I would love some pointers to additional references for each video. Also, the instructor keeps saying that the math behind backprop is hard. What about an optional video with that? Otherwise, awesome!

Andrew Ng is a great instructor ! He starts by giving intuition about complex aspects of deep learning and builds on top of that. The math STEM students / graduates is pretty straightforward ! I highly recommand it

It was an excellent course that is extremely insightful for even people like us who do not have a good academic background of Neural Networks/Artificial Intelligence but are otherwise enthusiastic about this field.

I loved the assignments in the course, they seem to coach you and also hold your hand till you learn the concepts well and apply them to pass the tests.This may be an old course now , but its still very much valid.

Exceptional teaching. Course material is very lucid and structured for people who do not have a strong Mathematics/Stats/Software background. Great sources for building fundamentals. And as usual, Andrew Ng rocks !

Excellent course and material. Thank you Prof Ng. Suggestion : Probably one programming assignment could have been made more rigorous. Especially the last one. By rigorous , I meant "code a major chunk on our own".

Excellent course. Concepts are explained in detail with clear intuitions and purpose. Taking the Machine Learning course (by the same professor) before taking this course made everything extremely easier to follow.

To know what is it from the inside, from the scratch not only gives you a bottom-up approach but gives an added advantage at a later stage when you get fluent in coding the DNNs and have a better Top down approach.

Well structured course with sufficient theory and adequate amount of exercises. One of the best course available in the internet to start with Deep Learning along with the hand on experience on image recognization.

Andrew is doing an amazing job by explaining complex ideas in clear words and terms. The learner is slowly introduced to main ideas step by step and the exercises are well written. A work of a master in his domain.

I have taken few Deep learning courses, including from Stanford. This was the best, and the simplest in explanation. It helps you to understand every simple detail. Andrew Ng is great educator, if not the greatest!

This is excellent teaching! The right pace, well-picked repetitions of certain aspects that allow to get routine and a good proportion of hands-on with python while not loosing the common theme and the big picture.
