The course has 16 people enrolled spread across the world. During the week you read tutorials and complete exercises. Over the weekend you and your partner let your trained agents compete at a game in a tournament style competition. This week it's Othello.
The course material is top notch and you have office hours each week to discuss with the folks running the course.
Other courses either don't have this peer to peer interaction or run for too long.
Even though its been a lot of work to go through this course, I can't recommend it more!
