Testimonials

I'm greatly enjoying the class and amazed by how much I was able to learn in one month. Signing up for this class was probably one of the best (if not the best) decisions I made this year!

Rasha

You've given a wonderful opportunity to great many people around the globe. AI has always been of a great interest to me, and you're fulfilling my wish from childhood :) Please, keep up!

Dmitry

I am convinced that learning via the internet from leaders in the field is the way forward in education. Balakrishnan

I live on a 100 acre farm in the Aussie Bush, and while I love living here, I don't meet other programmers often, let alone anyone working at the frontiers of research...for the last few weeks watching the lectures and doing the assignments has been the highlight of my week. Thank you!

Yasir

I assure you that none can be more amazed than myself at these results, since all I have is a high school degree [and] 26 years of work experience in software development and general IT. [on receiving perfect scores on all homeworks so far]

Danilo

The subjects are clearly explained and taught with a lot of enthusiasm...I really appreciate what you are doing and I quite enjoy the lectures. Thanks for all the effort you put into this.

Elias

I'm really enjoying the class, and am very grateful for the opportunity that is being offered. It's an important step in the evolution of how we spread knowledge to everyone who wants to learn.

Tim

I love the field of AI and I'm grateful for this opportunity to learn more about it. In fact, I hope to one day go back for my masters degree for it. Thank you for making this class possible...

Justin

I've heard the term A* used in the context of computer games, and Bayesian networks in the context of spam filtering. Thanks to this class, I have a much better understanding of those, and more.

Jon

Thank you so much for pushing me forward. This is just a normal result of your and Prof. Peter's amazing work.

Islam

I have never believed I would enjoy a class so much!

Konstantinos Rousis

I thought I'd tell you it's truly amazing what you are doing with this class! Just thinking, what if people could do a couple of years of online classes, and then be able to join research groups if capable?

Paul

Thank you so much for the AI class. I really have an overall understanding of the AI field in general and I think I can already identify certain areas that interest me. The classes were really well taught and presented in a way that a novice could truly understand the material.

Kin

Most interested in technology I've been for years. Several moments over the last few weeks have been literally jaw dropping. Beautiful Maths and fantastic applications. Terrific stuff, glad to have taken part. Steven

It was a super course! Over this time I learn so much new things! Now I am looking for any hours to implement those algorithms in real life.

Roman

Wonderful, really wonderful. Keep it up - you've introduced the world to a fascinating subject.

Niall

The layout of the course, small queries on lectures, weekly homeworks, mid-term and a final = extremely efficient way to learn, it is sticky. I hope more universities learn from this method, it is superior (I have 6 years of studies, up to MSc level and this is clearly the best I have seen)

Anders

Doing this course has also rekindled one of my life-long dreams to pursue a career in AI research.

Brian

Many of the good things about this class boil down to a few simple facts. Peter and Sebastian are excellent teachers with a deep knowledge of the subject matter and a real passion for the field. The team was able to adapt when problems occurred. The topic and format were handled in a way that kept everyone's interest.

Rob

I saw that you were offering free classes and my daughter took a semester off from College and I thought that this would be a fun resume builder for her. I decided to sign up too, even though I haven't been in college for over 30 years and have absolutely no experience in this field. My daughter dropped out almost immediately, but I was determined to stay with it, put hours of study in each week and see what happened. I can not tell you how much I enjoyed the class and how thrilled I am to have been exposed to Prof Thrun and Prof Norvig.

Lynda

As a home-schooled high school student, I must say I was not sure as to how well I would do in a collegiate level course...I believe that this class has much potential to encourage the youth of today to work hard to achieve something big.

Jack

I really enjoyed the class, it made me hunger for more. Not only did I learned a lot about AI and I also learned what I need to continue my personal education. I’m also energized to do it. I believe the experiment was a huge success.

Joe

This course has been one of the most rewarding education experiences I've had. Please, continue with the idea of giving people worldwide easy access to first class education.

Fernando

I never have thought that I will learn so much in short span of time with clear understanding. And by offering such courses online it provides a great opportunity for people like us who are across globe to learn from experts.

Prakash

The course is fantastic. I never knew I could use the discussed techniques in my work straightaway.

Evgeny

I worked at the AI group at NASA/Ames back in the mid-80s. The topic has changed so much since then, and this course gave me a nice framework for understanding some of the more well-understood topics in the field today.

Lance

I had never participated in an online course before, and without any doubt I can say now that this experience is simply amazing. Giving a course online has lots of benefits: anyone, anywhere, from any culture of the world, with any academic background can participate in this course... the only thing they need is an internet connection. ...I think I found my element with AI-Class. I'd like to spend my professional life in something related with AI when I finish my university studies.

Pedro

I really liked the class. I liked the format of the hand-written lectures along with the quizzes. I liked the combination of fundamental concepts with practical applications. I liked the contrast between Peter's and Sebastian's lectures and emphasis.

Jonas

Trillions of thanks to both professors! I have to admit that I paused a lot to think it over or do the quizzes. This helps me understand the content better but is only possible with a video based course. I mean, this is better than a live course.

Wei-ji

Thank you so much for your encouragement and an inspirational class. Part of it I present to my specialized high school class. what was so great: - easy to understand algorithms in practice - positive encouragement - quizzes that make you think and still are in an adequate difficulty even for new students to computer technology - showcases of uses in the "real world" - very interesting topics

Daniel

I cannot find good enough words to thank you for the great teaching experience! You've managed to transfer your enthusiasm to students and undoubtedly spur the passion for Artificial Intelligence in many hearts :)

Mario

Thank you very much for having offered this course, it is the most challenging and invigorating course I have ever taken and it has truly sparked an interest in learning that I feel will follow me through my life. As a freshman in high school there were times during which the course proved exponentially difficult for me but the pride I experienced once I realized that I understood a topic can not be replicated; it has long been a dream of mine to learn a bit the technology that provides the greatest opportunity for global improvement since the lightbulb.

Josemaria

In general, a great experience! Kudos to Sebastian, Peter, yourself, and all of the hard-working support folks involved in this groundbreaking endeavor. I tell folks that it is kind of the Online Woodstock of the digital era – a truly seminal event!

Steve

I have taken a lot of other online classes that I would describe as being better than nothing. I was prepared to see the same thing in this course. But I have to say that I have been very impressed at how completely different and successful your approach has been. (I watched the Google+ Hangout with Salman Khan.) The use of the quizzes to stimulate engagement I see now is a effective device; it worked on me.

Allyn

Two months ago Artificial Intelligence seemed like something unreachable to me. Thanks to the great work of Professors Thrun and Norvig, I have now a better understanding of a lot of topics covered by AI.
