Most of the courses of this specialisation (not only on prob) are VERY hard to follow. Instructors lack of passion while teaching and they just reading the script from the slides. Whatever I passed and learned was from random sources at the internet.

To the instructors: Take a blackboard and start solving the problems by hand. By reading a long queue of numbers from slides for 10min, the student can't follow at all. This is not a simple presentation, this is math topics. You can't just pass a slide full of numbers and some sentences thinking that the student can comprehend all that stuff.

On the other hand, on the 3rd party quizzes has been made a magnificent job.

While I imagine Alexander Shen to be a great person and a math genius, he seems entirely unprepared for the lectures. He speaks well, I can understand his accent, but his lack of preparation and poor slides make a difficult situation terrible. The other instructors do a much better job, but I also wish there were more tests of our knowledge.

Quite enjoyable, however Alex is not the strongest presenter though his passion is evident :)

Hard to understand lecturer

Super interesting the topic about combinatorics

Great! Challenging final project but worth trying!

Fantastic course! Really like Vladimir Podolskii's explanations and sense of humor. Great dice game at the end!

Excellent, thanks.

useful

Content of this course is excellent. Basic Python programming skill is required for this course.

The final project is hard for me cuz I don't have Python experience. and the logic is a little bit complicated. That's not for absolutely beginners!

Good first course in probability/combinatorics at the university level; last assignment had a lot more coding than other assignments, a lot more

Concepts are presented in such a way that a novice can understand easily. For an advanced learner, there are concepts that are lit from a different perspective. Not all the instructors are equally competent. Sometimes you have to watch the videos twice to get the full understanding. But that's worth of your time. Overall enjoyable. Programming practices are also good and of intermediate quality.

I really enjoyed taking this course. The teaching was pretty good and some of the quiz questions will challenge you if you haven't done Combinatorics before.

pure math course...

Loved it

This course will fill your head with numbers.

This one is a bit more 'mathy' than the first one, it has a good pace and the exercises are really cool

I like the course very much! Thanks a lot guys, keep creating new courses!

Really nice introduction to discrete math and basic algorithms. The content is quite basic, but as mentioned in the syllabus is for beginners. Still, for those of you who are at that level is worth taking this specialization.

Excellent course! Thanks for the effort of the course team!

It is a pretty good course. although I have learnt probability theory both in undergraduate and postgraduate level, it still gives me some inspiration toward probability theory. I love the examples given in the lecture, which are classical and typical enough. Some paradoxes examples help me to understand the probability theory better and clearer.

Excellent and complete course. I completely recommend it

Clear and concise lectures, mixed with examples rooted in daily life makes this offering of the course one of the best courses for probability for the general audience. The instructors easily manage to convey and teach non-intuitive facts with ease. A must have.

informative material presented clearly and simply. I had studied bayes before and it was nice to get a concise review.
