Sustainability course disappointment

Quality

Before I signed up for the sustainability course, I was really excited to learn some top-notch stuff from Oxford University through GetSmarter. But turns out, the course material was outdated and sometimes wrong, so I decided to drop out. Even though GetSmarter said I'd get all my money back, I still haven't seen a dime. Their lack of communication is really getting on my nerves and making me worried. All in all, this whole thing has been a letdown.

Online course purchase

Quality

I thought the online course was kinda lacking. It wasn't very interactive and didn't have much depth. I felt like I was all on my own in the class with no support. The lean canvas module did have some good info, but in general, it just didn't live up to what I was hoping for.

NUS UX Design Course

Quality

Oh man, that course was a total disaster. The lectures were just not up to par, and there was a serious lack of substance. Plus, they didn't even cover everything about Figma like they were supposed to. The assignment submission dates were all over the place, and don't even get me started on how it's been two months and still no certificate. The communication from Get Smarter has been really disappointing. I would definitely steer clear of this course!

AI Course with MIT

Quality

So I just finished this AI course at MIT and honestly, it wasn't all that great. It felt like I was just a number in a sea of people, making it hard to really engage in discussions. Plus, getting feedback on my work took forever, which made it tough to know how I was doing. The videos from the MIT professors were cool and all, but some of the other materials were way outdated. It didn't really match up with what's happening in AI right now. The best part was definitely the assignments though, they were linked to real projects and helped me see how everything could be used in the real world.
