Fantastic introduction to deep NNs starting from the shallow case of logistic regression and generalizing across multiple layers. The material is very well structured and Dr. Ng is an amazing teacher.

Excellent introduction to Neural Networks. Explained so lucidly and then step-wise descent into programming a network. Am a fan of Prof. Andrew Ng. I have become extremely confident of making neural nets on my own after doing this course. Can't wait to do further courses.

Loved the way of teaching, the course content.

Specially the coding assignment functions are structured in such a beautiful way that it makes it very easy to breakdown and code. Otherwise, thinking of full solution without these small functions seemed to be very difficult.

Excellent course. Easy to learn at a fast pace. The lectures illustrate key principles very clearly. Lot of intuition is developed. The programming assignments focus on the key concepts without letting the student getting bogged down in the details of the language itself.

I found this course very useful because it manages to combine a relatively formal introduction to Neural Networks basics with approaches to developing them in practice. The Heroes interviews were a great addition too. Especially loved the one with Geoff Hinton! Thank You!

This is a really accessible and engaging introduction to Deep Learning. I would definitely recommend taking time for the optional work, including "Heros" videos. It's interesting to see not only where field came from, but as the interviews get older, where it has gone.

An interesting and very organized knowledge about Neural networks. This is a initial way to get into the neural networks world. The guidance to learn and the assessments have good structure that let us learn in a better way. Thanks for the knowledge we´ve achived so far.

This course is excellent for learning throw the basics of deep learning quickly!

It would be best if this course provides some (optional) calculus assignment (something like calculates dL/dW^[n]), but this can be studied from outside the course, and this is still awesome!

Did face some difficulties with Python. But a wonderful course to get started with Deep Learning with the very basics and intuition. I am never a supporter of using the blackbox in the first go and Andrew has made us see into the black box by this course. Awesome course.

The course aims to provide the practitioner with a deep understanding of the building blocks of neural networks. The math involved is well explained and it gives intuition about why things are developed the way they are. Excellent course and excellent optional material !

Everything Andrew NG is great. This course was a fine introductory for Neural Networks. Sadly I didn't have much free time lately, so I am the only one to blame for the things I didn't learn properly. I can't wait to start watching the next course in this specialization.

I learned a lot from this course even without that much of the in-depth knowledge about the Deep Learning and Neural Networks. Instructor Andrew Ng explained all the concepts in the best possible way such that even a newbie can understand what are DL and Neural Networks.

Gives the fundamental understanding of NNs. Absolutely good for beginners, slow learners or fast learners. Good for a quick recap too. Course content, quiz and programming exercises ensure to gain maximum potential. Thanks Andrew Ng for this amazing tutorials and videos.

Very well taught. Specially the coding exercises give confidence to code your own neural network. Also the Heroes of Neural Network segment is very informative featuring Dr. Geoff Hinton and other giants of the field. I feel motivated to complete the full specialization.

This is so far the best Neural Network explanation i have ever heard (including university). This course helped me a lot in a deep and real understanding of the process. I was finally able to write the equations by myself. Thank you Andrew Ng for this priceless material!

The material is lacking depth for the sake of capturing a large audience. It is mostly practice at mathematical notation for neural networks and practical python tips. But the interviews with well-known researchers in the field make this a five star course in my opinion.

A great course ! I quite liked Andrew's style - his calm , soothing narrative tone while going through the more complex stuff was indeed something that got me going. And it helps when you want to go a bit faster while reviewing the videos - the content still makes sense.

Very well-designed course, the mathematical representation was clearly discussed, otherwise it will be very challenging for students to understand/derive the fundamentals by themselves. Coding assignment is both fun and takes a gradual step, it is never too intimidating.

Great course that moves at a consistent pace that makes it easy to follow along. Programming exercises are simple enough that you can grasp the concepts and see it in action without having to overthink the small stuff. Looking forward to the rest of the specialization.

Brilliant Course. Starts from logistic regression and takes you all the way till deep nets. It has a fair bit of hand holding in the assignments, for better results try to implement the assignments on you system without the helper code after you complete the assignments.

Wonderful course! It had me grasp the basics of Neural Networks and Deep Learning, as well as how to build an L-layer deep neural networks system with Python codes! I can now do some amazing things, for example, using the system to auto-classify my collected pictures :-)

The course was a lot of fun to learn. The course is well structured and easy to follow. Refreshing your calculus a little will help you keep up with the math used. By the end you will have a good practical understanding of how neural nets work and how to implement them.
