I didn't come off of this article feeling very impressed with Stanford's CS department. Someone with contextual knowledge please explain why I am wrong.

I've had my own calculus / discrete math / math for bio courses before but that was after several years as a doctoral student and TA at Georgia Tech. I can't imagine that there isn't a PhD candidate with more experience under their belt both teaching and using TensorFlow. The author even admits they volunteered to teach the course to stimulate learning the material themselves.

Thanks, this makes a lot more sense, my impression from the post was that this was a normal CS course.

It's probably not a standard course or Stanford is experimenting with practical student-led courses. Why not? I'd do the same...
