Udacity

Udacity has given me the skills and the confidence to become a competent developer. I am so impressed at the time it takes to learn way more than my college courses that has the same sixteen week time and experientially know the course work.  I really like Udacity'a style.

I took the Nanodegree Machine Learning course in 8 months, I started knowing very little about Python but in the end was able to put machine learning models into production. In addition I participated in several challenges in Kaggle.

The great difference of the course is the exercises that are corrected by highly qualified instructors.

In 2019, I fell in love with Udacity's nanodegrees. I applied for Deep Learning Nanodegree and Deep Reinforcement Learning Nanodegree and I basically learnt all what I needed to start my journey in these fields. I like the fact that you're learning by doing, udacity doesn't give you your certificates until you complete some projects. With this way, we can really practice the concepts; some of them theoretical, in real life projects.

I completed Machine Learning Nanodegree Program from Udacity in November 2018. I learned quite a lot about Machine Learning through lecture videos and projects. The lecture videos are well done and instructors as well as instruction videos convey knowledge effectively.

I recommend this program from Udacity for Intermidiate to Advanced knowledge level in Machine Learning.

Udacity came along in my career journey at a point when I was seeking out the channels to transform my career to digital marketing.

Digital Marketing Nanodegree from Udacity not only gave me hands on experience on various platforms to understand digital marketing in depth but also gave mentor and student community support. With industry experts and state of the art alliances on board, Udacity is one stop solution to in-demand industry skill sets enhancement.

Post the course completion , I secured a job as a Digital Marketing Manager , which marked an official career transition in my journey. Since then it's been unstoppable and I have experienced flavours of both B2B and B2C digital marketing.

Currently working as a Marketing Manager with a Multinationnal , I also aid Udacity students in transitioning their career path as a an independent reviewer and mentor. Looking at 2020, I see the year fulll of possibilities to transform my life with the skill sets I have learnt at Udacity.

I attended Computer Vision nano-degree program, and would like to share my experince with you.

I think that main pors for Udacity nanodegree and support that you can get from the mentor and student community, almost any question can be answered onine or on the personal call with mentor.

From the other side the big cons is significant overpricing of nanodegrees programms, the price student should pay for these programms is not justified

I completed the Nano degree program on Ml ,i am a working professional in a multinational bank,after this course I can say that the quality,standards and the subject delivery is as per industry demands.The best part is it is well structured suited to understand the subject step wise. The instructors led sessions helps to deep dive to understand the problems, their pace of delivering is quite good. Read less

I really like Udacity because not only I can make my own schedule, but I always receive good support from the Mentor available. No matter what my questions are about, they always help me.

However, I think the cherry on the cake really is the project. It's a real opportunity to apply what we see during the classroom.

I think the curriculum was excellent. The main instructor Alexis Cook is a brilliant teacher and describes the content extrmely well. However, same cannot be said of other instructors, especially those from the industry who taught DRL applications in finance were terrible. 

The projects were tougher than my previous Deep Learning Nanodegree and I learned a lot doing them. I got a pretty comprehensive view of DRL techniques through the three proijects. However, I feel there should have been one more project or at least an exercise on applying DRL on autonomous vehicles and Robotics to get a taste of that field.

Another suggestion is to make substantial changes in the projects in each cohort. As of now, many students simply search for project solutions posted by past students on Github and get a pretty good idea of the solution, and also use their code in bits and pieces at least (if not fully) without undergoing the rigorous experience the projects are aimed at providing.

Finally, I want to make a very important suggestion to Udacity guys. One key piece missing in Udacity is the final assessment. There should be a multiple choice exam on the pattern of AWS certifications that tests the concepts and how they were applied in projects and all the design choices that were made. This should be online, live, time bound, identity authenticated and should be required to get the credential. This, in my opinion, would greatly enhance the quality of graduates and of the Nanodegree program overall. AWS offers its certification credential on the basis of such exam and it is highly respected in the industry. This combined with the projects can increase a lot of respect for Udacity credential in the industry. Udacity may even consider having this exam in person in different test centers in countries through Vu Pearson's etc.
