Aight, if you're a college student you'll be able to take unlimited courses and get the certificates once you're done till September 30th

What kind of courses will improve my chances of employment? So far I'm doing an HTML/CSS/Javascript certificate oneweb development, and once I finish it I'll probably go to Excel, Blockhain and Electronics certificates.

Learning those things and getting involved with a project that produces something of use for people/clients. That makes you a cut above the rest ( doesn't guarantee a desired position however ).

Yeah, experience>knowledge for most employers, but still. What would be some basic stuff you'd like to see on an employee?

Yea I think your uni needs to be partnered with coursera and you need to use the referral link and sign up with your uni email. At least that was the case with my uni
(not OP btw)

Learning Html/CSS/Java or [Generic programming language] on Coursera or EDX is a waist of time. I would also recommend to stop with all courses that teach you a specific tool or buzzword. Excel and blockchain are probably useless. The courses I did where some EDX courses such as MIT's 6.00.1x Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python , MIT's 6.00.2x Introduction to Computational Thinking and Data Science, UCSanDiegoX ALGS200x Algorithmic Design and Techniques and UC San DiegoX - CSE 167x: Computer Graphics

These courses are structured the same way if you would attend those universities. So everything is about the concepts and they test if you understand the concept by letting you make homework that gets graded.

TL;DR Stop tacking the easy courses and start doing the real university ones. Also never take a course Where they mention Microsoft they are all BS

Because of you have a degree having certificates are meaningless since your knowledge in a subject is implied anyway

I redacted it very poorly. I meant that you have the chance to get into any course till september 30th. But you have plenty of time to complete any amount of courses you want, 2 months.
>>12143009
So far I'm searching for pretty basic stuff, but I suppose there are advanced courses on machine learning, for example.

Get into the "students" section and fill the info with your college email. Be sure to complete the whole process for it to register you as a student.

It looks like the duolingo of science, incredibly anti-intellectual platform teaching monkeys to code through painting by numbers.

Well this is probably dumb question but i do not really get the idea of theese. From the first look it seems that you just click through videos, readings and quizzes. But some courses have a part about meeting your classmates on the first lesson description, plus there is current date on the appply button (not sure if thisbis automatically set up to today or is it some absolute start for groupb formation), which in turn leads me to my question : are theese courses of the form i described first OR are they actually about attending an online class the instructor is making (university ones)?
