This was a great course for learning how to use scikit learn for machine learning. It was also a good review of ML concepts. I recomend it to anyone who wants to use their ML skills in Python but it is not a beginner course unless. you have a lot of time.

The way the instructor explained complex topics such as overfitting and data leakage is phenomenal. Thank you for the course.
Principles are good and well presented, and the excercises well made and challenging. Unfortuantely the Python is getting way of date, making it difficult to use the answers you may find when looking at the docs of scikit-learn, pandas etc, since they create incompatibilities with the ancient dependencies expected by the autograder.
The content just needs a modest amount of love to bring it up to date with current tooling.
Lot's of problems with automatic grader. Please fix.
The course material is very good and the explanation is excellent. It can be improved much more if the python and used libraries are updated to more current versions.
It covered a lot of important topic/ concerpt. Very structure program.
Many videos are out of sync with what the professor is saying or, in other occasions, only shows what the professor is saying very briefly.
Good materials but not easy exams
Good course. I love it
I didn't like the course very much, I was expecting more details in the coding part, but I only watched Mr. Collins-Thompson reading the code without making a deeper description of it, by compairing it with the two previous courses this one hasn't been as well as the others. Fortunately, I found it on free with my MOOC but if you have to pay for it, I trully recommend you to buy the Andrew Ng's course available on Coursera as well.
Finally I would like to say that this course was developed in 2017 or 2018 and it hasn't been changed or updated, you can find MANY mistakes on the labs at the end of each week, so if you're going to make the labs, I recommend you to take a look a the forums first instead of go ahead with the first ones, or maybe you're going to take 0/100 in each evaluation. So please update it, and maybe post the slides of each lesson, that will help on each exam wich are difficult for the way the lessons are taught.
