Had good foundational concepts about AI, but I think too many conversational videos with IBM engineers presenting their personal opinions about the future of AI. I found most of them to be overly opiniated with elementary analogies and some even with almost no relevance or value to actual learning about AI. For example "comparing AI > to the > Horse & Buggy" come on really, how about using the "Computer" with modern relevance? Highly recommend replacing one or two of these all-talk videos with some real cool and interesting use case examples showing AI in action. A practical and applied presentation in real world scenarios like technical medicine, industrial production, scientific experiment, etc.

My expectations for this cource were higher to be honest. The last asignment for both IBM Cloud and Watson Studio wasn't so clear and informative, but very dry and just "do this and press here...". There was no a signle explanation of how we use these tools and why, and how exactly these work, and which other tools we can use and how. For sure I will continue with the second part, because I'm expecting to learn more. In the other hand the speakers were using clear and simple language and made all the information shared easily understood.

The course material was quite helpful, but following through the assignment was troublesome when there were errors(e.g. selecting the location for Watson servers).

The biggest drawback in this course is in the peer review(not sure if it is Coursera's drawback overall), since one has to 'wait' until someone submits the assignment for me to grade and 'complete the course'.

This should be fixed in the long run, since it really goes against Coursera's policy of 'pay minimum tuition by finishing early'.

Good course but there were numerous errors and issues with content. I reported all except one where there was an audio issue with the videos. In general the sound quality was not the best in the videos. Levels are too low, in general and there was audio that was recorded over other audio during one of the videos. I don't recall which but it was obvious. Other than the technical issues, the content was great, informative, and inspiring.

Most of the course had engaging videos and was quite informative. The ethics segment was interesting and important, however the interviewees seemed monotonous and low energy - like they were reading off a prompt. It made it difficult to focus and be enthusiastic about the subject. There were a few outdated links that I was supposed to click on and led to an error page. I flagged them all, please fix!

The hours calculated to complete this course are not exactly accurate. The method does not include taking notes and having to go through material(s) more than once.

The course could have had some better visual examples.

The course could have offered ACTUAL counterpoints (not just in name) and discussion of those counterpoints regarding A.I. in our lives....(as people are not choosing to do this).

It's a good course if you don't have any idea about IA. It'll give you the most important concetps and the bases to start your own researchs.

Though, the definitios are given by IBM Experts, and they have different concepts by themselves.

It would be great to be homologous in the information and teach a course with set information and not only with a personal opinion by the experts.

If you're truly a beginner with no prior exposure at all, might be helpful information. The "Honors" assignment was an odd cut/paste job that hopefully is being used for some purpose by the course creators, otherwise the only value it might serve is to introduce a chatbot to somebody who has never engaged with one in their entire life, which is probably unlikely this day in age.

Thanks Coursera and IBM for providing this condition for all Enthusiasts.

I'm very sorry that your website does not verify Iranian users,

Your goal is to provide education for everyone,

Why should we, who are interested in education, be influenced by politics?

Isn't education the best way to help deprived countries?

I feel that this policy has no place in educational justice.

The delivery format of interviews, on the one hand, and speech-to-text generated slides is monotonic. The interviewees repeat themselves. There is a strong bias given to the Youtube AI expert. I found the hands-on exercise to be interesting, particularly the graded one with the image recognition. There is lots of extra material provided for continuous learning.
