This was a terrific course; the instructors' are passionate and knowledgeable about the course material, the assignments are engaging and relevant, and the length of the videos feels "just right".

Very good course. I liked very much the way the topics were presented and explained. I especially appreciate David Dye's clarity of explanations, enthusiasm, passion, and joyful attitude. Thank you.

i have not learned python so i am unable to do the assignments... the classes are too good to miss a certificate, but only if i could manage the assignment...

Forums are a bit dead. Most helpful (and frequent) answers are a link to khan academy videos explaining the same thing, but better.

The final module went too fast and skipped over a lot of explanation. this really does under the good parts up to week four.

I had to go outside this course to get and understanding of what they were talking about. This could greatly be imporved!

Not nearly enough detail on the concepts. I had to watch all of Khan Academy's Linear Algebra course to understand.

There are few or no worked out examples, making it hard to solve quizes.

This is absolutely not a beginner's course. The professors did well at explaining but there is a huge gap between what I've heard and what I've done in the exercises. There is not enough information to complete the exercises. When they recommended Khan Academy as a reference source, I feel that it should be a complete whole alternative set of source instead of a supplementary source because Khan Academy explains much slower but in-depth. 5 weeks is not enough for me to go from scratch to an advanced learner. I couldn't retain what I've learnt too because all I heard were words that mean nothing to a novice like me.

This course seems to be barely supported - there are questions in the discussion forums that are years old. Seems ICL has just chucked up sone lecture content and some barely related programming labs with little real thought. I am now going in search of better resources to asctually help me understand what Linear Algebra is all about and how I would actually apply any knowledge of the topic in Python programming. If I was a cynic I'd say ICl just chucked this up to make q feq quick bucks. Really disappointed with very little attempt to ensure students are actually learning through these materials.

I wish I had read the most recent reviews for this course. I thought that by taking an online course, they would have produced a course that had a logical flow to it. I was trying to get caught up on some math that I missed taught by a TA that was all over the place. This was the wrong platform. I had to figure out what the first teacher was talking about by going online and learning it there. I was looking for a structured course that would teach me some basics. Not worth the money.

The lectures don't cover the material in the quizzes. The only supplemental material is a single, incomplete formula sheet. In fact, it's hard to see what resources they are trying to provide other than a forum where other users fill in the many gaps and suggest alternate sources of information. Maybe it picks up significantly in weeks 4 and 5, but after going through weeks 1-3, spending most of my time trawling the forums and looking for study/learning materials on other sites, I'm done.
