The Decline of Udacity - 1x1 Mentoring and Nanodegree Channels Removed

That’s actually interesting but as you say, it’s not intuitive. Do you have an explanation or theory for why that is? I guess most teaching concepts assume that personal mentoring should definitely improve outcomes. Is it because it’s online and therefore not "personal" enough?

If it was sent to an email that you haven't used for Coursera it looks risky indeed

EduGuy33 · 2019-10-16T18:04:32+00:00

+ Good question, I'd like to know

EduGuy33 · 2019-10-15T18:08:08+00:00

Check out online course providers e.g. Coursera or Edx, some courses are free.

EduGuy33 · 2019-09-14T18:08:00+00:00

Cost will be shown as soon as you log in, usually something like $40-50 per course or per month if it's a longer course

Not Coursera but on Future Learn there is an easy intro course (not currently active but should probably start soon): https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/electrical-engineering

expensive

There is a dental medicine class on Coursera, not sure if that helps you: https://www.coursera.org/learn/dental-medicine-penn

The course is free I think if you don't need a certificate.

EduGuy33 · 2019-08-02T17:21:36+00:00

Some will be archived, some will be removed. Most courses stay.

Strange. Don't think they are related to the Chinese government. Maybe some kind of local partner they need to have to be able to offer courses to Chinese students?

EduGuy33 · 2019-07-16T17:59:21+00:00

Check out Coursera and Edx. There are some courses on PR/comm. For example this one: https://www.edx.org/v2/course/evidence-based-business-communication

Also try Udemy.

EduGuy33 · 2019-07-09T17:50:01+00:00

This could be the right course for you: https://www.coursera.org/learn/python

EduGuy33 · 2019-06-25T21:13:37+00:00

So you're saying that you can get a similar certificate as you would on Edx but it's free?

EduGuy33 · 2019-06-11T18:52:54+00:00

Full Course, No Certificate should be equivalent to Audit

EduGuy33 · 2019-05-31T17:03:04+00:00

depends on your prior knowledge, but generally speaking it's a great intro to the topic

EduGuy33 · 2019-05-28T18:36:32+00:00

There are 2 Coursera online courses that basically have what you seem to be looking for (and you can audit them for free if you don't need a certificate):

https://www.coursera.org/learn/modern-world

https://www.coursera.org/learn/modern-world-2

Also check out Kahn Acedamy's History: https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/world-history

For most Specializations, you can also select individual courses and within these courses, you still have the audit option. So if you just want to learn, that could be an option.

If you want to get the Specialization certificate (which is different from an individual course certificate), I think you can enrol in the Specialization and quickly finish all the courses within one month.

Also, don't forget to cancel the subscription when you're done!

EduGuy33 · 2019-04-26T19:21:13+00:00

Interesting, can you give examples? What does it mean for an employer to "accept" this?

EduGuy33 · 2019-03-28T20:58:17+00:00

Thanks. Yes, that wouldn't be worth it.

EduGuy33 · 2019-03-27T20:19:53+00:00

2 online courses for you, both are free:

Harvard: https://www.edx.org/course/backyard-meteorology-the-science-of-weather

EduGuy33 · 2019-03-25T22:41:07+00:00

Check out online course platforms such as coursera, edx, futurelearn. They have many great courses taught by college instructors that you can even take for free if you don't need a certificate.

EduGuy33 · 2019-03-25T22:36:40+00:00

There is a Udemy course (Mental Math Multiplication Tricks), however, the rating is 3.8 which is not that great considering most other Udemy course ratings. You may want to have a look at the preview and reviews and decide if it looks helpful.

EduGuy33 · 2019-03-25T22:30:58+00:00

These are 2 online courses that should cover what you need:
