I know this is intended for a broad audience, but I found that the assignments were too easy. Not that they are testing easy material, but that the answers are almost stated directly in the questions.

One of the best courses I have taken so far. The instructor has been very clear and precise throughout the course. The homework section is also designed in such a way that it helps the student learn .

The combination of the hands-on exercises will provide a wholistic learning experience. The professor is well spoken, supportive, and understands how to communicate to those outside of the ML field. Well worth your time!

Such an excellent course to learn Deep Learning. Andrew Ng is an incredible teacher, making this "complicated" domain looks very easy. I am looking forward to pass the other courses. Thank you very much for all the work!

In total - a great way to get into the field, though I have started Andrew's ML course in parallel and it gave a better background. During the course I thought there was place for more "optional" mathematical background.

The course is perfectly designed to provide practical knowledge of programming and applying the concepts and also makes it easier to understand the basics and fundamentals of the computation happening behind the program.

If you are looking for a starting point to begin your journey of deep learning I will strongly recommend this course. Although it is mostly theoretical but programming exercise give you a chance to try your coding skills

i have done tensorflow courses earlier. but to be able to implement deep NNs without using external frameworks was impossible for me, until i discovered this course. great explanation and quality questions + assignments.

Prof. Andrew has proven that no one can teach Deep Learning better than him. The way is build upon simple concepts and implements them is assignment is what gives the learner confidence in the practicality of the theory.

The best course to take up while starting of with deep learning . The instructor has structured the course were well , not just giving us only the overview of the concepts, but really builds up a very in depth intuition.

The course was plenty helpful even for me, not knowing a single word about NN. The instructor is really good and accompanied by quizzes and assignments you will a get picture of how NN works. Thank you very MUCH Coursera

Excellent course by Andrew N.G . It explains in detail how to build logistic regression and a convolutional neural network with two and more than two layers. Overall an excellent course to get started with deep learning.

A great theoretical walk-through of the key concepts behind neural networks. The programming exercises also help further cement the understanding you get from the videos. By far best course on neural networks I've found.

Excellent course to get a clear understanding on what "Deep" learning is, how it compare to "Shallow" learning . Also how Neural Networks and Deep Learning relate. Also as always Dr. Andrew Ng is THE best at teaching ^_^

Finally, after getting confused by text-based literature for a long time, I understand what a deep neural network does from here. Thanks, thanks very much!! Prof Andrew's lecture is really informative and understandable.

learn from scratch how to code in numpy an L-layer neural network (the proposed code has a well organized structured)

understand forward and backward propagation (from coding point of view)

learn some useful best practices

Excellent content. Concepts like backpropagation, importance of vectorization, dimensional equality of vectors were taught in the most simple and easy to understand way. The difficulty level was also gradually increased.

The programming prictice is wonderful, I learn a lot of new methods and thoughts about machine learning and programming.idea-model iteration, symmetry breaking and vectorization etc. leaves a very deep impression for me.

Excellent lectures. Programming assignments are straight forward but very efficient. I did not have to spend a lot of time to do them but I felt that I learned the essences of the lectures by following the assignments.

Really enjoyed this course - demystified deep learning to a degree that enabled me to learn and want to learn more. I've always enjoyed Dr. Andrew's courses, and I've rated Coursera to be one of the best MOOCs available.
