#AskFedi does anyone have experience with #udemy courses? I’m considering purchasing their #securityplus#security+ course and I’ve read the reviews, I just don’t trust those reviews and would rather hear direct from customers
There's also a mild to moderate cold that is being passed around the family here. We suspect that Grandson_3 brought it home from school. He's been coughing and sneezing off and on for about three weeks. Grandson_4 has been exceptionally clingy and whiny, though he has only sneezed / coughed occasionally. Grandson_5's nose has been running about the same length of time, with occasional coughing or sneezing. And I'm going through my third wave of it.
So I think that's also part of what's going on educationally.
The thing is, I need to finish these programs. In the case of DataCamp, bthall paid for a year's subscription. I want to complete as much as I can before the year ends (late December / early January). The Coursera programs are being funded by New York State;s Unemployment Insurance program, even though my benefits timed out almost a year ago. I have no assurance that they'll leave the funding open forever.
With all that is happening, it is quite difficult to force myself to do these courses every day ... but I try my best to participate in both of them (and some #Udemy courses that I paid for in the past) despite the obstacles. I'm nowhere near 100% successful, but I'm doing my best.
That's a frequent thing on their courses, but I've never encountered it with #Coursera or #Udemy or #Udacity or #Linda.com / #LinkedInLearning. It feels like they're intentionally tripping me up with gotchas.
