Firstly, damn there are a lot of TAs for the course! Secondly, it's pretty interesting how the course team has basically automated everything from homework submission checking to PDF report validation. I wonder how many students are taking the course?

As for the course itself, it seems quite interesting. Too bad I already have a lot on my plate.

I imagine there's a metric shit ton of students due to the recent memification of machine learning.

I am a student at online MS from Georgia Tech and a large number of TAs is pretty usual there too.

Incidentally right now I am taking the AI course there and the assignments submission and checking is automated to the core. There are a few hiccups though but the team of TAs is super responsive and working through it.

I think these are the things that should be automated by default in most courseworks as it frees up time for more important things. I see we have a lot of office hours in my course and I can basically jump to any running hangout based office-hour within few hours from the time I have a question.

Sadly, viewing the videos requires login with a Stanford ID. For those inclined to learning through videos like me, this is a good alternative resource for the same - https://see.stanford.edu/Course/CS229

More than that, you have to be an enrolled student, SUnetid is not enough

What a coincidence: I actually just started grad school this year at GT but in ECE! Awesome, it's good to hear that the online MS is running smoothly. I don't think the CS department here is as large as Stanford's though, but I'm not totally sure.

Great! Good luck for your grad school journey.

I am mostly finishing up with my degree. And yes I have heard that CS department is not as large but the OMSCS is scaling up very quickly.
