excessive use of GraphLab create which is not an industry standard.

Well designed, but too outdated. No learning support at all.

Two stars because of GraphLab! Otherwise great concepts!

This is out of date. I cannot get week one to work.

Very disappointed in this course. It is taught using a niche library called "Turicreate", which is not compatible with Windows and is only compatible up to Python 3.8. With much difficulty I managed to install it using WSL and an older Python version - only to then find the lectures are taught in GraphLab, a different albeit similar library. While it was stated that all the notebooks had been updated to TuriCreate, the very first notebook I opened was still in GraphLab. Moreover, since nobody in industry actually uses Turicreate, it feels pointless to build up working knowledge of this library which you will never use again after completion. Overall dissatisfied and have abandoned the course.

This course defenitely needs a major overhaul. While both the Lecturers did an amazing job in handling lectures, the programming assignemets were a nightmare to me. For instance, this course was designed in python 2xx and used certain libraries that were once accessible to everyone. However, they are now propreitry and cannot be accessed witout buying them. So had to use packages like pandas and numpy in python 3xx. So anyone thinking of doing this course, make sure u have adequate support using these packages in python 3xx. Defenitely not a course for beginner.

WHY YOU MAKE THIS SO HARD TO US TO INSTALL THE PACKAGES AND THE LIBRARIES???

I HAVE TO UNENROLL THE COURSE BECAUSE I COULDNT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OF HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE STUPID TURI. IN ALL OTHER COURSES THEY SAY DOWNLOAD THIS FILES AND USE THEM ... BUT NOOOO YOU HAD TO MAKE IT SO DIFFICULT .. WE HAVE TO USE CMD AND MAKE VIRTUAL MACHINE AND DOWNLOAD FROM THERE AND THEN DOWNLOAD JUPITER AND INSTAL AND YOU DONT EVEN GIVE THE RIGHT INSTRUCTIONS... I HAD TO SEARCH TO GOOGLE YOUTUBE ANS STILL YOUR STUPID PACKAGES ARE A PAIN IN THE A$$

The teachers are stiff and, although they say the course involves a case study approach, you start with the basic Python assignments that will not apply to the cases. Also, they push a tech that does not seem to be the most commonly used one in Machine Learning. I wish Coursera would put a date on these courses so we can see when the courses are older, and therefore expect the content to be outdated.

Plenty of issues with this course. The main issue is with the assignments. The instructions use graphLab but we have to use turicreate and sometimes this gets confusing.

The material is outdated.

The assignments do not have a clear structure. Too much jargon. A clear step-wise approach would have been better.

Disappointed overall.

Requires outdated software that doesn't run on Windows and doesn't run on Python newer than 3.8 (2019 release!). Getting the package they recommend (Turicreate) to work on a new machine is a huge headache. They also haven't updated the videos in years it seems. The response time from instructors is too long. Poorly done!

The tools needed for the course were impossible or nearly impossible) to get set up. The discussion forums were full of users struggling and others offering very complex and ways to try, yet none of them seemed to work. I spent about 5 hours failing to install the tools and finally quit the class.

i wish i read the reviews before starting this course... it is well explained but the fact that i am unable to load a dataframe due to being on windows is mindboggeling and greedy from the creators of the course (that happen to be the creators of this package). just aweful

Please mention that users need to use turicreate and sframes etc "only" to complete the assignments.

it is wrongly mentioned that one can complete assignments using any tool but very first assignment is forcing us to use turicreate and sFrames !!

After an entire day and all the tutorials and instructions, TuriCreate still does not run (Windows)... without it, the course is pointless... too bad, otherwise great inputs and instructors

Uses Outdated graphlab. Very difficult to follow the instructions. Tried using the turicreate but its very problematic. The courses should ease of use tools rather than something outdated.

Software installation was a big trouble and took nearly month as this course was in graphlab, but we need to use turicreate or other toolset.

You'll spend more time trying to get the correct versions and plugins working than you will studying. The course needs updating.

Started this course with great enthusiasm but end up with frustration on being unable to install Turi Create with python 3.10.

This course is out of date and really useless at this point. Do not waste your time. None of the code or examples work.

This course is very old and waste of time because libraries used in here are not available for new versions of python.

Out-of-date content without support on how to set things up. Wasted 10 hours just to try and get things to work.

Impossible to activate turi create on windows. it's a waste of time to discover during the course.

poorly structed with questions & answers

the packages used for the course has been out dated

very bad , theyuse SF frames which is not in use now ..very hard to do the quiz

Installation of Sforce and turi was not shown adequately enough.
