Evaluating AI Agents
DeepLearning.AI and Arize AI teach systematic agent evaluation. Learners build an agent, collect traces, evaluate routing and skills, and assess trajectories with a convergence score. Code-based evaluators, LLM judges and human annotations support component and end-to-end assessment. Structured experiments compare changes to prompts, models and logic, with production monitoring discussed. Basic Python is expected; prompting familiarity is optional. The outline includes five named labs, resources and a graded quiz.

- Credential scope
- As checked on 16 October 2026, Pro subscribers completing this short course receive an Accomplishment visible in their account. It is explicitly not an official certificate. Free users do not receive certificates or accomplishments. Passing thresholds, separate final-exam requirements, expiry, renewal and academic credit are not established. The course header marks its 1 graded assignment as Pro access. Direct Pro membership upgrades take effect immediately. After a downgrade, access to content and eligibility to earn certificates continue until the next billing cycle, and progress on started courses is saved for 180 days. This does not turn short-course Accomplishments into official certificates. The seven-day trial can be cancelled to avoid charges. After the trial, new payments, renewals and upgrades are non-refundable; early cancellation or downgrade receives no partial refund, with access until the next renewal. Incorrect charges or charges after a trial cancellation may qualify for a full refund after support review. Eligible refunds typically take 5–10 business days, depending on the bank. These are direct-platform terms, not Coursera terms. · info.deeplearning.ai / draft-understanding-certificates-and-accomplishments-in-deeplearning.ai-courses
