    Taking this course as its part of the Microsoft Professional Program AI Track. I was very excited to take this course but found it too shallow. Had I not watched the lectures of the CS224N on youtube, i would have been struggled to understand the content. The assignments too involve executing the notebooks and confirming you executed them.

    I was looking forward to take this course as its the only live NLP course on Edx right now. But unfortunately, the accent of the teacher is too strong and becomes completely ununderstandable at times. (I am a native English speaker)
