Did you like the experience? Was it useful? Did you pay for the full university certificate or just do the free parts of the course?

I took some of the free courses. It's really great. No point in paying money for the certificate.

I had to take a few prerequisite courses on Coursera when enrolling into a "brick and mortar" MBA program. At the time, I had a master's degree in history and wanted to get an MBA in finance. Gonzaga deemed I was a few prerequisites short and told me I could take a few online courses or sit through the real classes. I opted for Coursera.

I had to take two accounting classes from the University of Michigan. They actually weren't too bad. Of course it's not as good as being there in person but I enjoyed the instructor. He was pretty famous and was an authority in his field. It definitely wasn't easy and not what I expected from an online class.

You're not changing careers again, so forget about it.

Who says I’m trying to change careers and what do you mean again?

If it makes you feel any better, neither the Masters in history or the MBA and finance has made me a thin dime more or gotten me anywhere in my career.

I’ve heard different things. I head some employers like it because you are graded and evaluated in the full courses

Lol that doesn’t make me feel better. My parents keeps telling me to go back to school, but it just sounds miserable.

Never been impressed by these courses unless they are purely introductory.
