It's really a great course for the beginner to begin with the machine learning basics.

This is an incredibly dry course from the University of Michigan. In typical academic fashion, it churns out a bunch of lectures, expects you to remember the content, then throws you straight into some quite complicated problems. Half the time, these problems don't even work and you have to dive into the forums to find out how to correct mistakes that the content providers have failed to correct themselves, even several years down the line. There are iPython notebooks you can use to follow along with the lectures, but really they could do with useful information and explanation embedded within them, which is one of the main strengths of iPython notebooks and has been sorely underutilised here. If the course material were presented in a more interactive and engaging manner, the learner might be more motivated and engaged when solving assignment problems. As it is, unless you have prior knowledge or experience within the field, or a mountain load of free time, it's more an education in frustration than machine learning.
It was really great and improved my knowledge of machine learning algorithms. However the assignment were so diffrent from what have been teached in the courses.
very good course totally recommend it
I have done several of Coursera Courses and also from Udacity (Deep Learning Nanodegree) and I find the courses from the University of Michigan really good. This one for Machine Learning is really specialized for the Application of Machine Learning Algorithms. Sometimes a little too superficial, but it is enough for start working with Machine Learning. The Test at the end of the week are a little difficult but you learn alot from them :-)
Good course, but the labs have quite a few bugs in them.
EXTREMELY USEFUL AND GOOD COURSE, CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVE.
Honestly, I never thought I could learn so much in an online course, excited for the rest of the specialization
Very Nice course
best course for machine learning
Excellent course, and awesome teacher. He knows his stuff!!!!
