I have signed up for and dropped so many Coursera courses because I have a family and a job and eventually have a week where I can’t give the course attention. All the previous work at that point is down the drain. I totally agree about the “terrible” lectures and quizzes. Coursera clearly does not vet the quality of its courses, instructors or materials. Andrew Ng’s original ML course was wonderful, though a bit too easy. However, many of the recent courses lack the pedagogical polish of his course. Many courses seem to be written by novice professors or old school cats unfamiliar with the required technology. I have ceased taking Coursera seriously.
