Professor Bill Howe gives great reactions to when there are typos on the slides!

Very nice assignments and content. You learn a lot when you complete all assignments.

Great course!

I enjoy this course. The delivery and the course topics were very interesting. I learnt a lot and peer reviewing other people assignments is a great learning opportunity .

A quick overview of technology terms used for Machine Learning, and gentle introduction into learning through Kaggle.

Nive that the course covered a broad range of topics.

And good to get pushed to do some kaggle competition and peer review.

Its a great review course. Prior knowledge is necessary

Excellent course with amazing practical exercises!

i love it

Its Hard! but AWESOME, some much info packed in a few lectures!

great for learner

Excellent!!

Fantastic course! Excellent conceptual teaching for people who already know the subject but need some more clarity on how to approach statistical tests and machine learning.

The topic the professor covers are awesome. Going from statistics to machine learning is something very awesome about this course

Excellent thoughts and concepts presented.

I can feel Prof. Howe tried to cover as much as possible and to build a foundation for both practicing as well as further study on the topics. However, I do feel it is not patient enough to give a detailed yet easy-to-follow explanation for some of the topics, and I had to do quite some self-readings to close the gap. I think it will be helpful if the course can provide some reading materials on how some of the formulas are derived (e.g. gradient descent, logistic regression etc.) as a supplement.

Too little people participated and long peer review time.

But the course content is good.

good course material!

A nice and informative course. The only negative side were the problems with the automatic evaluation of the R assignment. In my opinion, the question should have been automatically removed and/or all submittions reevaluated, or all students should have been notified about the need for manual resubmission. As it was, some (like myself) were left with fewer points that they should have received just because they did not check the discussion forums every day (mainly because of other obligations).

Excellent crash course in machine learning and introduction to the kaggle data science competitions. However, the grading system had bugs and was unable to accept two answers as correct making it very frustrating. The grader was finally fixed so next round of this course should be a better experience.

This course covers a lot of material, but unfortunately lacks depth and thorough examples in many areas. It could also use more hands-on activities. Overall, I learned quite a bit and found it was worth the time and effort.

More dynamic visualisation please, and it will be 5*.

The entire course is an overview! This course will be a revision if you already know the concepts.
