About the course
In the first course of the Machine Learning Specialization, you will: • Build machine learning models in Python using popular machine learning libraries NumPy and scikit-learn. • Build and train supervised machine learning models for prediction and binary classification tasks, including linear regression and logistic regression The Machine Learning Specialization is a foundational online program created in collaboration between DeepLearning.AI and Stanford Online. In this beginner-friendly prog
The dissent
The most-upvoted critical review (80 votes, 1.0★).
“I have completed this course in full and as a result, I am highly satisfued with how Professor Andrew Ng explains the materials. Thank you for this! However, I cannot understand, why after completing the course a part of studying materials are not accessible, even though I paid a sufficient price for the course. These unaccessible materials include Python programs which were used as a practice. Frankly, I find it unfair, since this practice would be extremely important to revise the materials while improving my skills in Machine Learning in the future. Moreover, a part of the montly fee was paid also for the practice materials. I may agree that these Python programs can be private, however,there should be ways to overcome this issue. Without the possibility to revise the code it will be much harder to create our own applications and programs.”
Coursera's 4.9 comes from 32,985 ratings. Of those, 0.5% are 1–2★.
Starisk reads the reviews learners voted most helpful, and weights each by the square root of its votes: a review with 80 upvotes counts about five times one with 2. Unvoted reviews are not skipped out of laziness — by this model they carry no evidence that other students endorsed them.
That measures what the most-endorsed reviews say, not “true quality.” The rating distribution above is the whole population, so you can see the sample next to it.
