I'd suggest going back to the original youtube[1] and course materials[2]. Coursera version is nothing but a hand-wavy watered down "feel good" version of the original class. I also really like the Caltech's take "Learning from data"[3]

sorry but i disagree. the in video questions, the randomised problem sets, all the coursera stuff really helped me to learn the ideas.
