I found the course is full of fun and very useful too. Highly recommend it to friends and colleagues.

The specialisation is amazing, although this capstone is not great. You do get some nice example code and insight into how to solve real world problems based on the other material provided within the specialisation, yet the assignments are next to meaningless as all you do is executing someone elses code.
Starts strong but gets a little light with actual coding towards the end. You will need to be very dedicated in tracing existing code to get anything out of those sections, otherwise you are just running programs that already exist and taking a screen shot of them...not much learning for that. You will always only get as much out of a class as you put in, but this class will make it tempting to let you get by with minimal effort and perhaps confuse you to think you are actually learning. Nothing beats hands on programing and problem solving.
The course is widely explained. Dr. Chuck makes it simpler.
A very useful course. Give me the very first sense of data mining.
The capstone really put all the previous material together
A good way to see how it works a real complex code and to understand the connection with a database
great concept and really really great teaching !
Assignments could be a lot better
Could have been more challenging and maybe used the Jupyter notebook I've seen in other courses from Michigan to create a more challenging capstone project.
