I took an auditing position in a course called Introduction to Artificial Intelligence with Python. The instructor and curriculum were solid overall. The original course came from Harvard back in 2020. The problem is the course hasn't been maintained well since then. The first couple of weeks went fine, but when we got to session three on Uncertainty, things fell apart. The code file called model.py that they showed in the videos wouldn't actually run. It needed an external library called pomegranate, and the current version isn't compatible with the 2020 version being used. I wasn't alone in this either, plenty of other people had the same issue and posted about it. When I contacted support, they basically said they wouldn't help because I was just auditing. That's not a professional way to handle things. If your product is broken, you don't turn away people looking to use it.

Avoid this company at all costs. They're running a cash grab operation, pure and simple. Their sales team sells you a dream about improving your situation and learning valuable skills, but once you finish the program, get your certificate, and pay your money, you're on your own trying to find work. When I asked about job placement, they said there was no guarantee. Every response from their team felt robotic and formulaic. On top of that, I lost my mother while I was in the middle of their bootcamp. I was grieving and couldn't focus on learning. Their counselors only offered me one excused absence for the two days I missed for her funeral. No option to postpone, no offer to restart with a new cohort, no refund, nothing. This is a money-hungry corporation that doesn't care about students. They've probably just rebranded and relaunched this same scheme under a different name. Stay away.

Complete waste of money. I signed up for what I thought would be a solid biology course, and I'd taken other classes on this platform before so I figured it'd be fine. I was dead wrong. I put in the work, learned tons of material, spent weeks studying, and still bombed the final exam. I'm genuinely upset because it feels like the exam was deliberately designed so 90 percent of test-takers would fail. The questions were almost entirely about genetics and very little about general biology topics. The course title was totally misleading too, saying Introduction to Biology when it was really just a genetics course. The instructors weren't the ones making the exams, some outside third party was, and they clearly had no clue what was actually taught in class. They loaded the final exam with genetics problems that had nothing to do with the general biology content. I don't think I'll ever take another course on this platform again.

Took a fantastic course from Harvard, though I did run into one issue where dropdown menus in some multiple choice questions weren't functioning properly, which kept me from finishing the exam initially. Fortunately they fixed it. Overall the course was excellent, packed with useful material and great learning opportunities.

Finished a course but I'm still waiting for promised materials from the instructors. Despite sending multiple follow-up messages over several months, there's been no real effort on their end to deliver anything.

The instructions are confusing and sometimes incorrect. Module completion doesn't register properly which blocks you from accessing the exam. It's so poorly explained that you don't realize you missed the deadline rather than the exam just not being available yet. You're basically on your own. Really frustrating.

Great instructional materials and tons of courses to pick from. I do hope that the micromasters credentials eventually get more recognition within businesses and by hiring managers. I'm sure that'll happen down the road.

This is hands down my favorite platform for taking courses. When you opt for certificates, you get permanent access, which means you can work through courses at whatever speed works for you. Other sites charge monthly fees where you lose out financially if you don't finish within a month. The cost structure here is excellent. The course quality is outstanding with expert instruction, and depending on the specific course, the community forums are really active. Free courses are available too and they're just as well-made as the paid ones, just without the certificate. So you're getting quality education whether you invest money or not.

This is honestly my go-to site for online courses. If you pay for certificates, you get lifetime access and can move through material at your own pace. Compare that to other platforms where you're paying monthly subscriptions and losing out if you don't finish in a calendar month. The pricing structure is way better. The actual course content is top notch, with quality teaching and active student forums depending on the class. They also offer free versions of most courses, and the instruction is identical to the paid courses except you don't get the certificate. So whether you want to pay or not, you're getting good education.

Fun. Easy to use. Removes barriers to learning.

Solid learning platform overall. Responsive support team, tough assignments that make you think, and instructors who really know their stuff.

Really impressed with how educational this platform is. The course material was informative and kept me engaged throughout. The interactive elements made learning fun and kept me involved the whole time.

Thanks a lot for everything you provide.

The platform itself runs smoothly. I've taken several courses and navigating between different sections and resources is intuitive and hassle-free.
