Have you taken any course in Coursera? How was your experience with it?
I’m interested in doing tech courses
i completed Everyday Excel Part 1 and everything went well. now i'm having issues with Everyday Excel Part 2 because the 2nd Assignment it's very far from the content of videos of the week, is definetely beyond the scope of the videos and i'm stuck there from a while now. i'm considering to give up 😐
@@fabfitforever4934 There's plenty there for you to choose!
@@teclasicbaldi Don't give up! It may be challenge that will pay off later. These are skills you can add to your resume :)
Not yet, there are many things I need to understand about this platform? How can we communicate
Idk about the certificates but I use their top university lessons to learn korean for free. I did one lesson today and I'm impressed.
Do they take the lessons on meet? or are they video explanations?
@@berryberrystrawberry2428 Video explanations but what I have used is very interractive and at the end of each video you can download worksheet with all the words just learned in the video. I have used yonsei university course to learn korean. The courses vary with different topics though.
what great initiative! We would think Korean is tough language. How has that been going?
@@gradehacker I'm conversational by now. I use mix of free resourses including the coursera courses.
Was looking for data analyst related boot camps come to find that my local uni charges over 13000, yet Coursera is about 59$
Did you pull the trigger on it? How did it go?
😮
Any update?
how did it go?? update please.
how it go >?
Good, short and informative review. Nice vid. 👍
Thank you so much. We are happy to see that you found it useful. Subscribe to our channel to learn more valuable tips and information like this one
Thank you for this in depth review! I think you were really fair.
My university gives out free Coursera to all of the students who want it, so I don't have to pay for certificates, but I think I would probably continue using the platform even after I graduated and didn't 't have free access anymore.
I think it is a great way to deepen your knowledge in your own field, or try other, unfamiliar fields as well. All of the courses are high quality and a lot of them are even enjoyable to take and they never feel like a chore.
My only problem is that peer reviews are nothing more than a joke. It is not even that you are not reviewed by experts, but your course mates usually put zero effort into reviewing your work. I never got any constructive criticism, they usually just say "Good.", probably without reading what I wrote, or say "Could have been better".
Also, I wish they had more subjects in Humanities. There are only a couple of literature/culture courses.
You make a great point on the situations that can come up with peer reviewed work.
What courses would you be interested in that are not offered in the humanities?
Is peer graded assignment compulsory for getting a certificate?
If we buy one course is it life time accessible or it will be over within the given period of time
Hello, I signed up for the Teamwork and Creativity course, it has 5 modules. I have just answered the tasks of the first module and taken the final exam, which is subject to a fee. I wanted to ask if we have to pass all five modules in this mentioned course to get a certificate or can we get a certificate after passing the each module?
We are not a part of Coursera. We recommend you reach out to them for an exact answer. Our educated guess is that you would need to pay the course fee in order to receive the official certificate. Keep us posted on what Coursera says
You will get a certificate for each individual course and then one more when you complete all of them, aka complete the specialisation. This means that if you are only interested in completing certain courses, not all of them, you can, but to earn the final certificate you have to complete all of the courses.
Question: why do I get a certificate for each course I finish? Like they’ll be 4 parts and I get a certificate for all of them? Should it be just one final certificate at the end?
what course are you taking?
So if you pay the 50 dollars per month you can do any of the courses that cost 50 dollars? its just kind of like a subscription to Netflix that gives you access to all of its shows apart from the advanced courses in this case that cost over $2000 USD??
did you find the answer ? I have the same question
Yes
@@abdelhaklannister2186Yes, as long as you pay 50 a month (or however long it takes for you to finish) then you can do any course
How can i sign up
How can I call coursera.
so if i take a free course & succeed i have the option to pay for the certificate when i’m done?
For the free ones yes, but if you have a subscription you don't need to
No you don’t. I just took a course, went to buy the certificate and there is no way to do it. The online articles have you clicking on things that DON’T EXIST. I have NEVER had such a hard time trying to give someone my money. The “live” customer service numbers go to the CA Department of Consumer Affairs and a SEX LINE respectively. Unless you don’t need any kind of verification it’s not worth it.
What is difference between course, specialization and prifessional certificate. I am a pm and want to learn ux, but so many options came. No idea which one to pick frin the beginner filter :(
Have looked into the PMP or the PMI certification? We recommend you reach out to our team at our website so you can learn how we can help you with them
Somehow it doesn’t let me have a free course, though it says the course is free. What may be a problem?
Hi! Not all courses have the free audit track that let's you access their lessons for free. Let us know if that was the case!
Does it offer Accounting courses?
@@elizabethmwaniah3765 yes
I took several courses, great contents. My challenge here comes in and I need help with payment. I woud wish to do payment direct from bank is it an available option? Payment criteria CANNOT work for me where I am .
www.coursera.support/s/learner-help-center?language=en_US Here is the Coursera Learner Help Center, I hope this helps
Is it possible to do the course if I don't have a computer? Can I do everything through phone?
Should be possible as there is an app
You can use the Coursera app and access the courses there. Here is an article to guide you:

