Coursera.org Reviews

Many different possibilities
Jan 04, 2017 11:22 PM (via Android App)

I took several courses on Psychological First Aid, Graphic design, Photography, Negotiation etc on Coursera in durimg past months. I think it is an awsome and good quality learning environment. I especially like how they give their lerners ways to participate in making Coursera better. F.e I acted as a volunteer mentor in one of the courses and jad a chance to practice translating video scripts as a part of translation community. It is possible to participate in many courses for free if you don't need a certificate as well.

Very useful site
Oct 18, 2016 07:10 PM

Hi guys, I visited this site by my friend's suggestion .if you want to do online course this is the best site to do.This is one of the best online learning site. There are many courses from universities all over the globe including united states of america's university of Michigan and more . it contains all most all courses from tech courses to business courses .I completed my "python for beginners " course from Michigan university . the explanation was very good and easily understandable.and they also conduct tests in the middle of course .and the courses are taught by experienced professors from the universities. There are two types of it paid courses and free one . but in paid courses you have option to learn the course but they wont give certificate,you have to pay if u want certificate in paid courses .

WAS A GOOD OPTION EARLIER BUT NOT NOW
Aug 20, 2016 01:49 PM

I had registered for a course on graph analysis for big data. my friend had told me that it is an excellent site for free open online courses, so I registered for one. But on registering I found out that these courses are not free anymore. You have to pay a huge sum of money if you want access to full course material and a certification from coursera saying that you have completed your course.Also there are some of the lectures you can watch for free but for full access and certification you need to pay a good sum of money.Although the the way of teaching and the course material was good and informative but it is of no use to students who can not afford to pay its fees.


so I would say that earlier coursera was a good infact the best option to take open online courses but now you should go for other sites like NPTEL which is a government site and provides courses and certifications free of cost.

Enhance your skills for free! And certified too!
Mar 19, 2016 02:03 AM

Coursera provides universal access to the world’s best education, partnering with top universities and organizations to offer courses online.Coursera.org is one of the many sites that provides free courses to the people who are in absolute need of it. The courses range from various disciplines from Literature, art to many of those engineering ones an undergrad or even a post-grad, for that matter would look in for.


The design of the website is pretty delightful and imposes a sense of goodwill and harmony to get to start any new course. The course work is duly syllabic and is organised well to fit in as per an individual's requirements. To get started with you need to create your own account on the website. Account creating is pretty easy. Just the thing is that you need to provide a certain ID proof and submit your photo on live feed for the account confirmation. This doesn't take much of a time. Once done you are ready to go


There are video tutorials that one has to undertake and there are no fixed classes. Yes that means you can easily log in to your account and complete your course as an when is suitable to you. Now they are quite particular about the user accounts since Coursera.org offers various courses that are from well known universities from around the globe.This means that at the end of the course you are bound to get a certificate for your course work. Well that of course means that you have to do the assignments and answer the weekly tests given by them. After completing a certain number of assignments and term work the course concludes with the Varsity certificate(University that offers the course) .Not all courses can get you a certificate. But then you skills are a notch high once you take one of these classes and are able to complete them.


The duration of a course can last for over 2 months or 2 weeks depending on the course requirement and the amount of time one is comfortable to spend on completing it.Some of the courses offered for engineering students are basic C and C+ and they can go on to something as interesting as music signal processing using Digital Signal Processing and System and Signals techniques.


All and all coursera.org is really good in harnessing one's skills and adding that little required waitage to your resume.

Feb 21, 2016 03:38 PM

Coursera an online education which are "accessible for free". There are about 15 millions who are using this online education. This is available in many languages. This was launched 4 years ago in 2012.It is a good and profitable educational technology. This offers a massive open online course(MOOCs). Coursera works with top universities and organizations to make some of their courses available online. They  offers courses in many subjects including physics, engineering, humanities, medicine, biology, computer science, digital marketing, data science, and other subjects.


This is completely a better technology to students for learning in online because whoever unable to go to an institution for studies can use this technology. A complete guidance is given for students if they were aware of their studies. Some institutes may not have some subjects and charge a lot amount as fee for teaching them. But coursera as I said early they currently avails some courses for free. Video and audio classes are available here. Some of us have theoretical mind and some of them have practical mind, but don’t need to worry about that coursera offers education likewise to our thinking. Coursera not only gives education and also offering proctored exams at the end of these courses through ProctorU, an online proctoring service that connects proctors and students via webcam  provides course completion certificates. This will be helpful for finding jobs after education. Besides being printable, these certificates can be digitally linked to websites such as LinkedIn to show in the profile page of coursera course participation. This is completely a fortunate chance whoever can’t get out of their home for education.

Best way to learn
Feb 19, 2016 11:39 PM

Today, I would like to share one of the best experiences of mine which I had when I started learning online from Coursera.org.


Well, I joined "introduction to marketing " now I have completed it with 88% an got my certificate too. It was a month course and trust me that it was a fun while learning. You just have to pay$95 for a course and you now enrolled for a course. I did this from University of Pennsylvania "Worton school of business ".


I have now recently started another course from Duke University. Which I am sure you all must be aware about. Well, we have good options to educate ourselves online while you just need to watch you classes online and creak the exams.

