Coursera Reviews & Product Details

Best learning platform to grow more and more. The best part is we have to give exams to clear its certification criteria so with skills we get a valid certificate with proper examination

While watching tutorials offline, then also it asks for the internet even after we downloaded that tutorial. In some of the courses, they start with basic teaching and suddenly jump to advance level which is quite hard to catch, rather than this everything is good in Coursera.

While in my free time I go to Coursera and learn new technology and language at my pace helps a lot to gain skills with certification exams for proof.

Affordable pricing with option of financial aid so that not very financially sound students can enroll and learn the advance skills in today's technical world easily. It's certification worths to employers as its courses are provided by best of world's universities.

In some courses number of video lectures for building the concept knowledge are less as compare to documented/written practice sessions.

As a working professional I can learn and gain required skills at my own pace with flexible timings and no bar on time duration.

Coursera's courses are extremely good. They are well designed and being a full employee I really appreciate the fact of how well they are designed. They are very up-to-date in topics of interest and new courses. It has the widest catalog of courses and all of them with a certification given by Coursera in name of a professional institution like universities. They also have programs together with universities that allow you to get a Masters Degree and Specializations, which is awesome. There are also assignments to test your skills, this is a great way to evaluate yourself.

The problem with Coursera is the moderation in the forums. From the new courses I have taken, many of my classmates were criticized heavily or bullied by other classmates for asking questions in the forum. This hasn't gotten any attention from the forum moderators which makes the community feel uneasy with helping each other. Most of the courses and the related materials used to be freely available on Coursera. However, with the recent changes, some of the courses are categorized into specific tracks, and they are not free anymore. Finally, some courses are only available on specific dates and I have missed out on classes I was really interested in.

At this point I'm using Coursera personally to gain insight into different facets of my job, and different job types that I interact with. Because DevOps is a fairly broad field, I feel there is always a possibility to gain more insight into the roles of my colleagues either on the Dev side or on the Ops side. I feel this makes me a more relatable asset and a better go-between for some of the more head down assets in the company.

This app has feature that make it easy to use and offers a wide variety of learning topics.

There isn’t anything I significantly do not like.

Coursera helps me develop my business skills for free

the best thing about coursera is the that there are so much of choices available for different courses. There are paid as well as unpaid courses available. You can get access to world-class materials from renowned universities and professors.

No quickie techniques to remember the tough formulas or algorithms.always sign up for a long adventure. Sometimes, you just want to see the basics of a domain, not to prepare yourself to become an expert.

many of the courses are also available from really named and recognized institution. And the wide variety of courses are available and with incredible content and knowledge.It lets the student choose between auditing a course or paying for it and get access to the full content.

Coursera has variety of the courses for different area. Has very Talented and Knowledgeable Faculties. It's including video lectures, discussion forums and online quiz which gave a complete solution.You can also get certified.

Special courses are available for fix time frame, which is not feasible. Now a days they reduced the number of free courses as compared previously they had. Some courses dose not aligned with latest technology.

I would like to learn new things everyday, which will be used in my profession. I also used while I was studying to get good understanding of concept and also to get good grades.

Coursera is a nice online tutorials platform where people can learn from faculties of various distant universities. It has good video lectures with subtitles in various languages. Lecture notes are also available in most of the courses. Assignments and quizzes help you to brush up the concepts as well. Deadlines are given according to the schedule made which provides a good support. Discussion forums and mentors are there for the doubts that you have. All in all, it is a full package for learning online.

Courses must be updated after certain period of time.

As its said there's no age for learning and new technologies and tools are being developed at a fast pace. So here something like coursera comes to rescue where you can learn such new things very easily. I use coursera for learning many things which helps me to stay updated.

It has great courses from top institutions, like renowned universities. And has great exercices with great feedbacks

It is too expensive, you don't get teachers feedback usually and you can take some payed courses, but you can't make the activities, and that a bummer.

I am improving my curriculum and skills for my freelance work. The courses, even the ones you can't make the exercises, are really good and give a great learning for who is taking the classes.

The coursera is made for students who wants to study the last night before exams. You enroll to whichever course you want at whichever time you are comfortable with. A total independence for usual classroom 8-5 studying. I had taken machine learning couses from coursera, For each ML topic, there was sufficient amount of notes, videos and pictures to study from. The best part about studying through videos is that, we could skip the part of videos we know and could run it in 1.5X, 2X, etc.., speed.

The part I dislike about coursera was that for some courses you are asked to pay. well I was interested in building ios application, but this costed me $55 dollars, that is expensive.

Coursera offers ATS(Any time studying) oppurtunties for everyone. Any layman can come to site and access any course and study when ever possible.

Lots of learning opportunities in varied subjects

I don't dislike any of it - I think it's done a good job

Continuing personal development

Coursera provides free access to top professors from many well-known universities. I've found several courses with engaging professors who are excited about their topic and use the online/video format to their advantage by using animations and links to content that work better than in a classroom setting.

I've found some of the courses to be almost comically easy. There are "quizzes" after lectures, but often they don't reinforce knowledge and instead only ask for dictionary-level definitions of the most basic concepts from the video. It almost seemed like Coursera wanted to push more people through to passing their courses instead of creating challenging quizzes that people may actually do poorly on. There is also a challenge in identifying which classes will be good and which ones will be a waste of time. Coursera sends frequent emails of "We think you'd be interested in this," but their options often seem scattered instead of targeted. And even though many courses have been taught before, there is no clear ranking or review system for identifying what courses previous users liked and disliked. It seems Coursera is going for "more classes is better" rather than "higher quality classes is better" which I dislike as a paradigm.

