It was very exciting to build my own DNN from scratch. The course made me (optionally) revisit university calculus and fill out gaps in my understanding. I did not realize that Machine learning will be so much fun! Thanks a lot to Prof. Andrew and team for this!

Amazing course for anyone who doesn't have much experience with NN, like me :) The programming assignments were so well-structured! They've just raised the bar of how neat and readable a code should be - the perfect example for guys who're just learning to code.

I've taken other deep learning courses, but Professor Ng's style of teaching is just excellent and hard to beat. The course is engaging and it's easy to grasp the core concepts. Knowledge of some Linear Algebra, derivatives, and Python skills is a pre-requisite.

Great course! I prefer to go from the whole picture to details in programming assignments. meaning first write the entire model and then write the functions. this way the functions will have their meaning in the context of the model as the student defines them.

Amazing Course the syllabus the content everything is just amazing content is easy to follow mentors are very helpful they provide other resources too if some concepts don't make sense , I had a lot of help received from discussion forums.

It is a great course !

very well made online course I think. It's like meeting with the real lecturer. It's just that the explanation of the video is too short for me. it would be better if the video duration is longer. However, overall, very satisfied with this first course, love it

Excellent course. Andrew Ng explained in detail each and every thing and concepts were crystal clear in the end. However, autograder needs to provide better feedback in case of a problem. Moreover, it would be nice if the students are allowed to debug the code.

Great course! It has the right balance between theory and programming exercises. The subject can be very technical and mathematical, but the instructor explains it in a way that makes it understandable even for those who do not have in-depth calculus knowledge.

Excellent way of teaching and art for making difficult things explained simply. Even provided higher classes math concepts, which helped me a lot in implementing that math in programming. I wish i could find time and complete this series of courses. Recommended

Reveals the fundamentals of Deep Learning in an intuitive and mathematically sound way. Major advances in Natural Language Processing are reviewed to the current state. The exercises contribute to understanding. On the same level as Andrew's Stanford ML course.

Very useful course. This course shows you the nuts and bolts of Deep Learning in excellent detail. I have taken other courses where they use a higher level (like Keras) and I did not get as much intuition as this course. Thanks Andrew and the other instructors!

Great intro! The instructor takes his time to explain the concepts multiple times so you are constantly refreshed. Also, the terms are consistent across all the lectures and assignments, and any changes are clearly stated. Im looking forward to the next course.
