Hey all,  
I saw the lab for this week’s assignment, and it feels pretty overwhelming and a lot. Any ideas of where I can get some foundation to help get started?  
So far, I’ve been progressing in the course and assignments well, but I need a mini-crash course when it comes to the neural network stuff.  
Any ideas?

Normally the labs and video lectures should be preparing you about the assignment, that’s the structure followed here. If you want more knowledge on Neural networks you can try/audit the Deep Learning Specialization as well.

The Machine Learning Specialization has a fairly gentle introduction to neural networks.

DLS is at a higher level.

Thank you, I’ll take a look at the course.
