"Very proud to have completed the course and I will be attempting other certificates in the future. Cornell is at the forefront of online learning and I'd recommend it to anyone who can afford the rather high cost of the course."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | The courses are rather expensive, but the payoff is there. Don't take the online courses thinking they will be a breeze. It will take a good bit of your time. |
| Program Reputation | 6 | Cornell is a very well recognized institution. Most people are impressed with the certificate. |
| Program Quality | 7 | The instructor was very responsive and gave great advice on our projects. My classmates were nice, but not always motivated to complete work in a timely manner. |
| Instruction | 8 | My instructor was informative and respectful. He made himself available during off hours and made great strides to make me comfortable. |
| How Difficult | 5 | Online coursework is usually pretty easy. This course, however, challenged me to a larger extent than others have. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Online is very difficult to offer hands-on learning. They did make the experience the best I have had yet. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | Online courses are self-paced for the most part, with milestones to hit every two weeks. I felt very relaxed in completing assignments. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | This was an online course. There were no real facilities, just the online system. |
| Social Life | 4 | I was not very social. The are opportunities for interaction. I just didn't partake. |
| Placement Services | 4 | The school has not made an attempt to place me. This is probably my fault, as I have not approached them for their services. |
| Alumni Network | 6 | I'm not involved in the alumni network. I have received invitations, just have not joined. |
