  Learn effectively on this course This short guide is here to support you as you go through the course, especially if you're studying on your own. You'll find some simple, research-informed strategies to help you stay motivated and get more out of your study time, without feeling overwhelmed.  Staying motivated Many students say they need motivation to learn, but motivation is unpredictable – it comes and goes. What really keeps you moving forward is building habits. Creating small, manageable learning routines helps you to stay on track even when you're not feeling particularly inspired. Start by keeping your study sessions short and focused, just enough to get into the flow without feeling overwhelmed. You can try using the pomodoro technique (25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute break) to stay on track. Celebrate small wins along the way – progress is more powerful than perfection. Even completing one item is a success and helps build momentum.  To make...

Supervised Learning in Machine Learning: Regression vs Classification Explained

Meta Description: Discover what supervised learning is, understand the difference between regression and classification algorithms, and see real-world examples like breast cancer detection, spam filtering, and price prediction. What Is Supervised Learning? Supervised learning is a core technique in machine learning (ML) where algorithms learn to map inputs (X) to outputs (Y) using labeled data. The system is trained on examples where the correct answer is already known. Once trained, it can make predictions on new, unseen data. Two major types of supervised learning algorithms are: Regression – Predicts continuous numerical values. Classification – Predicts categories or discrete labels. This post focuses on classification , a powerful method widely used in healthcare, security, finance, and beyond. Classification Algorithms: Predicting Categories, Not Numbers In regression, algorithms predict numbers from infinitely many possibilities (e.g., house prices). Class...
