first time taking a course using Coursera...material was very interesting and well explained. I wish there was a way to speed up the audio track a little to shorten the lecture length. hard for the lecturer to engage with an audience that is not there, but both tried to do so.

I found this course very useful for me to get in to basics and back ground of recommendations. Each topic is presented and discussed quite in detail . I also found the interviews with various expert in Recommendations very insightful. Thanks you Joe and Micheal.

Very informative course! I had a great learning experience working on the programming assignments required for honors. The only drawback is the style of communication (written and spoken) is elaborate and confuses many non-native English speakers including me.

There is a need to have this course in Python or some other statistical programming language. Simple reason is that a lot of budding data scientists are not coming from CS background and dont have necessary skillset in Java. Else the course is good.

I think some of the interviews didn't really give me great insights. I know this is only an introduction, but I was expecting more fields than movies. I am overly critical though, all in all a very good way to understand recommendation systems.

I am very new to recommendation system and yet able to comprehend the lessons. The best thing is explaining the system with example. Walking through Amazon.com and explaining content based and collaborative filtering is easy to grasp.

I think it could be fun if there were simple assignments which could be done in python. Java can be a bit heavy and a lot of the time goes with figuring out the framework. :)

The course and its content was quite interesting and easy, so I will be taking the next course in this specialization of Recommender System Specialization

A complete introduction to the topic. Some interviews are lacking of audio and video quality. The assignments are pretty suitable to the content.

More information on Programming Assignment would have been helpful . Overall a good course to begin the specialization

The course was a good one with content that's understandable. I can't wait to proceed to the next one

Great introduction to Recommender systems. Really got me thinking about how I could apply them.

done it by audit, thnks!!! great stuff guys... but should do some practice in python!

Please update the specialization, it's 2022, and the course slides are from 2016.

The course was easy to understand. but i find the slides not much of help.

I think this is a good course to start exploring recommendation systems.

I'd really like trying coding, but there's no Python option..

videos are too long... I had to watch them with x2 speed...

Too theoretical. I hope other parts will have more details.

It would be better to make practice on Python.

Would've liked honor to be in Python

Content is too old

Great course.

Great course

not so deep
