Bus-ride epiphany
Bus-ride epiphany
PriceHalfway through a bus ride last winter I clicked into a course and forgot the cold. Being a broke, middle-class student with a part-time job, paying for classes wasn't an option, so free certs here mattered. The lessons feel practical and short enough to do between shifts, app's simple, and that certificate looks good on a CV. I appreciate the people keeping this running.

Priceimagine if some full undergraduate or graduate tracks were offered free or very cheap — could be life-changing for people who can't afford formal degrees. If FutureLearn could nudge in that direction, it'd be brilliant. Grateful this platform exists. It made learning possible when I didn't have other options, and that matters.

PriceThe course was really good, eh. Had lots of useful info and interesting lectures and resources. But, the time given to finish it was too short, trying to make us pay for upgrades. It'd be fair to give everyone a certificate for taking part, and an extra one for those who pass the evaluation.
