Nice MOOC and very nice (and very patient) pedagogical team!

Before I started that mooc I did several trainings on scikit learn and I thought naively I will just refresh my mind. Nothing was less true: I learned a lot here :grinning:
I specially thank the pedagogical team. I asked a lot of questions and I had always answers.
So big cheer for them :+1: :+1: :+1:
Since it’s the first version of that mooc there is some problems there and there but nobody is perfect :rofl:

I see in Introduction — Scikit-learn course that you intend to add modules to talk about feature selection and interpretation. These very important parts of machine learning are indeed missing and it ll be great if you add them in next version.

If you need people to beta-test the next version do not hesitate to ask me. I ll be very happy to help you as a quite naive beta-tester.

Thanks a lot for your feed-back!

There is definitely some room for improvement in this MOOC and we will try to address the problems that you and others reported in this forum for the second MOOC session.

Once this first session is over, we need to discuss what will be included in the second MOOC session and its timing.

If you need people to beta-test the next version do not hesitate to ask me. I ll be very happy to help you as a quite naive beta-tester.

Great thanks! We will definitely keep you in mind for potential beta-testers.

While I am here, I felt at times your wording in some questions was slightly harsh. Maybe there is some bias here, because you ask plenty of questions pointing this MOOC shortcomings :wink: (and you were right in a lot of cases by the way).

Anyway here is something you may want to read How to Contribute to Open Source | Open Source Guides. I know communication is hard and as you said “nobody is perfect” :wink: (definitely including me …). Note this is from an open-source context, but some of it definitely applies outside of it.

Point taken but I’m not an english speaker and I’m a old mediterranean guy ( a mix beetween sicilan and south of france bloods :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:). So it’s very hard for me to talk (and write) like very polite and refined old London people :grin:
My will is not hurt but to understand and help as much as I can.
As you already see I’ll try to help people in the forum in the next future with the understanding I had from your lectures.

PS: Are you not also a bit mediterranean? That could explain the use in your lessons of words like ‘dramatically’, ‘drasticaly’ and so on :laughing:

Yeah that’s part of the reasons why I said communication is hard …

Thanks a lot for this, this is really great to see this kind of interactions between users indeed!

PS: Are you not also a bit mediterranean?

Most pedagogical team members for this MOOC session are French. I’ll let you decide whether that counts as Mediterranean and whether that is a good feature to predict anything :wink:
