"Coursera review"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Coursera provides a number of courses from various academic domains and it equally provides the relative content to learn them. Certificates provided from various foreign universities hold a good value.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

The review process for the assignments is a bit slow, we have to wait to get them reviewed, secondly, there are no grades mentioned in the certificates which won't define the level achieved.

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

There are many courses available with free content so you can access the content and learn new technologies even with certifications which is the nice thing about coursera.

"Coursera Review"
What do you like best about Coursera?

I have learned Initiating and Planning Projects, Fundamentals of Management, Six Sigma Advanced Define and Measure Phases and Digital Manufacturing & Design subjects from coursera till now. I have improved my knowledge from this platform continuously.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

As such nothing to dislike in this platform besides we can increase the number of hours of sessions or practical sessions that can be introduced during the courses. These things help we can also learn practical exposure too.

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

1. You can decide your learning pace at your convenience. 2. You can build upon technical/communication/practical skills you already have—or learn something entirely new as we know today's time is total artificial intelligence and the internet of things.

"Coursera Review"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Coursera platform helps many countries like India support virtual education in covid time. Many colleges have started recommending the courses of Coursera to their students to enhance their skills. The management and the content quality of the courses of Coursera are just awesome. Coursera is an upcoming unicorn in the field of educational content providers.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

The content quality of the courses is very good but sometimes some courses ask for some kind of pre-requisites, so it's not user-friendly always. In some courses on Coursera, you are not able to ask questions from the instructor of the course i.e. the instructor doesn't reply to your queries.

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

It offers both free and paid courses and the feature of financial aid for the learners who want to learn but doesn't have the money to pay is appreciable. Many students got jobs by learning the courses from Coursera. every type of student can learn from Coursera whether he/she is a beginner, at an intermediate level or a pro, there are different levels available for the content.

"Awesome platform for learning!!"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Using Coursera for the past 2 years. its the best place to learn from top educators from various universities and companies. We can do online degrees or any particular course-specific. I tried various data science-related courses such as SQL, Python, NumPy, panda etc. Well-structured courses help us to understand easily.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

It was a bit expensive. Their courses are a bit more expensive than other platforms such as Udemy. Also while completing a particular course it doesn't show any marks or grades, it only shows whether you completed a course or not. Also, some content is outdated too.

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

Completed introduction to data science offered by IBM, Data science Math offered by Duke university and many other courses!!. Main benefits are 1. Offers top-class lectures from various universities and companies such as Google, Microsoft etc. 2. Great support during the entire completion of the course. 3. A lot of capstone projects, help you to learn by doing. 4. A Massive number of courses in a single platform!!

"There is no better place to learn new things than Coursera"
What do you like best about Coursera?

It helped me learn a lot of new things, especially in data science. I have completed all of the 9 IBM professional data science certificate courses and it changed my life.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

To be honest, not all companies do their courses at Coursera. For example, most Microsoft courses are on Edx and I don't know if it's a policy by Microsoft to post their courses on Edx and not Coursera or Coursera doesn't except Microsoft as a Partner. I hope to start taking their courses on Coursera very soon.

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

I'm from a country where education standards are very low and limited. With Coursera, I was able to break barriers and achieve top-quality education very easily and for a very good price.

"Learn from the best universities and organisations around the world"
What do you like best about Coursera?

During the lockdown, Coursera was one of my choices where I learned to achieve my academic goals for my Computer Science degree. I did a lot of courses from Coursera, some of them were project-based courses. One can also earn a degree in various fields.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

Coursera needs to modernize its discussion forums. Some of the students also complain about plagiarism which is a crime. But I did not face any challenges during my courses.

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

Well, I did some courses for my academic purpose. I learned web designing and development, Data-structures and algorithms. It helped me a lot and also there is a system for financial aid. So, anybody having monetary issues can also have benefits. I'm planning to do a UX Mastertrack course provided by the University of Minnesota.

"Gaining proficiency and skills"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Coursera provides a wide range of courses for everyone despite their age and background. It also offers financial aid to the students enrolled in the courses. They are up to date with their courses.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

Since there is a massive no. of courses on the platform, this promotes plagiarism and also makes it difficult for the user to choose between the different yet similar courses.

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

With Coursera, learning can be done at any time and any place. It gives the user to complete the courses at their own pace without the worry of missing the lectures
