In truth, I was expecting a much more demanding course; and perhaps in a couple of weeks things will be more up to speed. As of now, the material covered is fairly fundamental and far from engaging. The former is understandable given that it's just started and the latter's certainly on Thrun and his inability to communicate effectively. I wonder when Norvig will finally intervene.
I'm following the Machine Learning class as well and the content is also very basic, but Ng is an outstandingly engaging lecturer. Unlike Thrun, who breathes heavily on the camera and can not seem to spell properly nor formulate coherent quiz questions (curiously, the Homework Assignment was very clear).
Yudkowsky does a much better job at explaining Bayes' Theorem…
