Unlike previous sessions the course is now being offered on a self-paced basis. All the material, activities and assessments are available now until 23rd October 2015 at:
We are not providing any tutorial, help or assistance during this session. Also, we will not generate any Statements of Completion until after 23rd October.
The course includes the following resources:
- the Weka software; Lesson 1.2 gives downloading instructions (we are using version 3.6.11)
- videos, one per lesson, on YouTube
- the videos include captions (English and Chinese), which can be turned on in YouTube
- slides used in the videos (PDF format)
- text files containing transcripts of the videos
- activities that follow each lesson
- access to selected excerpts from Data Mining (3rd Edition) - plus you can buy a discounted copy from the publisher
- announcement forum, blog, twitter feed (available from the course website)
for Chinese participants:
- videos on Youku
- one version with captions in Chinese (another with English captions is available on our Youku channel)
Some notes for participants:
- work through the videos and activities at your own pace, in your own time
- please subscribe to the announcement forum if you haven't already done so: this is the best way to stay up-to-date with the course (click on Membership and email settings to subscribe)
- only the mid-course and final assessments count towards the Statement of Completion
- feel free to install Weka in advance, but please ensure that you have version 3.6.11
- if you already know something about Weka, feel free to skip the first class (or two)
- during the videos, it may help to follow with Weka on your own computer ("click along with Ian")
- the course should take 2–3 hours/week (3–4 hours if you do the optional reading)
