Re: Anyone else looking at the Stanford courses for January?

I am taking the machine learning class right now and it is fantastic.  ML is a 10 week class, I would say the time commitment is about 4 hours a week.  But I have really learned a lot and the programming problems have been really well done.  I have signed up for cryptography and nlp for next session.

I would really like to take that PGM course.  Haven't taken any of
these, do they go for a full semester or is it a shortened format?
Just wondering what weekly time commitment would be like.
