Yes, the course includes both practice assignments and graded assignments. Practice assignments are designed to reinforce learning and allow students to apply concepts in practical scenarios. Graded assignments are used to assess understanding of the course material, and you must complete these assignments to earn a certificate of completion.
The knowledge gained from this course can be applied in various domains such as software development, data science, content generation, image and video generation, enhancing creativity in design, and solving complex computational problems with generative models. Additionally, the skills learned can be utilized in academic research and industry projects focused on AI and machine learning.
Yes, upon successfully completing the course requirements and passing the graded assignments, you will receive a certificate of completion, demonstrating your knowledge and skills in generative AI foundations.
The duration to complete the course will vary depending on the individual's pace of learning and the time dedicated to studying and completing assignments. However, the course is designed to be comprehensive yet flexible to accommodate different learning speeds.
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
