Has anyone used Coursera at all? There is a 9 course program with a capstone project and certification in Data Science through Johns Hopkins University that I was looking at. Each course is 4 weeks long so it would take roughly 9 months to complete. Something to supplement my current role at work and it's a lot cheaper (only $423) and easier to complete (no travel, don't have to enroll in a physical school) than others that I've seen. For example, a SAS certification in Data Science is a 12 week boot camp in Cary, NC for $16,000.. I don't think that would fly with work or home! I would pay for these on my own and just add the certification to my goals/review for my director. Our reviews aren't completed until April, so the 9 months would be feasible. For background info, I have a BA in Mathematics, MA in Economics and my current role is Advanced Analytics Modeler II on track to become a Data Scientist. Has anyone tried these- liked/disliked? Thoughts?
