Pretty easy course overall but a bit dry at times. Course content was interesting with the syllabus talking about issues like how to fix the cold start problem and the chicken and egg problem. Also talked about crossing the chasm and other network effects. Really the course is theoretical with AI assignments for application to apply those theories in cool ways like using Claude and GPT to generate ads and run simulations. If you’re in upper year and looking for a laid back but cool course take this.
