    About the Course

    This introductory course is designed for beginners with no prior knowledge of generative AI. You will start by gaining a high-level understanding
    of what generative AI is and how it works. Through interactive lessons and hands-on examples, you will learn fundamental skills like providing
    effective prompts and iteratively improving the generated outputs. As the course progresses, you will dive deeper into specific major
    generative AI models, including their unique capabilities and limitations. Finally,, you will get practical experience using leading systems like
    GitHub Copilot, DALL-E, and OpenAI to generate code, images, and text. By the end, you will have developed core knowledge...

    Modules 1 and 2 are definitely introductory material. Modules 3 and 4 require a decent amount of understanding of coding (Python).

    There are much better intro courses on Coursera. The first few modules are fine, but as it gets into more intermediate concepts like RAG, the quality falls off significantly. Lecture content is fine, but the labs have incorrect or missing instructions, the quizzes are phoned in and in some cases have incorrect answers marked as correct, and the professors are MIA in discussions despite dozens of questions the course forums. Huge motivation killer and not at all the course I would recommend for someone who is interested in getting started, especially since there are many better supported courses on this platform.

    Fewer headshot videos. More slides to summarize key points. The first 3 modules need better English to ensure more effective examples for Prompt Engineering. And those modules could easily be shortened as it just takes knowing the key terms and doing 1 or 2 labs. Doing the labs through video is painful. Better to set-up labs with side-bar tutorial so a person doesn't rely on low resolution. Especially with Notebooks, you can easily type out the instructions or link to a video demo/gif if needed of that step. Rather than external labs, especially for HTTP API, be better to have an internal lab. Better quality code share in 4th Module

    The first three modules are well-constructed; however, the fourth module appears quite disjointed and out of place. Additionally, the fourth module contains several assessments with ambiguous questions, some of which have double meanings. One question, in particular, includes information that is entirely irrelevant to the topic and outdated. The instructor presented a chart as a point of interest and then the question asked for the percentage represented by a specific bar in the chart.

    Nice course on "Introduction to Generative AI". It was a brief introduction to Gen AI concepts and how to use LLM APIs to create custom applications. Truly beginner level course.

    Modules 1-3 were good. Module 4 could be much better. The quality of videos was poor. Some of the quizzes marked correct answers incorrect. The material could also be better.

    The first two modules are interesting. The third module is lacking with respect to the information that is needed to do the programming work that (optionally) can be done. The programming work for fourth module is impossible to do. The messages in the forum for module 4 suggest that the course has been abandoned by its makers. the course can be completed without doing programming work, but I was really looking forward to that. My review in one word: avoid.

    The course provides only a surface-level overview of the topic, lacking depth and critical engagement.
