Decent course, and I really wanted to do the programming assignments, but I wasn't able to because the packages were unusable :(

A bit difficult to complete as the Quiz questions were tougher. But when you go through all, you might feel good.

Very good course.
Clear, well structured and explained. I have learned many new things.
I have only missed that the practices have not been updated with other tools: python, R, ...

I'd appreciate Prof.Zhai's lesson design with robust framework. BUT I really can not accept that the mistake that homework putted in wrong week and STILL NOT FIXED AFTER TWO YEARS!

Some mistakes in subtitle. and it is better to break down the long videos into smaller sections, illustrate the concepts with more graphs,picture and animation.

The explanation is detailed and clear. But the missing star is because I hoped the course would have programming assignments using popular language as python.

Cheng is a very good teacher. I'm amazed at how clearly he can teach complex topics. All topics are covered in the book "Text Data Management and Analysis".

This course goes through the basics of text retrieval systems with an appropriate speed. However, the contents are quite out-dated for 2019.

Need indetail inputs on algorithm usage and correct MeTA assignments with working scripts. That makes learning a complete curve.

Good theoretical course. Some exercises need to be fixed, as they count for approval and are misplaced.

More programming assignments would have helped understanding the topics covered in the course better.

Great at theory and concept explanation... but just few examples and zero programming applications.

this course has a lot of ideas but I think these principles need some code for implementing
