Comments from the workshop

Here is some feedback for the workshop and I'd love to participate in improving the workshop!

Presenter:

• Excellent pacing and very clear explanation of complex concepts!
• Multiple breaks help pacing the workshop and participants used that time to ask questions.
• I like how presenter showed what the future workshops on deep learning will cover!

Content:

• This workshop covers a lot of important content and concepts! Participants expressed that the workshop was very useful (in the chat at the end of the workshop)
• The instructor used iPad to draw diagrams / explain and incorporating by imbedding photos into the jupyter notebook will be helpful.
• Introduction slide decks explaining broad concepts machine learning and what we will cover (and not cover) were very helpful.
• Some repetition of the process might be helpful (explicitly showing case by case what the model, the loss function, the goal etc). There are a lot of jargon and it might be helpful to have a cheat sheet / list of terms with brief definition might also be helpful.
• Bullet points for objectives for each lesson might be helpful to clarify what concepts are covered for each lesson!
• It would be nice to have a "take-home message slide" that summarizes what we have covered for the workshop.
• There are challenge questions with no coding component (For example, lesson 03, challenge 1), and it would be a good opportunity to use zoom poll function to see where participants are in terms of understanding concepts.
