We have a Group Study discussion here on the Fast.AI forums for discussing this material and asking specific questions.

• NOTE: This course does not have a certification or credit. This is something I have been doing for the past few semesters to help branch fellow Undergraduates at my school into the world of fastai, and this year I am making it much more available.
