00:00:10,990 --> 00:00:14,740
So in this short lecture, I want to tell you about my suggestion box.

2
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,410
The idea behind this is analogous to the kind of suggestion box you would find at a restaurant.

3
00:00:20,860 --> 00:00:25,690
You can write down your thoughts and leave them for the owner to look at to give them feedback so that

4
00:00:25,690 --> 00:00:31,780
they can improve your dining experience in order to share your thoughts with me and my suggestion box.

5
00:00:32,140 --> 00:00:35,860
Please go to lazy programmers on slash suggestions.

6
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,970
Here you will find a simple form where you can tell me anything you like.

7
00:00:40,450 --> 00:00:43,480
I have a few suggested fields, but none of them are required.

8
00:00:43,930 --> 00:00:45,970
However, they would be helpful for me to know.

9
00:00:46,780 --> 00:00:48,580
For example, tell me your background.

10
00:00:49,060 --> 00:00:54,070
I think someone coming from a background in marketing is going to have very different feedback compared

11
00:00:54,070 --> 00:00:56,650
to someone coming from a Ph.D. in physics.

12
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,910
Tell me what course you are taking, so I have some idea of what you are talking about.

13
00:01:01,390 --> 00:01:04,360
Obviously, the more specific you are, the better I can help you.

14
00:01:05,290 --> 00:01:07,720
Tell me how difficult you thought the course was.

15
00:01:08,110 --> 00:01:09,070
Was it too easy?

16
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:10,030
Was it too hard?

17
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:13,240
Tell me if there was something I neglected to explain.

18
00:01:13,870 --> 00:01:17,200
For example, was there some word that I use that you have never heard of?

19
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:19,930
Was there Python code that you haven't seen before?

20
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,440
Tell me what you thought was missing from the course, even if it was just something small, like you

21
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,150
missed explaining this line of code?

22
00:01:28,930 --> 00:01:31,360
Were you looking for an algorithm that wasn't included?

23
00:01:32,110 --> 00:01:37,570
This is helpful for me, but it's also helpful for you because many times students are looking for an

24
00:01:37,570 --> 00:01:40,460
algorithm or an explanation in the wrong course.

25
00:01:40,990 --> 00:01:45,910
So I can say, actually, I teach that algorithm or I explain that thing in such and such course, and

26
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:47,150
this isn't the right course.

27
00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:48,520
So have a look over there.

28
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:53,890
Are there any topics you want to request that were not included in this course?

29
00:01:54,430 --> 00:01:59,080
For example, maybe you signed up for a deep learning course and you were looking for CNN's, but the

30
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,700
course didn't have CNN's in it.

31
00:02:01,030 --> 00:02:01,720
Let me know.

32
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,860
Finally, let me know your suggestions for future courses.

33
00:02:06,340 --> 00:02:10,780
If there's a particular topic you want me to teach that I don't yet have, of course, about, such

34
00:02:10,780 --> 00:02:14,140
as grading and boosting or transformers or even quantum mechanics.

35
00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:15,130
Let me know.

36
00:02:16,270 --> 00:02:19,870
Finally, there is a big text box for any comment you want to write.

37
00:02:20,350 --> 00:02:23,470
You can write anything in this box and make it as long as you want.

38
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,720
In fact, the longer the better.

39
00:02:26,260 --> 00:02:28,640
If you think I talked to slower, I talked too fast.

40
00:02:28,660 --> 00:02:31,990
Let me know if you think my prerequisite instructions aren't fair.

41
00:02:32,020 --> 00:02:32,680
Let me know.

42
00:02:33,460 --> 00:02:37,060
I want you to be as specific and as detailed as possible.

43
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:41,950
A lot of the time people give me comments that I can't really act on, which is unfortunate.

44
00:02:42,670 --> 00:02:46,150
And this is often because they are too generic and not specific enough.

45
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,720
Tell me exactly what lecture and exactly what time stamp you're referring to.

46
00:02:51,310 --> 00:02:54,430
If you want to refer to a question on the Q&A, include a link.

47
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:01,510
Be very specific and give me concrete examples so that I know exactly how to act on the information

48
00:03:01,510 --> 00:03:02,140
you've given me.

49
00:03:02,980 --> 00:03:04,960
Thanks for listening, and I'll see you in the next lecture.
