"A teacher for everything and everyone, Coursera"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Coursera offers a huge variety of courses in various fields. It also doesn't restrict the user to any particular type of courses and provides a hollistic range of courses so that one can improve their soft as well as technical skills.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

The batch system is not helpful at times as I like to watch and learn new things on my own time and not on a weekly schedule or a weekly plan. If you miss out, you have to reset your deadlines and you start in another batch.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

Coursera is helping me to learn the skills required in my field first hand. We learn the things in the books but their application or implementation is taught well on Coursera.

"Coursera Review: Best Platform for Education Learning"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Since three years ago, I've used Coursera platform. It is the ideal location for learning from top instructors and faculty members from different institutions and business school. We are able to offer online degrees or any specified courses. I took several data science, artificial intelligence related courses, including those in technical courses, design and research and many more. Courses that are well-structured make understanding easier for us.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

It might be challenging to fully comprehend a course's assent at times, and some excellent courses are more expensive. rest things as such no such dislike of this platform.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

Whenever a project or academic assignment calls for learning a new technology, I utilise Coursera to get started. The advantage of taking courses is that you may evaluate the course materials for free if you can't afford to pay for them or want to be sure they're of high quality and well-structured before you buy them. The business is committed to promoting healthy learning among indivisuals and even provides financial help to pupils who seek it.This is future of online education in India specially.

"A great way to learn technical skills"
What do you like best about Coursera?

I have been using coursera to learn R and data analysis skills. This has proven so helpful in learning this through step by step instructions and has given me some certificates that make strong additions to a resume.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

I dislike the need to continuously enroll in courses, there is an auto unenroll feature that I keep encountering since it tends to take a few weeks to finish a course with the limited time around work.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

Coursera is filling a knowledge gap for me and allowing me to expand my abilities. It is also adding credibility to my own work and allowing me to prove the skills that I have developed with certificates.

I liked coursera as it provides many courses free of cost. Many people can make avail use of this and develop skills which are required for our job, and it has user-friendly UI.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

I didn't like Coursera giving certificates to those who have opted for paid course. Coursera should also give certificates to those who have chosen free course. Apart from this, there is no downside.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

Can acquire good knowledge and improve our skills. Coursera enables us to know new information which is not available in our textbooks. And it helps in developing projects from scratch.

"There is some good content at Coursera that I would recommend to anyone."
What do you like best about Coursera?

In general, I have found that Coursera provides a good overview. For example, I took a course on natural language processing. The assignments were trivial, and I could get by devoting minimal hours during the week-end to get them done. So if my sense is that if I want to get a quick overview of something, then the pricing and time commitment fit the objective.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

the experience, for the most part is 'skin deep'. I think in general that is the case, and may not be universal. I recall taking the machine learning course that was given by Andrew Ng, and the experience was very positive. To this date, I remember principles that were contained in those videos. But other experiences have not been great. Either the quality of the lectures is not up to par, or the engagement necessary for the assignments is not rigorous enough to make a lasting impression, (and truly feel like a sense of accomplishment).

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

General information. High level overview of specific topics.
