The content is great, however there were problems with Open CV affecting the model functioning.

Too many errors in the course material and a lack of adequate help fixing the problems.

This course's last assignment is with error. I am unable to submit the assignment.

More practical knowledge but less technical knowledge.

I hope they fix the platform they are using

Doesn't show nothing about computer vision

Good course but lot of technical issues

bad codes

A gargantuan amount of contents crammed into one small course: OpenCV, Numpy, Pillow, Pytorch, Scikit-learn, Normal Neural Networks, Convolutional Neural Networks, Hyper-parameters search, Fine-tuning, Deployment strategies. I must have forgotten something for sure. Okay for revision, if you have already learned the stuff elsewhere. Absolutely no chance you will remember any of it 1 week after completion otherwise.

A ton of projects, but all just click-through or copy-and-paste a-la Udemy style. One could absolutely understand none of the given code and easily end up with 100% grade from quizzes that only test basic knowledge or could be brute-forced. That is, if you are lucky and don't get docked marks during inadequate peer-assessment. All it takes is just one grumpy student to drop your grade into oblivion... without any feedback or reasons given... possibly because you previously flagged their totally empty submission.

And don't even get me started about IBM constantly pitching their Watson and CV Studio, which no one uses... Which doesn't even work half of the time. Good luck deploying your model on the last project!

Unfortunately, this was the third course in the certificate. If only it were the first one, I would have abandoned this cursed specialization like some dirty diapers.

I have participated in many courses on IBM but this is the first course that I feel very bad. The only good point is the first 2 weeks where they teach you the insights of Pillow and OpenCV. The rest is terrible. I feel like the knowledge is given without a clear explanation. The LAB Section is probably only for Python experts, you won't understand what they do at all if you haven't learned Pytorch before. Just run cell, look at the result, then run cell, look at the result, run cell, and so on... The final project is just like a slideshow no more no less, you follow the steps and show out results, done. You will not learn anything from data-processing step to refine-model step. I gave 2 Stars simply because I was inherently sympathetic to IBM before, but with this course itself, all was disappointment.

This course has some of most interesting labs from all this certificate. However, they are full of bugs and outdated information. I spent hours searching for tips and workarounds in the foruns. By the way all my questions are still there waiting for answers.

Overall, it was a frustating experience mixed with some some interesting technologies and approaches.

Course content is good. Too many issues & errors in getting CV Studio working. Submitting assignment had been the most time consuming and frustrating task. People are struggling to submit the assignment and discussion forums are full with these system errors.

I have a lot of problems and issues with this course. And the last 2 questions of the final assignment are not very easy to understand what is it you want. My experience has been so bad I am just glad it is over

Good course, but terribly maintained Lab and Capstone project. Lab has been broken for two weeks. Coursera has however agreed to cancel the last monthly charge, but the labs need some serious TLC…

The cource content was a good overview of nerual networks and thier use in computer vision. The labs however where sloppily put together, and in most cases, not formatted correctly.

Some of the practice notebooks don't seem finished. CVStudio is very unreliable and doing the final project didn't really work (lots of comments in the forum but no action)

Great tech, great teachers, completely let down by course material that is almost always broken, out-of-date, or buggy.

Completey broken tools and incomplete directions make a great topic hard to follow

it was based on the tool which basically does not work

many problems with CVstudio and skills network lab

I was expecting the course to be focused on machine vision and image processing, however it only has about 1 hour on extremely basic open cv techniques that i could have learnt off youtube. the rest is machine learning and ai (which would be fine if done properly). The ai bits in it are brushed over in the videos, merely mentioned or spoken about with no context, then the labs are completely useless, entire portions of the setting up the models are done with no code annotation (apart from ' Download the files needed to build the model: ', several of the labs dont even work and have errors in them, the online jupyter note books crash every time you load one. the tests are a complete joke, completely pointless questions ('which of these is not classed as machine learning') and one of the tests had the same question twice (out of 5 questions).

IBM and whoever working for them who wrote this should be ashamed. its total crap.

Id be very angry if id paid for it myself.

If you actually want to learn something about machine learning go on youtube, DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS

Worst course so far I've done in Coursera (and I think this one must be my tenth or eleventh). If you are interested in getting any kind of concepts or explanation on why and how computing vision works this course will be completely useless for you.

This is just a collection of pretty superficially explained recipes and I guess its only value is to be able to show off a pointless badge from the not so prestigious IBM (at least in my country Span, and I know what I'm talking about I've been an IT professional for more than tewnty years)

You will not learn anyhing from here but some familiarity with Jupyter notebooks, python and a lot of suffering with that crappy IBM online tool

Very bad course, if you have a decent knowledge on the subject, then its not for you. On ther other hand if you are novice then you shouldnt start with that. However its greatest problem is that you must use a specific platform (CV studio) to train your models, which doesnt work properly, therefore you have a hard time to finish the course. Although i must congratulate coursera support center who helped me a lot to overcome this issue and claim my badge at the end.

I am very dissapointed with the course. idm's vision.skills.network works very poorly. i reported a few bugs but hadn't received and feedback from their support team. I couldn't complete course assignments with this bugs and after being charged second months fee for the course i had to give up. Unfortunately there is no refund option either. Coursera's suport on this metter is very poor too. waste of money.

CV Studio has too many issues. It did not setup account first and support is not avaiable. You have to search really deep to find customer support and wait for long. CV Studio alone has too many maintenance issues that I could not make any progress for two weeks. I leaned nothing from CV Studio. They need to overhaul the workflow or make CV Studio stable enought to tie up with Coursera.
