Introduction to programming nano degree

  • June 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The program balances video and text instruction well while keeping things very interactive. The program Includes a lot of information on a variety of languages.
What do you dislike about the product?
The program could use more repetition of each new concept introduced. I think it would be helpful to do each thing several times before jumping to the next thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem I’m solving is that I want to be a developer and prior to this I didn’t have any experience with programming.

I still have a long way to go, but now I have a solid foundation.

Passion, consistent knowledge and challenging projects. Grow with Udacity.

  • June 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Udacity provides consistent knowledge, state-of-the-art content and outstanding (applicable directly to live situations) projects. Studying is remarkable experience. All is in your hands. Udacity can lead you and provides the best (field-proven) learning process ever. However, everything is your hands. The most profitable way to achieve your goal(s) is o work systematically. Daily work guarantees smooth completion of the program and secures the boosted enjoyment at the end. Good luck. Please note that I received a discount on my next purchase of a Nanodegree program for writing this review but I completed 5 Nanodegrees before. They are state-of.-the-art.
What do you dislike about the product?
Frankly speaking there is nothing which can be qualified as I dislike that. Everything is absolutely perfect. I have over 22 year experience from schools, university and finally PhD. Udacity stays far beyond my expectation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am very interested in robotics, autonomous machines, AI and of course Deep Reinforcement Learning. Thanks to Udacity I captured the unique knowledge. I applied almost all the learnt knowledge in my daily work rutine project (machine vision and robot intelligent motion). There are a lot but it will be much more. The biggest benefit here is that each day for me is perfect and different. I feel strong and happy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just continue what your are doing. Probably more Nano programs connected wit AI, Machine Learning, Deep Reinforcement Learning and Robotics. C++ language should more boosted (beside the C++ Nano program).

Go with the Trend - and let Udacity help u

  • June 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Nanodegree content is just amazing and the project-review concept forces you to really encounter the topics in the learning sessions. After I graduated, I really had the feeling I learned something complex and challenging in a quite short period of time. The degree is definitely not given away for free and Udacity does not fear to teach the necessary and sophisticated topics that define the current changes in the world of data science. However, this set-up is actually what makes Udacity different from other (free) online academies.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, not quite much. Actually, the time indications for the learning sections/projects were in my opinion "far too optimistic". The price is also "not low". Nevertheless, you can see it as a financial incentive to complete the program. To be honest, I do not know if I had finished it otherwise, even though in retrospect I am glad I did.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I entered the world of programming/data analytics and scratched the one of data science. This really motivated me to dive deeper into these topics and combine the stuff I learned at University (Finance and Accounting) with the one Udacity teached me. The potential synergies are amazing...and I just realized them because I completed the course.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Choose your course/program wisely. Inform yourself what suits you and eventually go for free courses first to learn the basics of programming

Additionally, do not expect that you do not have to learn on your own. The videos and mentors (in chatrooms) help you, but it is not like everything comes easy. You cannot just click through the video and quizzes, because you will need the knowledge at the time you have to submit a project...

Please consider that “I received a discount on my next purchase of a Nanodegree program for writing this review."

Excellent courses and programs

  • June 29, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
They keep up with the industry. That means the skills you learn are relevant and it's easy to find a job.
Btw, I received a discount on my next purchase of a Nanodegree program for writing this review.
What do you dislike about the product?
Recently they had raised the prices to the point where they weren't competitive anymore. I get that they've got quality content and they offer other career services to help you find a job and they were justifying the prices with the fact that you'll get the money back via your future job but frankly there are a ton of amazing courses out there that are either free or just a few $. Recently I believe they're trying a new approach which seems more resonable, something like $300/m and also a pre-paid option where you save some $.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I did find my first job by showcasing my Udacity work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Udacity is always a good choice to go with. They've got programs that are gonna keep your knowledge right at the bleeding edge of your field.

