Just to clarify: These aren't the same thing as the ai-class (http://www.ai-class.com http://www.ai-class.com) that has gotten all the buzz. This program has been around for a while and only(1) offers downloadable materials (videos of lectures + pdfs of assignments/handouts etc.) (1) "only" seems a terrible way of putting it. The materials/lecturers are amazing even if you never have your assignments graded.

thanks, I totally didn't notice that!

The Machine Learning, and Databases classes are like the AI class on the new system, with quizzes and a statement from the professor about how you did at the end. At least the intro videos for the ML class stated as such and I got that impression from the database class as well.

  Am I the only one yearning for the convex optimization I & II classes to be offered in the new style?

    Indeed, best courses on SEE by quite a wide margin.

      I took those via HCP (which is like SEE but for 3x the usual grad student rate) and he's a great teacher. He's not one to let his smarts get in the way of teaching, which is not true of all the professors at Stanford.

    I would love to take a second shot at a convex optimization course. I took one from a former PhD student of Boyd's during my junior year of college and I was not at the right point in my education for a class like that. It touched on some really great real world optimization problems, including an interesting couple of lectures on the Netflix prize.
