I can read the damn equations by myself thank you very much.

To save everyone's time: go and take the class from Prof David MacKay which is available online.

You're welcome.

It seems this course is abandoned by the organizers.

We finished the first week, when usually there are a lot of interactions among participants and the discussion forum has only 4 messages that were dropped a lot of time ago, and none of them were answered or replied. The course staff did not leave any message, answer any question, and show any real interaction.

Frankly I do not understand how this course could get 5 star rating.

Very frustrating given this is an unusual and nice subject...

Very helpful in learning theorems about information theory

GOOD

teaching was nice

Excellent course!

One downside only: the peer-grading process and the huge percentage of plagiarism. Not more than a few percent (maybe less) of submissions are not plagia. Certificates have no value, but what you learn is quite valuable.

A little bit boring like conventional lectures, but I understand it's quite mathematical one rather than storytelling subjects.
