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?

    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!

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

    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.
