a moderate effort ! | [

It covers theoretical part of " What big data is " and basic info about Hadoop . Quality of presentation slides is below average . Most of them are not readable - many fonts , many colors , some with complicated pictures , some with no information at all . Part with Map reduce is just slightly touched , not explained in details , without examples . Practical tasks from hadoop are very easy and they show nothing ( just how to navigate over hadoop file system . | [

Course assignment requires knowledge that is not discussed in the course . Various inconsistencies throughout the course . Week 4 ' s material is not really helpful and I had a feeling that the instructior just wanted to " wrap up " the course and didn ' t really care if the material is appropriate .

The quality of the content is very good . However , the content should be more detailed . Further , certain key subject - areas are missing such as the fashion calendar , quality control , merchandising , cool - hunting and forecasting , market research , event management , public relations management , retail operations in more detail , logistics , store operations etc . Overall , however , the course is a good overview about managing fashion and luxury companies . Moreover , interviews with CEOs and brand directors would make the course more interesting . | [

This course wasn ' t good . Many of the assignment instructions and questions were poorly written , and students clearly had trouble understanding what was asked of them . The assignments also weren ' t very deep or imaginative , and some of them requested very specific answers relying in keywords from the lectures rather than ensuring that the students had really understood the concepts . The design principles were introduced at such a surface level as to be just silly rather than useful . This was kind of a waste of my time . | [

Not up to the standard of the previous two courses . The material was already covered in the first course - Fundamentals of Graphic Design - and nothing new was brought to the table . Even the assignments were a re - hash of the ones from the first course . I realize the point of the lack of specific guidance was intended to encourage us to explore the " making " of multiple iterations of the images . I just would have liked to have more instruction or examples of the elements of composition hierarchy . | [

I ' ve tried the Python course of Rice university , and some part of the Codecademy Python course ! This is much more basic and offer a fundamental view about all programming language not only just python . Compared to the Rice University course , this one is more for a new beginner who hasn ' t done any coding before . The Rice course doesn ' t really need any coding exp , but with the projects get more complicated in the end , it would be much easier if you have somewhat coding exp before , at least in my opinion . Anyway , I can ' t wait for all this specialization of University of Michigan ! inp = raw _ input ( " What do you think of the course ?

This course is literally amazing ! I haven ' t finished so far , but I can ' t wait to give it a 5 - star review . The course is well organized and it really opens my mind to think of programming language in a different way . Thanks Prof . Dan ! | [

This is a truly superb course , probably unique in its breadth , depth and realistic , fact - based approach to teaching money and banking . I particularly liked the systematic use of balance sheets for the presentation of the materials , the emphasis on History and institutions to understand the contemporary banking system , the explanations on the hierarchy of money and credit and of how all banking is essentially an exchange of IOUs ( mostly created from thin air ) . The transition from traditional banking to shadow banking is very well explained . The role of the Fed as a liquidity backstop for the financial system , the eurodollar as a source of global funding and the causes of the financial crisis are all clearly presented . I ' m now eagerly waiting for an updated version of the course , since the recorded lectures are from late 2012 . | [

Improvement over the first course . Most of the material did not require many references to the apple documentation in order to complete the assignments . Final project was comprehensive and built on previous work . A major flaw of this course is that it is not updated for the newest version of Swift . Many of the techniques and methods taught will not translate to Swift 3 . 0 . | [

John Covach is a fantastic instructor . I love the combination of trivia , music analysis and anecdotes that made the course so fun ! Moreover , it feels like he is genuinely a Beatles fan like myself . It made the experience more special .

This is a great course that is very informative . It brought many performers to my attention that I had not heard of before or that I had not appreciated before and has enriched my appreciation of music . The course focuses mainly on the history and development of rock music , rather than the technical side of the music itself . It is a pity that the course itself only discusses the music , but does not feature the music itself . I suggest that you keep a streaming service , such as Spotify or Deezer , open in a separate window on your browser , so you can pause the lectures and listen to the music as you go along . | [

I love the way Match teaches everything with goofy mnemonics that stick . Their curriculum has helped turn around my classroom teaching .

Blown away by this course . Hands down the best I ' ve taken on Coursera and in the running for best course ever . The manner in which the professors taught and tested us through the Concept challanges really clicked with me . Kind of wish I went here for undergrad .

This was an excellent introductory course to the world of Machine Learning . I think that after the course you are going to be able to read any paper in the area and grasp at least some details of it . Andrew is one of a kind teacher , very intuitive and easy to follow . This was the kickstart I was needing to completely dive myself into the world of ML . Completely recommended ! | [

Really liked the course . Very well designed and carried away . The only thing I wasn ' t too happy was the final project as the data was not easy to understand . As a beginner when we have to focus more on Tableau related features , I ended up spending more time understanding the data which didn ' t really help me . Otherwise , it was a good course . Surely , it put me on a fast track for Tableau . | [

Once upon a time , Calarts was my grad school , and I got the MFA gladly . Years later , I needed to up my skills , and I discovered Coursera had many of the classes I wanted to take - and now I feel like my MFA is an MFA This course is very good for both the writer and the game maker - and more to the point it is a great breakdown of what is a good storytelling device . Highly recommended . | [

Excellent course and I really enjoyed the learning process I had been guiding through these weeks . This is a great entry level course for people like me who have few knowledge about HTML , CSS and JavaScript . The professor went through each concepts explicitly . Some concepts in JavaScript can be tricky for students without a CS background , but this course really makes things easier to understand . There are some small challenging in assignments , but it ' s still a great opportunity to transform all those concepts to my knowledge and experiences . | [

Andrew takes the time to clearly explain the concepts . Most quizzes and programming assignments helped reinforce your understanding of these topics .

I am Jun Qi , a Ph . D . student in the department of Electrical Engineering at University of Washington . I ever took Carlo ' s excellent machine learning courses at UW and was really feeling pretty good . Although I may become an intermidiate machine learning researcher , I am of great interest in taking his new on - line courses because his new courses are more pracitcal and focus on large - scale data processing .

Very good course leading to insightful consideration for new managers . Quickly applicable with the Thought Model exercise . Would highly recommend . I give it 4 starts out of 5 because some improvement needed around expected deadlines on week 3 , and for a few technical bugs : one must be logged into a browser to participate in the discussion forum - I couldn ' t make it work from my iPad or iPhone apps . | [

This is a great introduction to a more formal approach to algorithms and I look forward to the rest of the courses in the specialization . The dynamic programming week was somewhat more difficult than the other weeks , but I think that could be remedied with more visualizations during the lectures . If you ' re lacking in any basic maths skills , I would recommend running through Khan academy first . Functional notation and series would be especially useful . | [

I found the material well - organized and explained throughout the course . Lots of learning options ( video , textbook , on - line labs , and Sylvius ) made it possible for me to adapt my learning style as needed to complete each of the 13 weeks . I really appreciate Dr . Len ' s enthusiasm for his subject , and the great support of his teaching assistants . It is a challenging course , but if you are willing to put in the effort , you will be amazed at what you have learned by the time you take your finals . I found the Neuroanatomy Through Clinical Cases textbook valuable for learning how medical observations are integrated to make a diagnosis and form a treatment plan . | [
