   The question would be whether the time spent on this program compares to what one would be able to accomplish on their own, and whether the difference is worth the price tag. From my experiences with GT, I am apprehensive about the quality

   My criticism is precisely that feedback was lacking. The assignments were only graded on submission - there was no feedback there (likely because every student worked with different data so going in-depth would have required the grad studen

    As someone who completed a (on-campus) CS masters at GT, I really wish I didn't. The classes were of very poor quality - it was clear that they were a low priority for most faculty. Andrew Ng's Coursera class on Machine Learning w
