I did the pre-Coursera ML class and pre-Udacity AI class at the same time (both professors went on to for the respective companies after the experience), got two certificates with a reasonable grade, being a father and having a dayjob. I can attest to having fairly average intelligence by LW standards. (So yes, I think it’s quite doable)
Do you think it is possible to miss two homeworks and still get the certificate?
Their FAQ is inconsistent on this. Q 14 says that your final grade is determined only by your exam grade, but Q 2 says that homework counts too. It also says there is no deadline for homework (except, presumably, the end of the course). There were homework deadlines when I did it, but Udacity is evolving.
Thank you! This helped me a lot. Now I feel motivated to do the course in real time.

As I understand it, what counts for the final grade is allowed to vary by class.
