you should then take the nanodegrees. the kind of courses you are talking about are getting older now. the new nanodegrees have good materials.

so you thought of quitting a course even though they gave us 6 months to finish it?

their approach is good to ensure people follow deadlines just like you would have in a school/college setting because that causes maxomim graduation rates

Yep, turns out my goal is to learn things on the timeline I deem appropriate, not maximize Udacity's graduation rates.

It's all good though -- their chargeback rate is going up, hehe.

lol, ok. then yeah, udacity isn't for you.

While I have some issues with their deep learning nanodegree, the reviews on class-central are for the standalone course and not for the nanodegree... most students liked the nanodegree

After having taken Udacity's ND, the only way I would consider taking this course is if they go in-depth with the theory so that I can clear interviews and work on projects from scratch. There's just too many resources for DL now. It's getting ridiculous. Had Udacity gone in better details with their ND I would glady have paid double for them.

Coursera does not having proper support systems like good quality forums/any mentorship/project reviews. Although, been a while since I took a Coursera specialization, would rate Udacity higher on that front even though their ND was too basic (I can't even talk about what I did in a project clearly because of so much lack of stuff).

Let's see how this specialization holds up.
