The videos and jupyter notebook skeletons for this class are excellent! I've learned a lot and feel much more equipped to take on machine learning problems in the future. The quizzes were also informative, although the code sections were a little unintuitive as the base code was not visible. I also benefited from the forums where most of my questions already had written answers! My one hang up with this course is that one of the instructors/TAs responding in the forums was often rude and condescending to students. The information he provided was valuable, but his wording were needlessly cutting. More than once I saw responses he gave that were poorly worded in this way.

Course is Good and Very well presented
This course has the perfect combination of theory and practice. It's Intense for a beginner In machine learning but Is absolutely worth It.
Quite challenging.
The combination of assignments and lectures worked niceley for me. Good feedback on the discussion forums, too. Only thing which should be improved is the auto grader. The course introduces a lot of algorithms, but also gives you insight into how to evaluate their performance. In the final assignment it all comes together, which is always nice :-)
Well explained course with good material in python, may be an additionnal week is needed for the unsupervised learning
Good ratio of new knowledge and experience vs mathematical and programming difficulty.
excellent course
I did learn a lot from this course and its exercises. I believe it can be a good start for beginners in Machine learning. You might have to do lots of googling to figure out a few tricks in the assignments, but that only makes you a better learner. I wish the instructor didn't just read texts from the screen. There were a few mistakes in some of the lectures, but overall I'm very happy about my achievement.
Impossible to complete the quiz and assignments without EXTENSIVE self-learning from other material. So, while the quiz and assignment forced me to find the information I needed by googling and reading and buying books, the course material itself is so high altitude as to be completely useless. I only finished because I used trial-and-error and google to pass. I learned nothing from the course, but I learned plenty from the Internet. I'm glad my company is paying for this and not me.
