I haven’t felt so much in two minds about a course before. On one hand, I felt the course was well organized, taught a good structure for approaching ML modeling, provided valuable intuition about different models, highlighted pitfalls, and was really high quality overall. It is easily the best course on ML that I have come across.
On the other hand, I must admit that I got really bored after a few chapters and had to force myself to finish the course. I can’t exactly put my finger on it but it had something to do with the ever same structure of the exercises (I guess, it helps drive home the recommended approach) and the same data sets. Switching things up a little might have helped keeping me more engaged. I would also like to encourage you to include a few more questions in some of the quizzes. It was really demotivating when a quiz had a single question and I got that wrong. Having at least four or five questions could be a nice amount.
And one tip: There is really no need to assign to _
to prevent cell output in notebooks, just end the last statement with a semi-colon ;
or in case of plots you can use plt.show()
