Some good points for comparison: http://www.scipy.org/NumPy_for_Matlab_Users IMHO, it's best to prototype in Octave and then build in python. I find that the Matlab/Octave syntax is too focused on linear algebra, so it's better for small

I am not sure that Octave preforms as fast as MatLab; for example, I think MatLab does a better job in parallelizing non-vectorized code.

I agree. The PGM class is much more challenging than the machine learning and algorithm classes, even though (or perhaps, because) Tim and Andrew are doing such a terrific job with the videos of ML and Alg, respectively. One also notices a

There could be other time-based methods to encourage students, rather than hard deadlines. For instance, suppose the class had a bag with unlimited (or large) number of question, and required each student to score 100 points to pass. Studen