Very happy with the Digital Marketing Nanodegree experience

  • June 29, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Digital Marketing Nanodegree program focuses the students on well-known, commonly-used marketing tools and services. While I was already familiar with some of the tools prior to starting the program, I gained a better understanding of each and, more importantly, how they can integrate with each other.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you're already familiar with online marketing and some of popular tools (Hubspot, Adwords, etc.) then some of the program content may not be as useful as it is for someone new to the role.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been able to fine-tune my company's online ad campaigns using the knowledge I gained from this program. I've begun using some of the SEO tools that were introduced in the program, as well. While it does not influence my thoughts or this review, I do want to state that I'll receive a discount on my next purchase of a Nanodegree program for writing this review.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Udacity for targeted learning. The Nanodegree programs are great collections of valuable topics, but the individual courses are extremely useful, as well.

Excellent Learning experience - Design Sprint Nanodegree

  • June 29, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Unique content, Excellent support ecosystem and Real life project experience.

Course Content : Firstly Design Sprint is not commonly taught course and specially in online mode so was bit skeptical when started the program. Trainers from AJ & Smart did a very good job is describing Design Sprint Phillosohy very well. Though in some places The project selection to explain the concept and Sample project was bit confusing.

Project : Real value of Udacity platform is Project reviews and real feedbacks you get on various milestones of the project making entire learning experined. very valuable.

What do you dislike about the product?
Course are bit costly compared to other MOCC providers.

Mentor Support is thumbs down. A lot can be done by mentors but it was only limited to keeping track of checkins. When you reply something to mentor they often reply late so link gets broken.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Application of Design Sprints at work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Review Course content thoroghly. Review free videos from Udacity available on Youtube for same course. Its time stipulated course so start only when you can devote double the time mentioned on Udacity program on the website.

A well-structured problem-oriented "Data Structures & Algorithms" Nanodegree

  • June 29, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This nanodegree program contained lots of awesome real-world problems both scattered during the lectures and in the projects. I also got feedback on my code which was great. The reviewers were quick and helpful. Moreover, I enjoyed taking several career webinars. The lecture content is of very high quality, and they invite such cool instructors as Sebastian Thrun, Peter Norvig, Soumith Chintala and more.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price is pretty high, especially for students. Mentorship you get is questionable: in my case, I didn't receive any useful information nor enough support from my mentor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I got more confident in problem solving and structured my knowledge.

Udacity Nanodegrees provides great hands-on experience, but won't make you an expert

  • June 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Learning how to use state-of-the art methods by working on actual projects is a great experience.
The Nanodegrees provide a huge amount of valuable knowledge in a condensed form, and demonstrate how to use it in real-life projects.
Great basis for starting own projects and further improving professional skills.

What do you dislike about the product?
Lots of typos, grammatical errors and imprecise mathematical expressions in the course material.
Seems like they are not proof-reading the course material.
Some of the presenters seem unprofessional and are not talented at teaching.
Quality of customer service is mediocre. Many of my request email were not answered at the first try because of "technical issues" at Udacity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the greatest benefits of a Nanodegree is to get state-of-the art knowledge AND demonstrations of how to apply it in practice. This really helps in closing the gap between reading a scientific paper and actually implementing the method.

The big downside is how expensive it might seem comparing to other platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Best among job oriented courses provider

  • June 29, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have changed my career from a mechanical engineer to software developer and got the job after completing Self Driving Car Engineering Nanodegree. I liked the content and the depth of the subject provided with industry partners. Now I am enrolled in Deep Reinforcement Learning course with the Enterprise account. I received a discount on my next purchase of a Nanodegree program for writing this review.


What do you dislike about the product?
Everything is perfect. From content to support for any issues. And job assistance also good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was a mechanical engineer and Udacity helped me to change my career to the software developer. Without Udacity it would have never happened so easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Udacity is good in everything from content to support. But most important for which you are enrolling the course is the skill and the knowledge development. Udacity is perfect in it. You just enjoy the lectures, assignments, and projects.
