What I liked about coursera was that courses used to be 100 percent free along with certificate, available through financial aid. Now most courses don't even have audit available, just the preview.

Even for specialization, you could go to individual courses and still get audit version.

Is it just me who is upset with this new feature ?

 AI? Cybersecurity? Communication? Curious to hear your thoughts.

I’ve completed all three courses in the Philosophy, Science, and Religion series, and I’ve already received 2 certificates. The only thing holding me back from getting the final one is a pending peer review in the course “Philosophy, Science, and Religion: Religion and Science.”

My final essay in Module 6 is titled “Do Christians Have a Good Reason to be Vegetarians?”, and it’s been over a week with no one reviewing it. It seems like there aren’t many active learners in the course right now, so everything is delayed.

If anyone here has a Coursera Plus (yearly) subscription and is willing to enroll in the course and help review my essay, I would seriously appreciate it so much. I’m more than happy to return the favor if needed.

I’ve already contacted Coursera support, but unfortunately haven’t gotten a solution yet.

Thank you in advance 🤍

Hey everyone,

I’m a 2nd year CSE student and I’ve been thinking about doing some courses on Coursera to build my skills (especially in tech/CS related stuff) ,

I had a few doubts before I invest time (and maybe money):

- Are Coursera courses actually worth it in terms of real skills?

- Do recruiters really care about Coursera certificates?

- Is it better to just audit for free or pay for the certificate?

- Has anyone here actually benefited from it in internships or jobs?

I don’t want to waste time doing something that just looks good but doesn’t help practically.

Would really appreciate honest opinions 🙏

I finally started using the "save" function for future courses (I do the annual every few years) and I just looked and none of them are in there. I checked a random one I happen to remember and it's still labeled as saved.

I send in a message about it. Is this happening to anyone else? I've checked different browsers (second one has no extensions or ad blockers etc), same issue.

I seek to return to the office, in a new field.

I will train online, pursuing certifications and portfolio pieces.

3 Questions:

• Which subject should I learn. The subject I choose should be in demand, including with advances in AI?
• How do you recommend I determine which subject I'll most enjoy? Online courses require months, so I'm looking to quickly assess, upfront, what I'll enjoy.
• It's hard for me to stay motivated for months when I'm starting at a screen by myself, as online courses require. Do any of you have reccomendations for the motivation element?

My top fields of interest are

• data analysis
• sales operations
• marketing operations
• digital marketing.

Thank you.

I am a first-year Mechanical Engineering student, and was wondering if the Coursera certificates and courses are worth putting my time and money into. Has anybody got real use out of the certificates like putting it on your LinkedIn profile and it maybe assisted in landing a job etc. If you think it helped, what specific courses would you recommend for a mechanical engineer?

Hi, I’m based in India and interested in enrolling in this course to learn QuickBooks Online Accountant and eventually support US CPA firms.

I noticed the course mentions needing to create an Intuit account. I am facing issues in creating an intuit account and accessing QBOA with india number.

I’d like to purchase the course, but I want to understand whether students from India can fully participate if yes, how do they enroll for course and qbOA . Because enrolling for course with qbOA account is useless. Need your support.

Looking forward to your response.

Hey,

I would like to automate some of my work for instance

- driving conclusions from excel data

- using the same data to form a presentation with a short summary that can be shared with management on weekly basis

I would still be checking it for accuracy, but yeah. So I am looking for a course that could help.

If anyone has taken the course mentioned in the title by Vanderbilt University, could you suggest if it was worth the subscription. I am open to suggestions if you know of any better course that you found helpful.

Even something that helps you with prompts would be appreciated.

One a side note, I have been reading people complain about login issues after paying for coursera plus, whats the deal with that?

I recently enrolled to specialization which consists of three courses and currently following the first course. My concerns are it seems this is a dead course with no support. No discussion forums! No lecture slides! Professor skips math parts! No rating! Now im thinking why the hell I started this. 😩

All my courses that I have already been enrolled in are now saying locked and to upgrade to move on and continue. I had already subscribed to them and joined the classes. Why did this change? And now there is no support email to contact it's just a relay of BS help links.

I tried the 7-day free trial and decided to do subscription Coursera Plus after that.
I got charged twice for $67 and $80 in March. I'm now confused as to why I got charged twice.
How do I get the refund? It doesn't make sense to get charged for 7-day free trial.
Any suggestions is welcome. Thank you! #

I decided to start a masters program through a college/coursera and the experience has been awful so far. I've had to download multiple apps and go through multiple interviews/confirmation processes to prove I'm a person, and then when I tried to link my coursera account to my student account it seems to have replaced my learner account entirely with a fresh account. I've tried so many different logins to recover my original account but no dice. I've had multiple classes already taken and when trying to get help from coursera keep getting redirected to their stupid help articles. =/

So when I was searching for courses it showed me either I can choose to complete it in 2 months or 3 months or 6 months but it showed in a yellow box below 6 month option that I get free upgrade to Coursera plus. So if I pay 5100 for that course 6 month, do I get the entire Coursera plus for 6 months with it ? Has anybody else who came across this purchased?

I just received my coursera certification on Digital Communications and my name is written in English but the name of the course is in my native language (russian), how do i change it to english?
