I second this! I have taken 7 Coursera classes, and most of them "lightly": just doing as much work as I needed to for passing the class, with just a few classes that I did put a lot of energy into. Andrew's class was in this second category: I kept taking the tests and tweaking the homework assignments over and over again until I got a 99.5% score in the class. His class was lots of fun and also very useful material. Recommended!!

Yes, unfortunately his partner, Daphne Koller, though very esteemed academically, made me feel very frustrated in the PGM class. Not the same great feeling of clarity.

In case this comment dissuades others from checking out Dr. Koller's class, I will add that I found her class challenging and well-constructed. I recommend it.
