I didn't like too much the structure of the lecture and the assignments, I don't think they were aligned that well. Also, I'm not sure how I'm going use this in real life.

The additional lectures were TOO MUCH theory which is not the purpose of the specialization.

The assignments need significant improvement. Additionally, the lecturer never explained the NLP workflow succinctly. He more or less provided a bunch of terms with relatively little explanation. I was originally very excited about this particular course.

Very disappointing course. Probably cause I have learnt text mining from other specialization, does not feel this course is necessary to take. Assignment material are poorly prepared, waste some time when completing the assignment, which can be avoided.

Poorly constructed course overall. Covers some key topics so may still be worthwhile but lectures and assignments do not match up, expectation is that you just Google the material to complete assignments. Could do that without signing up for a course.

This course is probably the worst amongst all other courses in this specialization. The term 'applied' in the course title makes you think that this course helps you to build practical experiences in text mining. However, not true at all.

This course repeat a lot what we have seen in the module 3 of the specialization. There is not enough coding examples and the first assignment is not well design. The lectures doesn't prepare you enough to tackle the assignments.

Exercises are pretty good and give you a lot of practice however the instructor is far below par. Just reading out the slides like a typical private uni teacher. I doubt if he could pass the assignments of this course.

Course is very interesting. However, getting your assignments right is extremely annoying. Sometimes you have no idea why it's not right. Every upload you need to change the type of your upload.

course materials are minimal and possible insufficient to complete assignments without additional reading materials. Assignment questions can be clearer with sample output will be very helpful.

It gives you a better understanding of SVM and LDA after taking the third course but they have failed to provide enough examples and exercises. Not every module has a notebook unfortunately!

Good course with great content and lecturer however the assignments are all buggy and don't run in the Jupyter notebooks. This is frustrating to deal with in a paid course. Please fix!

Lecture was long-winded and could not hit the main points. Assignment was difficult without many explanation. Tutors were more humiliating students rather than providing supports.

Worst course in the specialization so far. Tasks in the assignments are very poor written and are unclear. Just listening lectures don't help you to complete your assignments.

There were significant issues with the autograder and the instructions for the programming assignments. This course has been around for a while. Why aren't they fixed???

Did not provide enough sample codes or real-life text mining applications. The videos were very high level and not enough to understand the context of the material.

The content of the course was quite good. But the level of teaching was a way too less than the level of Assignments. Ist assignment was too difficult to perform..

The course takes you through the important NLP topics, the instruction is decent, but the assignments are clunky and waisted many hours of my time unproductively.

The assignments were far more beyond the content covered, hopefully either the content covered to be extended or the assignment scope to be changed.

A lot of prior knowledge or independent learning is required to get the most out of this course. Needs more code walkthroughs.

so many bugs in the homework. Autograder is terrible. Spent more time debugging homework than actually learning.

Assignment grading is way too rigid and not reflective of real world issues. It can be very frustrating.

Instructions for assignments are vague and incorrect. Instructor was hard to follow during lecture.

The video lectures are good, but there are many issues with the Jupyter notebook assignments.

There were some errors in the autograders and sometimes lack of response from mentors.

First weeks of the course are great, but then it lacks in programming exercises
