Coursera Review
What do you like best about the product?
Coursera is on the right track for providing education through the Internet. Overall, they have a wide selection of topics to learn, limited by the amount of ways you would like to challenge yourself.
What do you dislike about the product?
It looks like my problems with Coursera are consistent with other users. NO free classes. The fine print is confusing enough that you'll wind up getting charged, and they "don't do refunds".

Unfortunate for Coursera, the have some problems. Pricing terms & conditions, no phone number, bad support.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Learning game development in python was super fun
University at home
What do you like best about the product?
The quality. It's distinctive because of the broad field of learning you can have at your disposal. Also, the difficulty varies a lot, so anyone can learn, but usually Coursera is oriented more for undergraduates. I even had taken courses that I could not keep up with the pace because of the difficulty, so that's a good distinctive. It's challenging
What do you dislike about the product?
In some courses, the teachers are not that great. A lot of information given without sense. But it's like universities in general, where you have good teachers who work hard in order for the student understand it better, and others who simply and without interest don't like to spend time on making things easier to the student.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using Coursera for a long time for my own interests. It has given me the knowledge I have in all the languages I use/been using at work (R, Python, JavaScript, Ruby on Rails...). During the time I was freelancing, I was using Coursera to develop the skills I was freelancing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's one of the best MOOCs out there, not to say the best. For Spanish people it is expensive but for Americans should not be that expensive.
Fill in knowledge gaps at your own pace
What do you like best about the product?
To date, I've taken three specializations and one course with Coursera.
The courses I've taken have excellent depth and breadth. I've never felt as if I'm getting a "lite" version of a post-secondary course, but that the lectures and material are exactly what I would have gotten if I were attending class in person. Although some of the courses are now years old, faculty from the program are still active in the forums so I still felt as if I were going to get current answers to my questions.
I like the 7-day trial that many of the courses offer. In one case I was able to plow through the coursework before the trial ended.

What do you dislike about the product?
Impatient person that I am, in some cases I did not like having to wait on classmates to grade my work before I could proceed to the next course.
In the case of one course, the instructor spoke so slowly and in such a roundabout way that, even at 2x speed, the videos were intolerable to watch. Even though the course itself seemed to offer the information that I needed, I ended up looking to other online courses with more engaging instructors.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm an independent, self-taught developer. As such, there are gaps in my knowledge and few gaps in my schedule. Coursera gave me the means to fill in those gaps -- in particular in methodologies and in related technologies -- without burdening my schedule.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If possible, subscribe to full specializations instead of individual courses since you will likely get more out of the courses that way. The "capstone" projects are worthwhile insofar as they reinforce the specialization concepts in a practical manner.
