Great Learning

The MIT-Great Learning Advanced Data Science program helped me accelerate my learning journey;. Below are some of the key highlights
1. Preparation: The prerequisites coursework available to students without a statistics or programing background are amazing and get you prepared to get the most of the course. Even though I had this background a refresher certainly helped
2. Theory to Practice: The format of the course is excellent. We had amazing MIT Faculty go through concepts in the week and you have industry mentors that help you re-enforce it and bring you into the practical aspects of programing and analyzing on the weekend sessions. This is truly in line with MIT Motto of 'Mens et Manus' (Mind and Hand)
3. Support & Infrastructure: The Great Learning Olympus portal and the program management staff are excellent, accommodative and helpful all along, which made the administrative aspect of accessing excellent course content, managing assignments and seeking support simple and effective.
Overall, I would highly recommend this course to both engineers, tech leaders and business strategy leaders. For me personally, I hope to take this learning to build out the AI/ML strategy in my organization.  This is a journey and there is a lot more to learn, but this course sets you up for it well.

I have been working in software engineering since 1998. I never stop learning new technologies in my career, but rarely have I decided to take a program lasting multiple months. In 2023, like everyone else, I was completely captivated by the power of AI with the help of LLM tools like ChatGPT. Luckily, my past colleagues had taken UT’s Post Graduate Program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and strongly recommended it to me. I am glad that I took their advice! 

The program provided by Great Learning has some nice features that stand out from the crowd. The video lessons are properly divided into short sections, and each section has its own quiz, with a larger quiz per weekly topic. Each week, a live learner session is provided by an industry instructor who helps review the content and answer questions. Your peers can also provide valuable questions there too. The program also has a dedicated program manager (thank you Nikita!) and an academic team to support any doubts during the courses. 

I love that the pace of each course is well designed. I was afraid that I would have trouble picking up statistics and Python, but it turned out that they have very good material to bootstrap me to begin this journey. I would say as long as you are disciplined and actively follow the courses, finish the quizzes and monthly projects, you will be fine! And if you are like me, ask questions during the learner sessions! Read less
