I had the chance to try courses for
I had the chance to try courses for free but I still hate them. The lack of communication between the course creators and course takes is horrid. A lot of the courses are extremely outdated (5 years old or more), the programs recommended/shown to use don’t look the same. The peer-graded assignments are a freaking joke, a waste of time. There is no real way to learn anything if other people just leave max points and almost no comments.If I had paid for any of the courses I would be pissed off. This is not worth any money, even for free this isn’t wort it. Bad, bad, bad…
They will find any excuse to charge you upfront
I’ve subscribed to a course with a 7-day Free Trial and cancelled it immediately (literally 1 minute after subscribing) when I realized it was not for me. They charged me nevertheless for the first month. The customer service argued that I had cancelled the same course 3 years before! That sounds ridiculous to me, how could I possibly remember that??! btw the previous cancellation they are talking about does not even show up anywhere in my account.I used to have a good opinion of Coursera but after this one they will never see me again.
I wish I had read these reviews prior
I wish I had read these reviews prior to purchasing. I did a course that was supposed to last 4 weeks and I completed in about 2 weeks. So I thought I would spend 2 weeks on another course, which I found very repetitive to the other course so cancelled, only to be charged and that it was not refundable. THIS IS NOT CHEAP and a complete waste of money!!
Coursera.org is a fraude
This rating is because i have enrolled
This rating is because i have enrolled few courses but im not able to complete.. but this site collects debit or credit card information at the start..for enrolling and viewing the course within 7 days one need to de-enroll otherwise one will be charged without consent.. it happend couple of times.. there is no audit option and pay once you feel confident of completion.. This like cheating..

Great Customer Support!
Great Customer Support!I subscribed for two courses at the same time throughout a 6 month period. I didn’t know that this would lead to two payments per month. I contacted coursera and the next day they replied and very generously refunded me for one of my subscriptions for the whole 6-month duration.
