Thanks Bernadette. This is my first experience with Coursera. It's super easy to use. A couple naïve, "learning-curve" observations:
- I found that the title of the course does not necessarily describe the content and that the written descriptions of courses might also be somewhat misleading. Enrolling in the course and watching introductory modules offered more context and was valuable. It's great that Coursera allows to un-enroll.
- I also discovered that some "courses" are actually “specializations” consisting of multiple courses, where only one or two individual courses are of interest.