If I've time is it possible to compete any course in a month? Please reply
We have seen countless students complete courses in less time. They are based on your own time and availability. Which course are you considering?
Is it available to all countries?
Great question. From our perspective, it seems that most of not all courses are available internationally.
Where do you live?
I see it's monthly.. once you get a certificate do you keep it after you stop paying their monthly fee.
That is a great question. In our best guess, we would believe that you are able to keep the certificate after downgrading from their paid plans. Yet, we are not directly associated with Coursera in anyway, nor do we have any affiliation currently. We are only providing a review based on our experiences.
We highly recommend you reach out to their support team to get the right answer. Keep us posted as it is a great question and are sure others would like to know too.
I have only done two courses and it seems to have some boring structure and a lot of fluff. like they will have a 2 minute overview and then a 1 min conclusion on a topic I just saw.
Is this still your experience as you continue in the courses?
Hey would you mind sharing which ones you did? I am thinking if Data Analysis is worth it
What happens if we don't finish the subscription course in time?
Great question. We do not work for or are directly affiliated with Coursera. We did find this information that could potentially guide you.
www.coursera.support/s/question/0D58W00007OyK9LSAV/how-to-extend-the-allotted-time-to-finish-the-course?language=en_US
Please let us know if that answered your question.
Am interested in skincare treatment ❤
Interesting choice. Were you able to find a course covering your need?
I would like to take some easy courses like virtual assistant, how do I go about
We recommend you go for professional communication courses and foundational sales/marketing courses. Followed up with data entry excel or google sheet courses. We'd love to know if you have taken courses along those lines and where you are at in your journey
You can also check out our video on Free Coursera courses to get you started. You can find it here:

@gradehacker how do I go to my descriptions & or apply for financial aid if needed ? Also how do I know how much the cost of the certificate will be once I finish the certificate program that I’m taking ?
Same concerns. If you found out about these please let me know too
Are Coursera Certificates certifiable to get a job?
It is not a certainty. But it is a valid certificate, and we recommend you to let your prospective employers know of your achievement
can you review Brilliant?
We will let our content team know of your request. Any specific reason you would like a Brilliant review?
What about people that are not in university?
I mean, I finished high school like 20 years ago and that was it.
Would someone like me be able to learn the free courses?
It's not like I am that bright... unfortunantly.
Hi there! First of all, don't be so discouraging with yourself, stay positive and put your mind to it!
And to answer your question, we are 100% sure that you can make good use of Coursera's free lessons. By choosing the audit track you won't access the assignments or get a certificate, but you can still watch the video lessons (as many times as you need) and learn from them!
And even if you later find out they are not for you, since they are free you won't lose anything in the process. We hope you get to try the courses and find them useful! If so, please let us know!
@@gradehacker❤❤❤❤
The instructor says that she has a link for us to follow, but I can't find them can anyone help?
What course is this for?
@@gradehacker I found it thanks👍
Dose Coursera provide video lectures too??
Yes it does. They are pre-recorded lectures you can watch at your own pace
Can anyone tell me what will be best courses for hospital and management
What is your end goal or objective with the course?
@@gradehacker better CV n better placement chances along with knowledge
Any reviews my assignment plZ
Please share. What do you mean? Thanks
Brother I recently opened in coursera account but I can't get free courses how to I get free courses method please????
It should be available after starting your account. You still cannot find them?
i dont get it , so if im willing to take a computer science degree from scratch and lets say it takes me 3 years , how much will i pay ?
It depends on the course, prices are displayed on the site.
Are the courses guided?
It really depends on the course, but I encourage you to try the one that you want to do!
Do we have to give qyizzes under webcam submission . What are readings in courses
Great question. We have never had that situation come up but we are not a part of Coursera. We recommend you reach out to their support team and ask them. Keep us posted to what they say because it's a great question.
I've taken dozens of quizzes, non of them required a webcam.
@@jegaevi7371 thanks for sharing is it for the professional course which had peer based assignment too.
Coursera is not an accredited platform per se? WTF? "Coursera Certificates Are Not Accredited. While a Coursera certificate can look good on your resume, it's important to keep in mind that these certificates are not accredited. That means they likely won't be accepted as credit towards a degree or other formal education program."
Most of them are not accredited, but there are quite a few that are. I am doing a TESOL, and when I complete all the courses I will receive an official, accredited certificate from Arizona State University.
Is the tesol programme free on coursera?@@jegaevi7371
Is there any scientific evidence of casteism or regionalism against Coursera, EdX, Future Learn, Udemy, Unanth ? Say yes or no
No
What about pluralsight
No
What about interaction design foundation or togaf
No.
What about brainbench ?
No.
What about guru nanak English high school, kalyan and boiler plant secondary high school trichy
There is no specific scientific evidence to suggest casteism or regionalism against these schools.

All hail to the power of ChatGPT!
He forgot the part where they ask for your credit card 💳
We mention their pricing at 6:00 mark. Take a look as they have several different options. They also have a free trial.
@@gradehacker They also offer financial aid for those who can't afford to pay for the courses.
Wow that’s great to hear and a great initiative from them
Seems like you were paid to puff them up.
We do our best and strive to provide honest, unbiased, and thorough reviews of our experiences. This applies to this review and all other reviews we do on our channel
Lol so it's not accredited.. why waste your time then
Valid point. Yet, we still view it as a way to expand knowledge and expertise. And that is never time wasted in our eyes.
Accredited now.
What’s to stop your class mate failing you because they want to?
Your classmates cannot pass or fail you. It is just a peer review for you to take as constructive feedback
If someone gives you a bad review because they are trolling, you can just resubmit your assignment. It is annoying, but it won't have any negative effects on your grade. It does happen sometimes, but it is pretty rare. It is more common to receive max points.
Coursera is one of the biggest piles of trash I've ever seen. Major ripoff. Take a bootcamp course instead.
why do you say that? Have you used them before? Please elaborate on your experience. Also do you recommend any bootcamp courses?
