That's awesome to hear! I'm taking the Coursera class now, and it's been great so far. It just started a couple weeks ago, so it definitely isn't too late to join!

- psbp 13y agoI wish Coursera followed the Udacity model. I always find out about these classes after they're already weeks in progress or over.
- berberous 13y agoCheck out class-central.com for a list of all current and upcoming classes. Coursera also lets you star a specific class and get notified if they are repeated in a new cycle.
- nkraft 13y agoUnless you're attached to getting a certificate of completion, you can pretty much follow the Udacity model. As long as the course hasn't finished, sign up and get around to the videos and assignments when you get to them. There isn't the same discussion forum interchange, and your homework isn't graded, but they don't drop the class from your list even if you do nothing during the run.
- packetslave 13y agoNote that you'll want to be careful to cache the materials offline if you do this, especially if you plan on "catching up" after the formal end date for the class. Some of the courses (notably the Princeton algorithms ones) disable access to the materials once the official course ends.
- pfg 13y agoYou can star any Coursera class to receive notifications whenever new sessions are announced. Also, I believe it's still possible to join the current session (first assignment was due this weekend, but you can turn it in late with just a 20% penalty.)
- visarga 13y agoI take new courses at any time, even if they have ended. Later on, when they recycle, I can do them all over again with ease.
- etherealG 13y agothanks very much for pointing this out, joined the class now, hope i can catch up
- ivanist 13y agoHaha me too late to the party. I just joined. Frantically watching the video lectures since the assignments are due today (hard deadline)!
- pfg 13y agoOkay, now you got me scared. The hard deadlines for all my assignments are on July 8th 8:59AM (that's CEST, so it's probably July 7th in PST.)
- ivanist 13y agoI took this one https://www.coursera.org/course/ml https://www.coursera.org/course/ml and it started on Apr 22 and ends around July 1st I think. So not sure what course you are talking about.
- pfg 13y agoWell, this is weird. I'm taking the exact same course and here's what I see for the first programming assignment: http://i.imgur.com/GyEwcUG.png http://i.imgur.com/GyEwcUG.png (same with review questions)
- ivanist 13y agoSorry my bad. I was under that assumption since I saw that the hard deadline for review questions were today, so I thought that must hold for the programming assignment.
- guiambros 13y agoKeep it going! I attended the very first one (~75%), and then did a second time last year. It was then easy to get to a perfect 100% score, having done most of the exercises during the first time. It is one of the best Coursera classes. I had a blast, and strongly recommend it. I decided to continue learning ML, mostly because Prof. Ng.
- primaryobjects 13y agoI'm also taking the class. Just finished the logistic regression programming assignment. Great stuff. You can take those algorithms and kind of add a bit of magic to your software.
