12. Experiences from the AI-class
• 23,000 students passed the online course (253 got perfect scores)
• Professor Thrun has taught more students the subject than all of the
rest of the computer science professors in the world.
• The 23,000 who passed the course represent more students than most
faculty will teach in their career.
• Out of the 200 Stanford students attending the traditional course, only
41 were in class at the end of the course.
• The other 159 opted for the online asynchronous presentation.
• 410 online students outperformed the top Stanford student!
• Students themselves translated the class for free from English
into 44 languages.
• The on-campus passing rate was the highest ever.
