Delta Academy Reviews 22

I am from a recently taken-over school so I can say there are features of Delta that I can agree with and understand, like the drills and demonstrates, which, being a student, I do believe that they help, however there are too many things I disagree with. For example, we were doing Animal Farm in English, but our slide, from Delta, was wrong. There have been many occasions like this that I can recall, particularly often in Science. I have also seen AI used far too much in PowerPoints and their art, which robs young artists of the opportunity to grow and expand. Another occasion in English, where the slide was wrong, was where it stated that "devote" was an adjective! Aswell as this, some of the new rules that I see around school, are frankly ridiculous. For example, it is a rule that you are not allowed to wear your coat inside, so that when I actually get into school, there is not much point in carrying my coat around all day, because a decision I have to make when traversing between classrooms, is between getting a detention, or getting soaked or cold, and it's not as if I see the teachers taking there coats off every 5 minutes.

No more good food at my school! My school moving to delta means that there are minimal food options and random unneeded rules. Also were apparently allegations.

Interactive games to learn Reinforcement Learning!

I loved this course, it allows you to have a good practical understanding of Reinforcement Learning. However, consider that it has a pretty big gap between theory and coding, even when the course tries to be practical. Specifically, you will go straight to coding from theory (which is excellent and practical!), but even if you have a coding background or some sort of Machine Learning background you will have a pretty hard time trying to figure out how to build RL models. It's hard to come up with the code from the theory straight away.

Best method to begin with RL. Weekly competitions keep things interesting and exciting. Everyone at Delta is nice and responsive, which makes learning more enjoyable.

Learned a ton.
The instructors are helpful and take time for you personally. The competitions are fun. But you need to spend way more time, than advertized if you have no prior experience in that area.

Loved the experience, and learned a whole lot in a short period of time. Appreciated the flexibility of the program, how much you get out of it is proportional to how much time you put in. The competition based learning was very well done, the students were of a high quality and the teachers made themselves available and helped out as much as they could.

Highly recommend the program.

I can safely say these were some of the best online courses I have ever taken. Both theory and practical implementation were executed in a beginner-friendly way yet challenging enough to promote genuine deeper learning.

The competitions involving our trained AI agents battling each other were tons of fun and a strong motivation to succeed.

Lastly, the instructors were very helpful and knowledgeable and I would join any other course they create in a heartbeat!

Delta Academy makes learning RL fun and easy with simple coding examples and exercises which quickly get you up to speed. The lectures and exercises are concise and focused, allowing you to spend time learning new information about RL, rather than suffering through basic code bugs or setting up an environment. The organizers are responsive and quickly answer questions.

It was a well made course and the instructors were always there to support us.

I had a great time with the intermediate course offered by Delta Academy.
They created a great atmosphere for lively and helpful discussions and were always there to help and answer questions.
Weekly released tutorials and friendly competitions allowed for a smooth sailing through the challenging learning concepts.
The instructors were always available for questions, which allowed us to clarify and deepen our understanding.
I personally learned a lot and had a great experience. The materials learned here offer a solid foundation for further work and research in the field of RL, which is quite rare for online courses.

The Introductory Reinforcement Learning course Delta Academy is offering is full of great material.

1) The exercises are carefully curated and at the right level of complexity. (Not too "fill in the blank" and not too "here's an empty script")

2) The Weekly Competitions help you consolidate your knowledge, and they are very fun to do in a team. Most importantly, you learn by doing.

3) The instructors are all very knowledgeable and willing to help you grok the concepts they are teaching. They also don't shy away from jumping on a quick call with you to help you debug your code.

Overall highly recommended.

Great Experience!

The kind and knowledgeable people at Delta academy are providing a great course. I took their Beginner Reinforcement Learning course and learned a ton! I feel that I'm now well on my way to becoming an expert in RL.

Their course was well designed, offered a lot of value, was accessible to people with little ML experience, and was also useful to someone like myself with lots of ML background. I thought about taking their intermediate course, but I'm very glad I started with their beginner course.

The people running it are very good at explaining hard concepts, and very professional.

I look forward to taking the next course soon.

I came away from this course with more know-how than I would have had after a year of self study. The methods you build up to are the defaults used in modern ML papers (e.g. the PPO algorithm). Every assignment is fun to work on, and the competitions are next level.

Also, having access to ML experts (the instructors) was really useful as I'm spinning up myself. From talking to them and working on the projects I picked up many ML tricks that I likely wouldn't have gleaned from self study.

I've told several friends about Delta and think it's a great way to get get started in even plain ML, not to mention RL. It's really fun and takes 4 weeks, just do it!

I had a really good time studying the basics of RL with Delta Academy. The only thing I would like to mention, is that the theoretical explanations in the last few tutorials do need some additional explanations. Thank you!

Delta Academy provides a great balance between not being too basic nor too technical for those new to RL, and eases into some sophisticated techniques. The competition aspect was really unique and provided great motivation to learn the week’s material. I had a lot of fun trying to win and meeting other students. Highly recommend!

Fantastic class, cutting edge and beautifully presented content with stimulating interactive exercises. Learned more from this than most of my classes at Stanford.

Delta teaches reinforcement learning better than anything else I've tried before. The learning experience was super addictive and actually interesting compared to other courses which struggled to hold my attention.