Satisfactory Online course with good guidance
Feb 03, 2016 04:21 PM

I am CA by profession but simultaneously I wanted to study psychology. I was looking for online courses, as time does not permit me for full time courses. In between time, I came across this online platform Coursera.org that has wide range of online courses in different areas. I took psychology course and I got detailed material with qualitative lectures.


As I was so eager to learn psychology, I attended all lectures very well and material was very useful so I did not find it difficult to have quiz for this course of course I have to read it for 3-4 hours per day but worth reading. Each lecture was of 30 minutes long and after I got assignments to complete. I used to complete it by time. I attended many quiz and internal query session and I found it very interesting because faculty for the same course was excellent in terms of knowledge, syllabus preparation.


At the end, of course, I had final exam, somehow pattern and format was a bit different but I used to manage last minute challenges so I have referred my own notes and successfully finished this course with flying colours. Overall good learning experience. Worth taking course of psychology.

Free Online tutorials offering all sorts of course
Feb 02, 2016 05:20 PM

Free Online tutorials offering all sorts of courses


In today’s technological world, the Internet has become our classroom. The saying is now proved with various teaching websites available online. I was hesitating at first to register to Coursera.org as I felt it would charge for availing the study materials. However, I had to only register on the website and then I can access free lectures and tutorials. Yes, if someone wants to have specialized course or certificates then nominal amount is charged but I wanted to lean some compute languages and there were free tutorials for it.


I got the same feeling as I used to get in my classrooms. The teachers are highly knowledgeable, gave us assignments and projects and even resolve our doubts. The video teaching helps to stay connected with teachers. I could learn Java, C+ computer lectures with Coursera.org. many of my Engineering friends have taken study materials from here and yes, it was all for free. Very well conceptualized free education with proper attention to students.

One of the best website for learning.
Feb 01, 2016 10:30 PM (via Android App)

I have studied few courses, like android development on coursera.org , its really helpful. Teachers are too good, the homeworks they give are good to widen your knowledge. What I like is that, video doesnt take time to load, they offer so many courses which are really useful if you want to learn something out of the box.


They offer courses in various langs. I would like to suggest them that, if they could just make the UI better, it would be really good.


PS: Courses are free of cost.

A good option to learn...
Oct 14, 2015 01:31 PM (via Mobile)

A website that can teach you  in the comfort of your home and show what  world is doing. I am a member of coursera.com from past 3 years and have successfully completed a lot of certificate courses from there. The best part is for more than half of the courses I was not required to give any fees and got my certificate.


It is an amazing experience to know the world and understand how students of other nations and universities are studying. There are diverse options from which we  have to select that particular topic that we would like to study. All major big universities be it be Haword or Warton all are present.


They offer very small duration courses and tries to provide an overview of the entire subject. No eligibility or fees is required to learn what one would love to. A nice option and is often regarded as MOOCs( Massive Open Online Courses).

Great Source of Learning
Sep 27, 2015 12:49 PM

While searching for free online courses in art & humanities, I came across this website. On the homepage I was able to browse the catalog, which had categories like computer science, art, social, science, personal development math, etc.


After selecting Arts & Humanities, I was pleasantly surprised to see the vast number of free courses available under just one category.


I signed in for a english writing course. The course syllabus and format were clearly mentioned. After signing in you'll be informed about the number of hours you need to dedicate on a daily or weekly basis. There were video lectures, review materials and links provided which serve as a great source of learning. In case you wish to receive a certificate, you can pay an amount and get it too.


The learning experience was so pleasant that I signed up few more courses. Highly recommend it to everyone as there are plenty of courses and the best thing is that is free of cost and can can be extremely helpful in gaining a new skill or honing it.

Best online teaching website
Sep 18, 2015 07:32 PM

I am totally overwhelmed with this website! It's truly a very commendable step towards providing online education from top institutes as well as well qualified professors for FREE! yes its for free! One can find lectures from top uiniversities like Standford too!


One can find a variety of different categories in this website right from engineering, medicine, law to philosophy and even psychology!


I have tried a few courses in computer languages such as java and python and it really felt amazing to see how the proffessors teach us with so much ease and creativity. They provide us with timely notes and assignments which is really good for testing our own knowledge and understanding and how much we have grasped. Even during the video they automatically pause the video and ask relevant questions which is very useful to keep ourselves attentive to the lecture.


One just has to register over the website and he/she can access over a variety of free lectures. But for specializtion/ certificates one has to pay a minimum amount of cash. It is really worth it though, considering the way in which we are taught.


I have tried various different websites such as UDEMY etc but the amount of categories / subjects available on this site is much more than any of the other online education websites. It is indeed the best website for online education.

Taught by some of the best professors...
Jul 14, 2015 01:50 PM

This is a website where you can take online classes for different courses. You can find many courses. The teachers are the professors of some international universities like University of Michigan, California University, etc. There are some of the Indian institutes in it - IIT Delhi, etc.


The course can be registered for free or paid. If you pay for the course, you will get a certificate of accomplishment. Usually I do courses for free.


You cannot find all the courses whenever you want. There is specific start time and end time for the course. You have to register and follow their time table. They give assignments and notes for you to prepare.


This is very useful website. Visit this website before you do any course. Even if you are doing it elsewhere, use this to get your concepts clear.
