It began with introductory courses a month before the main program commenced. Once it kicked off, everything accelerated rapidly, 3 live lectures from MIT professors and 2 mentored sessions each week. Although there was a large amount of content to absorb and as a working professional, it demanded extra hours of effort, the experience was ultimately rewarding. The program covers wide range of topics, beginning with the basics of data analysis, advancing through machine learning, deep learning, and finally exploring recommendation systems. Each topic starts with foundational concepts and progresses to more advanced material. At first, I struggled to determine where to focus my efforts because there was so much content in less amount of time. But everything became clear once the elective and capstone projects began. I choose your area of interest and concentrated on developing my skills around that. I liked the topics on machine and deep learning. I live in Sydney, so the live lectures were impossible to attend for me, but the recordings and the annotated presentation slides were really useful. The mentored sessions were good too, it pays off to be active in those sessions. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I received excellent support from the program managers throughout the course. Thanks!