Each class has given me some insight into a different topic. The Human-Computer Interaction class helped me evaluate the usefulness of a graphical interface. This has helped me in my career as I develop LabVIEW programs. It also makes me a more educated user because I can specifically point out what I like and dislike when using an app or program, and I often pass back that feedback to developers. The Project Management classes showed good techniques for managing your time and responsibilities, and gave resources for creating your own project management tools. While these could probably be found online, the teaching video format is more engaging and I have been able to stick to the techniques months after the online class.

The wide variety of courses on Coursera ensures that you are quite likely to find what you need. Most of the courses are of really high quality. Overall, the courses are a great way to build breadth in your area or in adjacent areas. I think it's hard to use these courses to replace a degree, but they are great for the cases where you would like to know more than you do now. I did a course on linear optimization which was quite outside my expertise area, and I also recently did a course on data structures and algorithms for electronic design automation. Both of these were excellent.

I would not try to use this to replace a degree course, but it is very useful for the parts where it works well.

This is a good way for employee development, but the benefits are hard to pin down. You are just making your employees more interesting and more useful.

The courses are taught by industry veterans and institutional leaders, often times professors at well-respected universities. It isn't just some random person who knows something, telling you what they know, these are people that instruct classes at Stanford, Rice, Duke, University of California, and other accredited educational institutions. I also like that some courses offer verifiable certificates of completion and make it pretty easy to add them to your LinkedIn profile.

The user interface is a little difficult to use. It has the feel of an old-school bulletin board system to me. The production quality of some of the instructor videos is poor as well. I've had cases where I can barely hear the instructor or simply can't understand them.

I use Coursera to expand my knowledge in various areas of Computer Science. I've already got an associates degree and a bachelors degree in a Computer Science related field, but it is nice being able to keep supplementing knowledge gained during those degree programs with free knowledge taught by instructors from respected universities.

There is a wide variety of subject matter and courses to choose from, in particular courses on the same topic from multiple universities, which may not duplicate material and so complement each other nicely. Many (but not all) courses are tailored to an online setting and well suited to a wide audience without sacrificing challenging material. Other courses are essentially identical to (or held concurrently with) actual university courses, which is useful when you already have background in the subject - there are even some phd-level courses.

Some courses are poorly presented - the instructor fails to engage effectively (some of them just read off notes), or it feels like the instructor is failing to explain the theory or background underpinning what is being taught. This isn't really a failing on Coursera's part, since it happens all the time in an actual university setting.

I used Coursera to train myself in finance and computer science, which helped me find a job at a financial software company.

Accessibility from anywhere at any time

Lacking advanced courses as it is usually undergraduate level

I use Coursera both for my current work and for personal interests in fields I am not directly working in, though still related to my background (engineering). Coursera keeps me updated with mew methods and techniques, essentially in data processing. It also gives a good portrait of what the new trends are and broadens my engineering knowledge (e.g. in electronics, programming, embedded systems...).

The instructors there at the Coursera are really great and the way of their teaching is also very easy to understand. Plus, the Coursera has a large bucket of courses available with them.

The Courses provided by Coursera are really very expensive. Plus, the recruiter always feel that the candidate has done the Certificate course just for the sake of certificate not for actual learning.

These days degrees are not enough to get the jobs in the market. Practical exposure and skill building is something on which every employer focus on. Coursera is helping in that and that too in great manner.

Coursera is the best platform for the online certifications. It's certifications are widely recognised and every course on the platform is free to audit, Which means they can be freely accessible without providing certificates. Coursera has assignments in every module of the course and provides certificate upon completion of the final project.

Courses offered by Coursera becomes paid certifications which will be quiet expensive for students. Many of the assignments in the courses are multiple choice questions which will be easier to pass without much concentration on course.

Coursera enables the students who lives in remote areas by giving access to its online certifications. By completing the HTML course during the lockdown on Coursera I have learned about the website building.

1. It is a good learning platform, with lots of good courses to choose from taught by top universities/organizations. 2. Video quality and animations are good, most of the teachers teach well, a lot of practical/hands-on sessions and extra learning materials to know more !! 3. Exercises are of good quality with mixed quizzes and practical exercises. 4. There are guided projects to learn a particular topic hands-on and gain practical experience. Highly recommend the platform.

1. Its paid version is costly. 2. Some lectures are too complicated, and not that interesting although the majority of lectures are good. 3. Peer community of some courses is not that active.

1. I am learning new technologies from Coursera to improve my knowledge and skills. It is helping me to perform better in my job. The concepts are so well cleared in the majority cases that it helps me think innovatively.

Class allows you to connect with many people that are interested in the same areas as you. Being allowed to go at your own pace helps a lot as well. Lots of classes to choose from.

Considering there is no cost, there isn't much to complain about. I'd like to see how a lot of these classes would tie back to real world situations, but you can say that about almost any class, online or not.

This was for personal use. I learned a lot about basic entrepreneurship and got to dive into several topics of interest to me.
