Much of the onus seems to be on the MIT professors teaching the course. They just slapped this stuff together and their videos are unfocused and rambling. There are helpful Emeritus staff and the office hours are ok but overall this has been a really, really bad experience. MIT should be ashamed of having their brand associated with this course. On top of that, they only offer refunds in the first 2 or 3 weeks after the course starts-- it's a 32 week long program. Going to file a complaint about this. Every time I see a FB ad I will leave this review.Erin Rosenblatt of MIT xPRO | Bootcamps

This program is highly professional and organized. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with the program so far. I'm looking forward to my time left prior to graduation. All of the staff and faculty are very nice and helpful. If you're looking to get into Web Development, I would highly recommend this program! - IvyStudent • Professional Certificate in Coding: Full Stack Development with MERN • OnlineJun 17, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Good place to start
Coming from customer service and retail, I had my try at self learning from other free online materials. This bootcamp has been a good stepping stone into learning software development. Difficulty may depend on personal interests and learning style but overall not too difficult that you can't make it. Instructors are there to help and class size is great for networking. Overall, glad I chose this bootcamp over my other choices. - JoshStudent • Professional Certificate in Coding: Full Stack Development with MERN • OnlineJun 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I choose this bootcamp for the name recognition of MIT, the broad coverage of the curriculum content, and the reasonable price tag. I could hardly be happier. The content is current, organized effectively, and the lessons are structured in such a way that you you don’t spend the whole time doing a ‘code-along’, but instead understand the problems you are solving as new technologies are introduced.

I could hardly be happier. The content is current, organized effectively, and the lessons are structured in such a way that you you don’t spend the whole time doing a ‘code-along’, but instead understand the problems you are solving as new technologies are introduced.
Before this course, I tried to learn the cornerstone web technologies, HTML/CSS/JS independently and struggled to really comprehend web development. Im the first two weeks this course taught me how to use these technologies in concert to finally get everything necessary for this cornerstone of foundational knowledge.
I find my fellow students to be extremely engaging in slack/discord chats to work through problems and help troubleshoot when there is an issue for the individual learner. However, the program support and learning facilitators are on top of their game and give comprehensive answers to student question, including why the challenges presented are constructed the way they are. Speaking of the learning facilitators, I responded to one of the weekly surveys expressing my discouragement that I didn’t feel as if a particular week gave me enough to work on as I finished the content extremely quickly. Assuming the surveys were being skimmed for data and not actually read, I thought that maybe the issue I brought up would be ignored. However, I received a direct message from one of the learning facilitators who offered me additional material and supplementary things to study. He even ended up offering me quite a bit of guidance/feedback on a project I put together to help reinforce the concepts I learned in the class. The only downside I’m experiencing is that the program is not self paced and is targeted to those not trying to study full time, ideally working a full-time job concurrently with the course. However, the 32-weeks of steady pacing in the course helps to reinforce the concepts without progressing before comprehension is achieved. - Robert KonigsbergFormer management consultant • Student • Professional Certificate in Coding: Full Stack Development with MERN • OnlineApr 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
