Coursera Review
What do you like best about the product?
I have helped complete over 20 courses on Coursera for my students at my peer mentoring sessions. I am extremely happy overall with my experience with it. It offers a huge spectrum of classes in many different disciplines from liberal arts, to engineering. Also, the courses are offered from big-name universities like Brown, Stanford etc making them legit and trustworthy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The prices for these courses are really high and most of my college students are not able to afford that kind of pricing. Also, there is less student interaction which makes it difficult for students to find answers for something they can't find online and is specific to the class. Maybe this can be changed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it at UNT to help my students get certified in various courses which are essential to building a skill set and a great addition to their resumes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The best web service for online courses, but you might want to try other software like codeacademy if you just need to learn the skills and don't care about the certificate. But definitely, if you want quality, Coursera is the place to go.
great platform
What do you like best about the product?
Personally I like that the course is spread over few weeks, there are peer and instructor review of graded work completed during the course which stimulates to study the chosen course and put an effort into it.
What do you dislike about the product?
price and availability of courses (used to be free)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coursera provides quick access to the course which are typically designed for a quick immersion into a subject with minimum prior knowledge required. Hence to understand new subject better it's a great way to to that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
More 100% courses
Good product!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the multiple course options! It is also clear in each description as to what we should expect. I like the variety.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of tech options, I would love some more education/children focused. I disliked that not all of them have the option to be self taught, although I understand that may be a personal choice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's more so about professional development! Which is great-- I need 16 hours each year for work! It's really fun to learn more about different areas that I wasn't able to in college!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it for professional development for yourself or your employees! It has so many options, including self timing courses for the busy professional, or actual courses with deadlines for those who prefer school!
Best online education portal!

Coursera provides online courses including video lectures, and discussion forums. Coursera also grades using machine-graded multiple-choice assessments, rubric-guided peer assessments. Coursera provides the best virtual classroom like experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Coursera needs to expand the course list to include more subjects and content
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Coursera for improving my knowledge of my current field and also outside my area of expertise. The knowledge from Coursera makes me empowered and broaden my scope of work. Coursera allows me to take courses with flexible timing which is great option for working individuals like myself.
Good concept but....
What do you like best about the product?
I love the topics, the platform works great. The courses are high quality. The diversity of topics is huge.
What do you dislike about the product?
The prices of certification has gone really high. It switched from a free platform to a one that doesn’t let you take a course if you do not pay for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sometimes I used the information from some of the videos to develop concepts in my work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Great for instructor education

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were podcasts, not just video

Coursera allows me to keep my own learning current and up to date so I'm providing the best instruction to my students
A cool way to take informative courses on a variety of topics.
What do you like best about the product?
I like best the courses where you are not bound by weeks, where you can complete as quickly or as slowly as you want to.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that more and more of the material is costing money. Not even getting the certificates, but even taking quizzes is sometimes only opened up by paying. I understand you need to make money, but the appeal was the zero-cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I need to learn about topics (coding, analytics, etc), I can take a free Coursera class instead of enrolling in a cost-based program.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are tons of excellent courses on here.
An Online Course Hub

Weekly exams and assignments related to the classes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Timing of some courses is not suitable for all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some problems need troubleshooting, which requires some additional skills. Coursera helps a lot to get introduced to something absolutely new. Acquiring extra professional skills.
Coursera Review
What do you like best about the product?
I have helped complete over 20 courses on Coursera for my students who come to me for career advising. I am extremely happy overall with my experience with it. It offers a huge spectrum of classes in many different disciplines from liberal arts, to engineering. There are always skills out there that people want to learn, but don't have a good way to do it. Coursera partners with teachers from reputed universities (ex. Johns Hopkins, Duke, Brown, etc.) to provide well-structured courses including lecture videos, homework, quizzes etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that Coursera charges so much for verified certificates for courses. The $50 or so per course may not seem like a lot for a good quality class, but it is infinitely more than the $0 option with no certificate. Also, it charges you around 300$ which is very expensive for most of the students I deal with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to help my students at TCU as a career advisor with taking new courses and building up their resumes with valuable certifications essential to their profile.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The best website out there to help students with difficult courses and build up their profile. A huge shoutout and thumbs up to the Coursera team. Definitely, recommend it.
Best Professional Development Out There!
What do you like best about the product?
The variety of courses to choose from is incredible! There are so many different subjects covered, and they are taught by amazing instructors! It is like I am getting an ivy league education for free!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some courses are only available on specific dates and I have missed out on classes I was really interested in. I understand why, but it would be nice if you could access any class at any time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Professional development is easier, I am able to learn new skills to use in my job for FREE, and i am able to continue learning at my pace from incredibly intelligent instructors!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Coursera is the best tool out there if you want to learn more about a certain area to improve your skills and knowledge! I love that it is so easy to use and there are TONS of courses in multiple areas of study! I also like that the instructors engage with you and that they are doing this simply because they want to better the world by providing education to people who need it and want it. Coursera is awesome, and I honestly don't have any dislikes! I also like that you can get a certificate in various courses! It's definitely a great site!
