Udemy is pretty diverse and gives you some really great courses at a reasonable price. If you’re going to weigh the sites based on just certification, I’d recommend you not to do so as certificates are not of great value in the long run. Based on the Credentials, Coursera soars higher than Udemy. But that doesn’t mean Udemy is not worth it.
Yes, some institutions, including Stanford and Yale, offer free courses through Coursera. However, most of the free courses offer shareable certificates instead of college degrees. Free courses include IBM Data Science, Data Science with Math Skills, Brand Management, Financial Markets, Writing in the Sciences, and Data Processing Using Python.
The company offers more than 2,700 courses, 250+ specializations, and more than four accredited degree programs. Generally, Coursera courses are free to audit. But, to access graded assignments and earn a course completion certificate, you need to pay, which is worth your money.
If you do not earn your course certificate within 180 days, your registration will expire and you will need to pay to re-enroll for the course.
If you've completed a course on a subscription, you will retain archive access (access to videos, readings, and practice assessments, but not graded assessments) until the end of your last billing period.
Paid courses in Coursera give you a lifetime access. And the free courses in coursera gives you access only for a certian period of time.
Originally Answered: Is it useful to have Coursera certificates in your resume? Yes, the certificates will be valuable if the courses are related to your area.
Answer (1 of 2): No, you will not have to start from first. Coursera has flexible deadlines. So if you reset it, it will just give you a new timeline to complete the course. If you are paying for the course, then make sure to complete it before it expires.
Answer (1 of 5): As of 2016 April onwards, no more hard deadlines. All Coursera courses are on the new platform: http://www.coursera.org All deadlines on the new ...
Yes, if you have subscribed and successfully passed the course, you will receive a verified certificate as soon as you complete the course. Please note, though, that if there are any peer-graded assignments, you will have to wait for your assignment to be graded in order to complete the course.
If you miss a deadline, your grade won’t be affected, and you don’t need to change your deadlines. You’ll still be able to earn a Course Certificate once you complete all your work. If you submit a peer-reviewed assignment after your personalized schedule ends, you might not get enough peer reviews.
The following Professional Certificates are excluded from Coursera Plus:
The non-university coursera versions of courses are not trivial but they are also mostly not difficult to pass. Compared to uni versions they have less sections of work, no exams, and the assignments are typically quite a bit less involved. You can learn a fair bit from these courses .
After you’ve submitted your assignment and reviewed the required number of peers, you must receive at least 1 review on your peer-reviewed assignment before the course ends in order to get your grade. You can learn more about this here.
While uploading your files, ensure that the upload file format is exactly the same as mentioned in the assignment instructions.
The critical differences between EdX and Coursera are that EdX offers more science based courses, while Coursera has a balanced variety. EdX also allows individuals to take free courses (with no certificate earned), while Coursera generally requires a payment for courses.
Web video can be great in that it allows students to interact with the video. Learners can pause, rewind, fast forward and otherwise move through video at their own pace. Coursera videos are not.
If you fall behind in an on demand course, you can adjust the suggested deadlines, or turn them off. If you fall behind in a session-based course, you may need to transfer to the next session, but your record of completed assignments will transfer with you.
Sessions run about once a month, so you’ll never wait long to join a course. And you’ll receive credit for all work submitted before your session end date, even if you miss the occasional weekly deadline. If you don’t finish the course in one session, you can transfer to the next and pick up where you left off.
Session enrollment closes a few days after the start date, so if the session just started, you’ll still be able to enroll. Enrollment for the next session will open as soon as enrollment for the previous session closes, so you can sign up for the next session if you miss the window.
Will all courses now have start dates and deadlines?#N#No and yes. Some courses will run with sessions, and others will remain “on demand”. Both formats, however, will offer suggested deadlines. In on demand courses, you can turn off or adjust deadlines if the suggested schedule doesn’t work for you.

My financial aid is supposed to be over and there are still some courses I haven't completed, but I can still watch the videos and I still have the 'reset deadline' button.
