With an IQ of just 125 and a BS in CS, I've struggled with this CS224d class. I've gotten half-way twice realizing that I don't know enough to learn more. I told myself, "Just keep going through the course and you'll eventually get it." This still isn't the case. I'll have to finish the videos and see what happens next. I get the general idea, but I definitely couldn't implement an artificial neural network after having just watched the videos. Perhaps reading the suggested readings would make a big difference.

Seriously, though. When I look at assignment 1, I don't even know what I'm supposed to do.
