As a stanford CS grad myself, I basically concur. I took this class as a refresher for things I learned back in school. It was perfect for that. But the rigor and difficulty of the class was clearly tailored towards someone like me, who wanted to watch lecture videos over dinner for a few hours a week, rather than a full-time student.
I actually wasn't aware that the online class was being offered for credit in the CS department until reading this. It surprises me that they're doing so.
- erlis 15y agoI did the AI class and that was not the case. Stanford students were clearly separated from the online students. We didn't get the same assignments neither.
- dlo 15y agoI took CS221 last quarter. So I can say that you got the same assignments and exams; you just weren't required to do the programming assignments. While ml-class was perhaps the third iteration of putting the machine learning class online, ai-class was probably the first time someone tried to put CS221 online; the professors simply felt that they wouldn't be able to automate the assignments in the time that they had. In fact, many of the YouTube lectures, which many Stanford students seemed to prefer, were often not available to us in time for the assignments and exams.
