I believe that John Ewald did a great job at covering the basics for absolute beginners. I will recommend others to check out the course too before diving deep into more specific topics.

The presenter spoke too rapidly -- she ran words together and often mumbled; non-native English speakers *will* have difficulty understanding her. Google should have supplied a better speaker or hired a professional speaker to do this kind of work! Within two or three minutes, I gave up on listening to the presenter and read the printed text -- much more valuable! Despite the general content being more-or-less at the novice level, there were more than just a few jargon words/terms used that were not explained.

Gave a good intro, but, god, don't make the video tutorials like this please. All i see is that lady in the tutorial, its so distracting. Multiple angles of her face and several zoom shots. Who is interested in her, please show on screen content, she is blabbering fast, i just had to slow down the speed so much and pause and go back several hundred times to understand what is going on.

The subject matter scratched the surface of the subject, but somehow was unsatisfactory. The test is completely bogus. It doesn't test your knowledge, but tests your ability to "spot the difference" between answers that look 99% the same and have one or two words different. Super annoying.

A lot of useful information but without detailed explanation and clear understanding how and why things are connected / following each other. Not systematically structured.

Very high level, and then links to extremely detailed scientific papers. The way the quiz is presented is nonsense, very hard to follow or read.

It was too hard to relate to the content being presented by the presenter. Couple of questions answers is not coming accurately on Gemini.

nice course, but question 2 of the Quiz does not have the 'correct question' as such

Pretty basic, lots of high-level ready not intended for a beginner.

Pros: - Instructor in video was energetic. Cons: - Instructor mumbled some key words and spoke too fast. - Instructor never took beats on key components. - Editing switched to extreme 3/4 profile view and then kept shots where the instructor turned their head from camera. For those that need to see lips to understand words (like myself) this makes it challenging to follow along. - Reading material is a single PDF with around 30 links to other published content. Apparently the 30 minutes quoted for expected time is only based on the material you decide to read, rendering the whole reading portion optional.

This was unfortunately too shallow for my liking, and it seemed to be a mere reading of some prepared text. The slides were not particularly illustrative of any concept. For example, instead of explaining PETM at a grade 8 level, the slide and the instructor merely recited a terse definition/description of PETM. Another example: the difference between prompt design and prompt engineering was not explained satisfactorily.

Deductions of money I didn't approve of, went on. I wasn't aware that the moderators of the course siphoned money from my bank account without my knowledge, every month. On top of that they have a no refund policy. If this isn't illegal, I don't know what is. I expect my money to be paid back to me because I was completely unaware of any of the deductions. I'm very disappointed and dissatisfied with this course.

This is just a bunch of vague buzzwords. There's no real explanation of "transformer" for example, just "the encode encodes and the learner learns". The Romans used to say Nomen est omen, but that's not true. Putting a name on something is not understanding that something. I'm surprised I have to write this down.

The course is asking me to purchase a certificate for $49 when I pay for a Coursera Plus Subscription - $49 monthly whereby this course is included. This is false advertising as it pertains to the benefits of the overall learning program.

This course is a 15min video that lists some of the terminologies in LLM. The presenter rushes through those terminologies and the constant camera angle change is distracting. Would not recommend this to others

Felt like torture sitting through this short course listening to a moron reading off a prompt and keeping on wiggling like a bubble-head. Thank God it was only one module!

It felt too shallow and like the instructor was just reading from a prompter than explaining some of the information in a little mode detail

Just a high level overview. The information you gather from this course can easily be gathered by chatgpt within 15-30 minutes.
