Course Hero
It is a great tool to help students find help by providing it without having to pay a lot and search lots of sites, especially when it comes to finding answers based on the name of the course or the university, so it comes precise and directly without searching a lot for them.

Udacity
It's suited well to support on developing a project and following a set curriculum to get things and material in order. Also it has the idea of a nano-degree as the mini-certification to focus on working through a program over a course of a few months. It's more of an interactive course and best for having access for a set period of time. It helps to prepare well for exams but less beneficial when it comes to more applications I find, and should not be used to supplant any resource, but to use in conjunction with.

  • Quiz questions in some cases could be made clearer. I didn't feel the questions were always phrased in a way that I could easily understand what was being asked.
  • Requests for support can sometimes take a very long time to get resolved.
  • Cost structure changed from a fixed-price model to a subscription-only model, and prices are significantly increased as such.

I find it handy resource for learning. I have found the tutors quick to answer and it helps to solve the homework questions as well. It saves a lot of time. I always get support in new subjects and am practically ready for any new subject as there are always good course options available. I would definitely recommend Course Hero.

They are already very good. But, would be great if Udacity improves the area of standardizing offline projects and exercises so that people could attempt to work offline. Including documentation on how to do it. More practical or real-world projects to choose and work on after course completion. Maybe a community can do it.

I didn't personally have any issues with the program, but scheduling time to review the final project was easy, and the assistant was pleasant to work with.

Really good. The courses were really well articulated. the time of learning for less and understanding was good. These are high demand courses in the industry as well. So, these courses can be a great resource for personal and professional development. The material again is a winner on these courses

I combined my learning from various platforms and did on exclusively reply on any one. However, the free courses in Udacity lacks the comprehensiveness as Coursera.

  • I am already in a great position as a CTO with a great company. I hope to be able to build some new technology with what I am learning, but I haven't applied any of it yet to my own real-world problems. I will though.
