That’s a great point about the “h” option being required on the “tar” commands. A number of the assignments here contain symlinks.
Sorry @balaji.ambresh but that is a generic Coursera Support page. I do not have the ability to modify that. You can report the bug as well as I can to Coursera Help, but note that there are other things about that page that are too generic to work with the Deeplearning.AI courses, e.g. in some cases when you open a “Terminal” in the Deeplearning courses, the current working directory has nothing to do with where the actual workspace subtree is. I think it’s a hopeless task to try to make their generic help work for all the specifics of the Deeplearning assignments. Rather than deal with the generic Coursera pages, I think it makes more sense to have our own Discourse threads that we refer people to. E.g. this one, this one and this one.
