On Reddit: "I did it last year, but from what I know it's been that way for a while. The content is quite shallow and the learning experience can be a bit jank. I'd worked with neural networks before so I just stuck around for the free HD."
On Reddit: "Took it last year, would agree that the lectures aren't great. I watched the prerecorded and did the online notebooks which i found reasonably easy to follow. I think the assignments are fun but yeah, not something you *have* to take if you wanna know about neural networks imo."
