The lectures have been amazing! Both instructors are awesome - it's obvious that they are experts in this domain. They both have the ability to explain concepts in such a way that they can be understood. The slides are also very helpful and provide a solid reference point for the topics discussed thus far. Overall, very happy that I am taking this course and would definitely recommend to colleagues/friends

Thank you so much for coordinating an awesome course. The assistant instructor was really great in exposing to us how course material is applied in production-level environment. I also like the instructor's approach of pushing us to build from fundamental to real-project using Pytorch first. And then progressing to Tensorflow. Personally, I think it's a super awesome course, but I believe you really have to dig yourself into the contents and dedicate many head-banging hours. But course material is very practical both in theory and application. Thanks much
