I am about to finish my master's degree in computer science from a fairly reputable college. I have taken all of the AI related classes, 7 in total and I still don't feel like I have the experience to really work in a professional setting in the field. Mainly because the courses didn't do a great job of building on top of each other, leaving me with very specific understanding of the subjects I learned in each class but not much understanding of how it all fits together.
I would like to work more with a course that goes through each of the individual pieces but works on building each topic on top of each other. Having a good amount of projects in it would be huge as well as hands on learning is very valuable imo. I wanted to see if anyone here has taken something like what I am describing and found it to really give a well rounded understanding of how all of these concepts fit together.
Last thing, I know that some of these courses have 'certificates' and some are even labeled as degrees (however that works). I figured that some of the courses, like the one by Andrew Ng at Stanford, would have certificates that would hold weight on a resume. Is there any truth to that? And if so, which ones?
