Coursera

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Coursera. I have loved the learning I have been able to do and look forward to taking many more classes with them. I have always been interested in Psychology and Coursera has given me the chance to take the classes that really interest me. I don't understand the reviews with low ratings. I have never had any problems with them.

I was fortunate enough to get a good teacher who valued that each person learned different and gave the one on one communication that was necessary. Throughout the 6 weeks of study the teacher made pre-videos to break down information in powerpoints as well as visually trying to draw out what he meant when it came to new vocabulary and understanding. He was great. Not only did we have access to him in an E-mail but also the other students in the classes for somewhat of an online group study. I think all the classes just depend on the teacher because the one I joined has an agenda and all tests were a review of what we’d done. It just included taking many notes for the questions were made to make you think.

I'm delighted to have this course offered on Positive Psychology through Coursera. I found out about it through the Friday Center at UNC. The professor, Barbara Fredrickson, is renowned in this field and she teaches PP at the University of North Carolina, near me. I appreciate the format and set up of the course. The videos are very well done. Barbara has 3 other people with her, all employees of UNC, who take the course and we get to view and hear their interaction. I'm extremely interested in Positive Psychology and you won't find a better professor than Fredrickson. A helpful aspect is that you can save notes, repeat parts of the vids, and you have written text to follow if you like along with the vid.

I enjoy my current experience with Coursera. At the moment I am taking two courses, both in the Marketing sector (Digital Mkt by University of Illinois and Neuromarketing by Copenhagen Business School). I find the videos interesting and the assignments as well. I learned many interesting things in these couple of weeks and I'm looking forward to check also the other course materials. Also, great customer service on the chat!

I'm not sure why so many people don't like the site. I have been using Coursera more or less since it first started and I have watched as it's matured into one of the best MOOC sites on the Web. There are a variety of topics where one can learn what he or she is interested in, including computer science, cybersecurity, data science, writing, history, math, video game development, and on and on. Best of all: it's free! Yes, if a person wants a credential to put on his or her resume or LinkedIn profile, then he or she can pay a fair monthly fee, but it's not required.

Awful way to get certified online. They don't give refunds unless you cancel your subscription and that is only for a month at best. They force you to cancel or continue to charge you monthly when their labs always have errors that prevent you from finishing on time. Very shady, a shame I wanted a solid certification and it had to end like this 200 down the drain. I see a lawsuit on the horizon against them.

I've submitted a cancellation request more than once and they keep charging my card. I'm submitting a complaint to my credit card company and hope they can help me reverse the charges. The content was ok, just don't need to spend $85 a month - that's how they really make money, just keep draining their customers' accounts.

I was interested in a Coursera course and, for trying it, I gave them my credit card information. They offer you 7 days for free, and if you unsubscribe, they won't charge you for it. In my case, I would have started to pay the 29th April, but I unsubscribed the 27th April, double checking that there wasn't any active subscription left (which there wasn't). But to my surprise, the 29th April they charged me with a month subscription! If I enter my payings and subscriptions page, it says that I have never made a payment and I don't have active subscription (which I know, because I had cancelled it, but now I fear they will still charge me for it the next month).

Another person summarized it best: "They charged me for their courses without notice that it needs to indicate free trial ends soon and no refund to be made. This is ridiculous service system and policy that I ever heard about that." I have lost $450 to this site as the transaction fees got sent to the spam folder and they do NOT give you alerts on transaction. Why? Because they're desperate to rob you. You can contact them and prove that you have not used the courses and they'll still charge you based on "no refund" policy. ** Coursera. Did I mention ** Coursera?

I decided to take the Internet of Things Specialization and was willing to pay the $49 per month for the online classes. What I found within the first week of taking the course was the quizzes were not completely based on the material provided. The video lectures, required reading, and optional reading assignments did not provide you with the information to pass the quizzes.

They charged me for their courses without notice that it needs to indicate free trial ends soon and no refund to be made. This is ridiculous service system and policy that I ever heard about that. Even I can get refund even I forget to cancel free trials from a demo program or a learning platform. This policy is a scam that it is no refund if free trials ends.

I enrolled in the computer vision course and was very disappointed with Coursera. There were several problems where I mention the 3 main ones. 1) The content of classes very shallow. 2) An almost complete lack of relation between the contents of the classes and the hard tests and finally, 3) No pedagogical support, or communication channel, e-mail, chat, absolutely nothing. Summary of my impression: I felt myself studying alone, reading a vague material, and experiencing tests that could not be solved based on classes. It is a 5-week course and I observed that the students, like me, are giving up after the second week.

Absolutely disappointed about this company. I subscribe for free trial on course and then decided to cancel it. When I tried to do it, website offered me half price sale, which I was agree on and was continuing learning. I paid half price for the course as it was written in my agreement and finish the course with certificate for a week. After 2 months I been charge for the whole price of course. I opened a chat with customer service and asked them for refund because I felt it was unfair. My learner support was someone with name Brady.

I was given an advance course. When attempting to cancel I was notified courses would remain. They indicated 7 day free trial. I was charged twice 79.00 and 49.00 for less than 15min and that time was going thru process of trying to cancel. I am 75 years old and this was not what I wanted. The initial information was 39.00 after trial period. I was charged over 3 times immediately. What a fraud. I am also writing a letter to the Attorney General of Florida.

I signed up for a Free Trial. I have supposedly cancelled this subscription several times. They have charged me 3 months, despite my repeated attempts to cancel the course. No phone number to call. Rip-off company.

