“I earned my certificate in a little over two weeks”
This course is offered in English with subtitles available in Arabic, French, Bengali, Ukrainian, Chinese (Simplified), Greek, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Vietnamese, Dutch, Korean, German, Pashto, Urdu, Russian, Thai, Indonesian, Swedish, Turkish, Azerbaijani, Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, Kazakh, Persian, Hungarian, and Polish. I am taking the course certificate, which costs $49, and the Coursera subscription.
I spent one hour each morning on this course and earned my certificate in a little over two weeks. The course is designed as a four-week program, with each week covering several topics through videos with transcripts.
One of the things I appreciate about Coursera courses is the convenient note-taking feature. Each video has a “save note” button, which takes a screenshot and saves it in the notes. I could also add my own notes to the saved items.
Each week, I took a test consisting of 10 questions from the lectures. I only needed to score 80% to pass, but I am happy to report I achieved 100% each time!
Overall, Coursera provides several accommodations for all learning styles. Andrew Ng presents the information in an easy-to-follow way and does a great job explaining information with real-life examples.
