Hooked on Coursera
I was feeling a bit stagnant and in a rut, so I took my first Coursera thinking maybe new ideas would help me jumpstart my brain after 3 months of quarantine-induced staying at home.I have worked from home for over 10 years now, and I am always learning new things on the job, but still, things just felt different. The first course I took was “Learning How to Learn.” It blew me away! Not only did I learn useful information, but it was incredibly enjoyable and I have been able to apply the information on the job. As soon as I finished it, I enrolled in a course on inquiry and research. One of the recommended readings, a book called “Curious” by Ian Leslie, was again enjoyable and applicable to many areas of life. I would not have come across this book had it not been for the course.I recently enrolled in “The Science of Well-Being.” Excellent. The Coursera platform is easy and convenient. I am very busy, and was able to listen to videos, read articles, etc., on my phone while I waited in line or took breaks.Show lessCarla in West Virginia USA
Should be better.
I enjoy doing Coursera courses at my convenience. Lately, I have been taking advantage of my ipad pro to do the courses on the go. The app is pretty and the interface is fine but the functionality is lacking. i am doing some courses that use the IBM skills network to conduct labs and for those, I have to switch to one of the mobile browsers on the ipad and navigate to the coursera website... I'm not sure why the app can't do what the browser does on the same device, but with a lab intensive course, it's not really worth swapping back and forth. When I searched for answers on the website, I came across this sentence: " Try using a computer (not all features are available on the Coursera app)". My advice - try making your app more useful.Show lessiusadgh cfuygs
Awesome course
I love the flexibility it has To be able to read the lectures from bed and feel your part of the class at Yale it’s amazing 😉
I love the content I wish my daughters 16 & 14 will take the course this should be taught in high school so they could begin college without the pressure of grades Life should be more joyful if we take out social media or give the tips to use it properly and teach about those miss conception telling or asking to be aware of all the things we have Like the technique of gratitude writing ✍🏻 each day why are I am grateful for should be a mandatory kids homework 📚Show lessmariavgarces
Savoring & Gratitude
Enjoyed lectures and found savoring rewarding. Prayed for each of three grown children & spouses, nine grands & my husband by choosing a tulip representing them, tall purple for males, tall pink for females, yellow for young gymnasts, and petite pink for 2-year old granddaughter.
Had to take deep breath after 53 years of marriage to swallow two-year increased happiness level. Happiness factors are what we have lived with. First daughter, Phi Beta Kappa & top of UNC med school class, had high expectations for four children now 12, 15, 16 & 19 & that is a disaster. Son, two years younger with 3 children and type A, Masters top of UNC nursing wife, has taken different approach focusing on children not being pressured. Seems to work better for 8, 9 & 14 year olds. Third has 2 & 4 year olds
Looking promising.

Buggy since 2015
Firstly, this is not a review of Coursera, which is a great platform that is a credit to the internet; this is a review of the app. I first downloaded this app in 2015, and I believe it has actually gotten worse as time goes on. From GUI bugs, to graphical glitches, unresponsiveness, and the final straw for writing this review: Even the support ticket request page doesn’t work. I was required to dig through the web-based help center until I could find the ticket request form. Even trying to send the logs to support, I receive “Error. Device logs are not available. Try again later.”
It’s not a great sign when an app is so broken that you can’t even request help properly.
Hopefully your mileage will vary. Otherwise stick to the web-based service for now.Show lessNeberheim
Issue with iTunes Payment
The app is good and I thought everything was perfect until it was time to turn in an assignment. The assignment part is locked because according to Coursera my subscription had expired. Only I had just subscribed a week prior and it was a 30 day subscription. When I contacted Coursera one agent told me to contact Apple because the payment occurred via iTunes and they don’t have access to their payment platform. When I wrote back another agent told me to unsubscribe from Apple and to pay again but via their website. I feel like this is a trick to get people to subscribe from them directly so that they don’t have to pay Apple the 30% that Apple charges them. It’s ridiculous. Don’t subscribe from Apple if at all possible.Show lessPeter-Pete
Issues positive vs negative
The course content is superb and the professors are excellent except when professors have issues speaking English. I had difficulty understanding some professors and became frustrated and withdrew from the course. Course variety is very good. My university will not accept my completed courses. I would like to see a definitive understanding between online Coursera and all universities. I’ve had better and more sophisticated classes with Coursera than I have had with my University of Washington. I want to finish my BA or BFA at University of Washington and trying to interface with them and trying to prove that the course I’m enrolled in with Coursera is impossible.Show less05031914h
Amazing Class- Screen Casts are Super Helpful
I am auditing this class so some of the material is not available to me but the screen casts and the order of the lesson material are exemplary. If you have ever tried to learn something about excel off of You Tube you know that teachers run through something way too fast and you spend a lot of time rewatching and pausing. These screencasts are perfectly paced and easy to follow. The end of lesson post tests are challenging but fair. Great experience and next time I won’t be a cheapskate and actually pay for the class.Show lessPoodledaddy
Not bad but a little disappointed
This is an awesome app that’s super interactive and very in-depth on all of the its topics but some courses have descriptions that talk about helping you get your career started after finishing the course by sharing you information on a survey you take through an email sent some time after completion(I had to talk to someone to get mine sent) and after you finish that survey that collects what companies you want to share your info with, you have to wait to hear back from “someone” in the future( 4 months and counting) so great information but I can’t even find the job description this certificate is for, on the google website so.. just a tad salty. Hopefully this changes in the future to help people who have a passion for this industryShow lessMonchu5492
Good content, support, not so much.
After taking a course for a few weeks, I tried to submit an assessment and the app told me I needed to upgrade. Was rather strange since I had subscribed through iTunes. When I contacted support, which was really hard to find btw, I was told ‘there’s nothing we can do, contact Apple.’ It was clearly a system error on their part but it was me who had to make the effort to remedy the situation. No offer of compensation, a weak apology, and time not well spent trying to submit an assessment. If it were just about the content, the rating would be higher but the lack of customer service left me rethinking where I want to spend my hard earned money on online education. Buyers beware.Show lessJP1460
