Now all they need to do is make an advanced paid version. Find some grad students to run the thing so they can grade more complex assignments, and answer questions.
It does make me wonder if this is a beta for a real online degree program.
- fionabunny 15y agoI hope these beta course credits will still count when they ship.
- huherto 15y agoAn interesting area may be to develop software that can grade assignments in different disciplines.

- gujk 15y agoThat's puffery. These courses are not Stanford quality. The lectures maybe, but not the homework and assessments, and there is no research at all.
- stordoff 15y agoPresumably the $2000 course fee would allow for more formal and rigorous assessments to be used (e.g. hiring a test centre and giving a written, hand-marked exam). That said, I think the DB and ML class homeworks have been very good, given the limitations they have.
