Overall Satisfaction with Coursera

In my case, I only have taken some lessons privately through Coursera.

Pros

  • Coursera provides very practical and cutting-edge courses. I think it's very useful for many software engineers or architects. I prefer learning in Coursera to getting any other examinations or certificates in order to grasp practical knowledge.
  • Coursera can federate with my LinkedIn profile. You can show your achievement on the internet instead of some real "paper" certificates. It's great and a pleasure.
  • It may be not so advantageous in comparison with other MOOCs, however Coursera provides web testing. It proves your knowledge & skill is real stuff.

Cons

  • I feel it's slow to load course pages.
  • If someone finishes the lesson, he/she could have more sophisticated knowledge on the field. It will impact our ability to determine something in the future.
I recommend it for other engineers to take web courses related to their current problems. For example, Algorithm class will be enable newbie developers to write good code.
