I’ve always felt like google and project based learning is the way to go. I haven’t done a lot of courses like that, but thanks for the honest review! I would have been really upset to spend full price on something to find it outdated and that the instructor wasn’t even being compensated.

@codevev 2 года назад

Definitely! Hopefully it's just one of their courses that's that way. But i have to admit I still learned things having to implement projects by myself and spending a long time figuring things out, though not at a rate that I would have liked too.

@jhayashi177 Год назад

Your comments are very helpful. Thanks for the honest observations about Udacity.

@codevev Год назад

Appreciate it!

Love the honesty and the level of details! Thanks

I ve been taking the reinforcement learning nanodegree and it is literally the best online course that I ever had

@codevev 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing your experience! I probably just got unlucky with this particular course

@-Hussainnn 13 дней назад

The way I go with learning programming: Watch a RU-vid crash course tutorial then dive directly to projects

@codevev 13 дней назад

Not the worst approach!

DO you know anthing about the non tech degrees. Like the business analytics program? i'm looking for something that will help boost my resume / my 2 year business degree. Anything finance related would be great. that's the best one i found on there? any info would be great thanks

@codevev 4 месяца назад

I am afraid I do not know much about the non tech ones. Sorry

@audyfromparis 2 года назад

I'm in the same situation: I enrolled in the digital marketing nano degree and it's sooo freakin outdated: all course content is 4 to 5 years old and I'm shocked. I'm going to ask for a partial refund because WTF - I'm wasting so much time AND money for worthless information.

@codevev 2 года назад

Yeah I was surprised and not in a good way. It wasn't totally worthless but definitely not $400 worth

@jamess5883 Год назад

Wow. Glad I read this.

@daniswara1164 Год назад

I think any marketing program teach the same thing though

@The_channel_of_channels Год назад

Well marketing is not something that evolves that fast. The main concepts are the same as 20 years ago and even further than that. Funny😆

@codevev Год назад

I would argue that marketing today is way different than 20 years ago. There's also a lot more research available on people's attention.

@fsaad531 Год назад

Good point though 🤣🤣👍

@codevev Год назад

thanks!

@saidscode5124 2 года назад

I think they updated the course contents recently. Any new reviews?

@codevev 2 года назад

I haven't really been on there lately but I'll check it out

@tubz1203 Год назад

What else would you recommend instead of Udacity, if anything?

@codevev Год назад

I think it really depends on your level and what you're trying to achieve. I've actually heard really good things about other Udacity courses, so if you want to get into Machine Learning and/or Artificial Intelligence, maybe Udacity is still the way to go. If you're just starting out though, check out this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uoV7XL0H_VA.html But for a total newbie my general recommendation is usually to start with freecodecamp.org

@mauricionarvel8945 Год назад

@Tubz Udemy courses are amazing, and majority of time are only a fraction of what Udacity chargers (~$13 usd)

@codevev Год назад

Good suggestion! Though I've only ever gotten a Udemy course for Calculus and not programming but you're right, it was amazing! I only did it after watching a lot of free content on RU-vid from the same author

@unprintable469 2 года назад

Sure, you pay much money for the courses. But the projects need to be done / coded by your own (so you lear by doing), you get personal feedback and also they have a lot of courses. So you cant just tell Udacity's ND's are useless only because of the React course. ;)

@codevev 2 года назад

I don't disagree. I just shared my experience and I still recommend Udacity as a platform to learn different skills, just not react :)

@beawarehelp6029 Год назад

Not personal feedback. They never gave me feedback. One project they just approved and another flagged as plagiarism 🤕😡😡 when i did not even know such github repo with solution exists

@codevev Год назад

I don't think I had a problem with the feedback but sorry you ran into that

@ma-tanica Год назад

I don't think the employers will even consider that. Are Google programs any better?

@codevev Год назад

Employers may consider that if you have a good portfolio you can show them. I haven't tried any of the Google programs, so I'm not sure if they're better. Probably depends on the path you want to take

Продают как курсы которые за 4 месяца дадут возможность найти работу на 100K$ в год.

Возможно мне просто не повезло, и другие курсы более новы. Но спустя четыре месяца хоть и можно найти работу в теории, на практике это довольно сложно без опыта.

$1200 to $1300 for an online course? Good thing you were able to get at 75% less...whew!

@codevev 2 года назад

Maybe other nanodegrees are better, my experience is based on just the React one

@harmoniousT Год назад

How much to take the courses?! 😮‍💨 definitely not worth it. I waited until they had the particular nanodegree i wanted available through a scholarship (business analytics) and I applied and got approved that way. I would suggest if anyone wants to take the courses but not spend money to do the same!

@codevev Год назад

I think I paid about $400 but as I mentioned I got reimbursed:) that's cool you could get a scholarship though!

@SmazzitSEOTrainingInstitute 10 месяцев назад

What are your thoughts on the Business Analytics nanodegree?

@codevev 10 месяцев назад

I haven't taken it so I wouldn't know for sure. Just beware of outdated content and ask for the refund if you find that's the case

@ibrahimabdulsamad9641 2 года назад

what about a masters Degree

@codevev 2 года назад

Usually it's more about what you can do and how you can communicate with people rather than what degree you have. But a masters degree would definitely help you get a foot in the door