I only wish I had researched this site before I became involved with Coursera. I contacted the company via chat - there are no telephone numbers - to discuss a missing certificate, and instead got the royal run-around. He did not answer my question. He was rude, and, without my permission, enrolled me in another class. Both he and the follow-up caller continued to say I was not enrolled, not had completed 3 classes since November, but when I offered to send him copies of those certificates he gave no response. I cannot find out how to cancel my monthly online paid subscription. Another person notified me by chat and the results were no better. Sometimes money spent on a bogus deal can be the best education. Maybe that should be Coursera's motto.

I got Coursera from Class Central, signed up, took the class, passed, and paid for a certificate. However, I am still trying to print or download my certificate. There is literally no one at Coursera; no email contact and no phone number contact. This site is a scam along with Cass Central. I finally got someone at Class Central, Laurie **, but she was also no help and she admits there is no contact person at Coursera. Class Central is willing to list Coursera on their directory even knowing the struggles people have gone through. Class Central is just as bad as Coursera; both scams. I will not be taking any more classes through this site.

I have used Coursera for around three years. I have found some very interesting free courses but have never used the paid version so cannot comment on that. It is good for beginners as there are many courses for them but there are some good advanced ones too.

Do not use this company. They promise a free trial but debit your card even after you have canceled the free trial. DO NOT USE. They pretend that you have canceled after your subscription has been renewed. I have requested a refund but doubt very much that I will receive it.

I signed up to do one course, not realizing they keep charging a monthly subscription. I got dinged for over $100. I went in to cancel my subscription, annoyed but willing to eat the cost. Then today they charged me again with no option to get a refund!! I am fuming but unable to find any access to a phone number or email where I can query this. So I've paid $200 over and above the cost for the course!!! I wonder how much money they've made off suckers like me? Never will I use this company again.

Got charged for a course that I didn't sign up for and now they refuse to refund me or even transfer the credit to another course. Stay far, far away from Coursera and do NOT give them your credit card info!

It looks like my problems with Coursera are consistent with other users. These are NOT free classes. The fine print is confusing enough that you'll wind up getting $49/month charged to your card, and they "don't do refunds"... even if the consumer did not realize s/he was buying a product. And if you try to cancel this unwanted subscription? Best of luck getting a hold of anyone at the company who will assist you. Do NOT give them your card number!

I am pleased with the course I took. I am sorry to hear about the billing issues people had; I did not have those issues. I found that most of the courses are free, but if you want grading and a certificate you have to pay, which is reasonable. If you don't need a certificate you can actually use this as a study tool. My only problem is that I can't seem to print my certificate let along view it. I have the receipt that I paid $49.00 so I should be able to print the certificate, but am unable. The frustrating problem is that there is no phone support or email support. I have tried using the Chat feature, but nothing happens. I will continue to use this company only if I can get help printing my certificate. If I can't print my certificate then I have wasted $49.00 and have been scammed.

The subscription is extremely expensive!!! I don't think the subscription cost should exceed Netflix subscription (8$)! Producing a set of tutorial is certainly less expensive than what Netflix pays for producing TV shows (Netflix paid around $7 billion for content alone, not counting the salaries of 5.5 thousand employees) and they make me entertained. WHAT THE **!!! 49$!!!

I want to first point out that I graduated in 2016 from UB with my BSBA. UB is an AACSB accredited business institution and a world renowned R1 research university. My concentration is MIS, so to continue to build on my technical know-how, I decided to enroll in the very first blockchain specialization offered by UB through the Coursera platform. I enrolled in a monthly subscription for $39 in August. On 10/7 I received an email stating that there was "an issue processing your payment." I had already taken tests and started the project so I hurried to update my payment information. I waited and waited but the money never came out and I never regained access. I attempted to just reenroll, simple, right? Well instead of the $39 I signed up for, they wanted $49 to enroll again. I have a billing statement for $39 dated 10/7 and another requesting me to update my payment method and pay $39 by 10/12.

I had great expectations for this service, as it was recommended by a college advisor from Stanford as well as from the company I work for. However, after putting in many hours of work, completing all of the quizzes and reading materials, I was unable to pass the course at the end of the 5 weeks due to a flaw in the peer-review grading system.

I signed up to take ONE class and they sign you up to make monthly payments without telling you. Even though I was not using the service during this last month I was charged. They do not refund subscriptions. Total scam and worst company I have ever made a purchase from. I would give it zero stars if I could.

DO NOT give them your Credit/Debit Card #. I've been charged 8 times for a single course. When paying for the course, it errors out a few times. I reopened the browser and the payment. I later discovered that they double charged me with EACH failed AND Successful attempt. I've been charged 8 times for 1 course. That in itself wouldn't have been a big deal, IF I could reach them to fix it. Help Center is just a FAQ. The question that most closely resembles my problem directs you to contact them. Only thing is, the Contact Us link just links back to the FAQ.

I signed up for a Modeling Risk class and did not like it so I followed the direction on how to cancel subscription by going to My Purchases. I did this over a month ago and I still see $79 being charged to my credit card. There are no phone numbers listed to call. There is a chat but it's being operated by a robot. I just want my money back.

My experience with Coursera is terrible. I was charged $64 each for two courses which I explored as a part of trial. I was charged $128 for two courses on Aug 14. On realising that, I cancelled my further subscription. After 1 week, the courses were removed from my account and there was no purchases history showing up. My subscription was to end on 14th September. When I tried to contact them, finding their email address itself was a long journey. I emailed them explaining the whole issue. Few days later, I got an email from them to rate their customer service which they never provided. People from big companies like Google and reputed universities are partnering with them and they are doing all this to disgrace them as well. I thought Coursera to be very good platform to enhance your skills, but they are just conning people. Wonder how come reputed people are partnering with them!
