This past week I completed the Week 4 programming assignment (ex3) and the Week 5 Lectures and Quiz. I am halfway through the Week 5 programming assignment (ex4), but I am finding it to be more difficult than previous assignments. In order to gain a better understanding of neural networks, I watched 3Blue1Brown's series on Neural Networks which covers material from Week 4 and 5, but with helpful animations and new intuitions. The chapter 4 video was especially useful for understanding the derivation of backpropagation. I hope to complete ex4 this week and get through Week 6 content by next week.
