When Coursera took away the ability to take quizzes and assessments without paying, I stopped using it. I think the price point is too high and timeline too rushed for a casual investment. I usually don't need/want mentoring or people just an online course.
- rcheu 9y agoI finished their ML course pretty recently, and was able to take the quizzes and assessments without paying.
- _coveredInBees 9y agoI believe that only a small subset of courses on Coursera can be taken for free while being able to do the quizzes and assignments. A lot of them are restricted though.
- mindcrime 9y agoI think the price point is too high and timeline too rushed for a casual investment. That hasn't been my experience at all. I haven't seen a Coursera class that cost more than $79.00 and all the ones I've taken will let you switch sessions as many times as you want (so far as I can tell) making the nominal timeline a non-issue. I recently started a Bayesian Statistics class on Coursera, then got really busy with other stuff halfway through... I've switched sessions like 4 times now with no problem.
