I am thinking of paying for one of them to learn Hadoop/Spark, I don’t care about the certification, just hoping that the grade assignments could help me learn. Do you guys recommend that or should I just try to learn it myself?
OP are you thinking about the big data engineering specialization by Yandex?
I am debating that or another similar one from UCSD.
UCSD is watered down. imo
I paid for one, but I STILL didn’t do it. If you’re like me at all, a small fee won’t motivate you.
👍 yes
I would go after the Stanford or MIT courses instead.
U get courses by stanford people in coursera too. Not always stanford or mit courses r the best.
U can postpone courses in coursera too. I have done a few. So i mean u need to be ur own motivator.
No. No one ever cares about any certificates or online diplomas. I attended a few courses when coursera was free and found the courses to be beginner level (data science track)
I’d disagree. There’s Specializations that will change your career
We worked hard with the assessments in our platform to be an essential part of the learning process so I hope you go for it and it’s helpful! We even employ a pedagogy team to work with our professors to make sure it’s vital to the learning (hence why it’s also part of the premium version because you want to be with other learners who are just as dedicated and not going through the motions of a free online course just for videos and not super committed to homework/quizzes/grading). Good luck!
The specialization is worthless as a credential bc it hasn’t been branded or recognized by anyone formally. If you want to do it to just learn and to help yourself, it’s great!

Whatever gets you to stick to it. If that means Coursera, do it.
