Coursera

Coursera is up there right at the top of my list after Khan Academy. I would read it higher, but the age of the content in Coursera tend to be a little outdated when you start going into the specific courses being offered. I don’t know if there’s a moderation of Contant to Wedow outdated contacts, mainly in areas, such as technology, which have recent developments day after day and month after month. If you are looking for contact related to something such as music or art, which does not quickly change you are in a good place, however, if you are looking for up-to-date Content regarding up-to-date topics such as ecology, maybe Coursera is not for you .

I do the year subscription for Coursera. I try to take as many classes as I can. I enjoy the IT classes but also they offer classes for hobbies and other ares of interest. Some courses offer a certificate of completion and you can get college credits for some of them.

I got my Google Data Analytics certificate through Coursera and I genuinely do not believe I would've gotten the job I have now without it. The course was laid out so it was very easy to understand and complete. I would say the money I spent on the course has paid itself off 10x in just the past year. I recommend Coursera to anyone wanting to advance their career or just learn a new skill.

I found their advertising on Facebook and I still am satisfied with what I learned. I took 2 photography courses (approved by the MoMA) with them and my knowledge was so good that I was even able to teach at a school in my country. Very useful information. I would still take more courses from them.

Online learning is the way to go. And there are so many free courses available. We use this for courses at work and I have been able to get CEUs towards certifications

There is no easy way to talk to anyone at this company. I completed 3 courses and they continued to bill me with out sending a confirmation email or anything. I lost over 300 dollars before noticing. This company is garbage and shouldn't be used from just a customer service standpoint. Moreover many of the courses are built to last way longer than they should which is what likely maximizes their ROI. Plus its absurdly obvious how recycled and automated the content is. The only thing that involves a real person are the forums. I'm not doing this crap again and will continue to trash this company to my peers until I get a refund.

I've taken many paid courses with Coursera. Many have been outstanding. However, I recently took the Technion Specialization for Creativity and Innovation. One of the main requirements and method of learning for that specialization is interaction in the discussion groups. I had been locked out of the discussion forums due to a Coursera programming error, but was not made aware that I had been posting into thin air and that I did not see other posts until the last assignment before the Capstone Project. In that assignment, we were to read all the responses to two discussion group questions and write what we saw as the general themes in those two discussions. Each student was to link at least five responses made by others in each discussion. All I saw were my own posts. I waited until a half hour before the post deadline, and stated that nobody answered the questions except for me. After I posted, I received links to grade others! The others had provided links. There seemed to be hundreds of posts, none of which I could access from my account. I contacted Coursera, and they found that my account had been set up as isolated from the rest of the course. They called it "bizarre". They said that I shouldn't worry; I could still take the capstone even though I had not taken the courses as designed. Even though I originally could have taken the courses for free, I had paid so that I could learn the material all the way through the capstone, which I obviously did not do. In contrast, others who paid for the course did get what they had paid for. I told Coursera that I was not prepared for the capstone and they should cancel my certificates which were not earned as stated in the course ("and participate in discussion forum posting your opinion and commenting those of other participants" every week) and refund my money so I could start another specialization instead. I had wasted fifteen weeks of my time, and certainly did not get the value of a paid course over a free course. They dropped the conversation then and there, ignoring all of my emails. My third course remains incomplete (I guess nobody marked my final assignment), they did not provide services as agreed, and they seem to have no mechanism for dealing with situations where they do not meet their obligations. Besides this Technion specialization, I had taken other courses and another specialization, some concurrently with the Technion Specialization. I was very satisfied with those others, and had become a booster for Coursera. I had gotten friends and family to sign up with Coursera. I personally have spent about US$900.00 with Coursera, but their lack of honor means I plan to never take another paid course with them. Meanwhile, I have since sought other remedies to get my money back for the Technion courses. I recommend Coursera for free courses, but recommend you don't pay them anything. If you ever have a problem after payments and deadlines, you will be on your own.

Coursera is a valuable tool to assist in learning and excelling. Coursera is reliable and provides accurate detail to help every level.

Selection of courses is good, and pricing when on sale is excellent. Sometimes the course includes material that is either too in-the-weeds, or not deep enough.

Used a fee training guides here. It’s not overly hightech but has good content and will use it again.

First of all they don't answer any phone call. Don't put your credit cart in their website. They will charge you and if you contact through the only way you can talk to them through chat, they will send you their own term and condition!

Have taken a few courses on Coursera. It is a great way to learn new topics, without applying for a full degree.

Quality of courses is not very high, customer services is really bad, not platform is not ver intuitive.

The quizzes in course I am taking are continually being graded incorrectly, and I get no response from customer service
