I completed the week 1 programming assignments (building RNNs, Dinosaur Island, and Jazz LSTM) earlier this year. I am in the Army and had to deploy on short notice and now that I am picking back up with week 2 it is showing all of these assignments as incomplete. Was there a system update? How can I get credit without needing to complete the assignments again?
Yes, the courses were completely updated in April of 2021. Sorry, but unless you manually saved (downloaded) copies of your completed notebooks, then I don’t think there is any way to recover them through the course website. You can try contacting the Coursera Help Center and see if they can temporarily switch you back to the old version of the course. The problem is that I’m not sure that version even exists anymore. The Help Center is accessed through the small blue square ? lower right on any of the course webpages.
The best way to protect yourself against this in the future is to use “File → Download (as notebook)” to save copies of any completed work on your local computer. That can be used to recover your work in the future if anything like this happens again.
