Basic Mandarin Chinese ā€“ Level 1 - Mandarin

L
Leena Patel
5.0 29/05/2019
About the course: The courses I was searching for were accredited and free. While this is more expensive in comparison to the other courses in order to upgrade, I find the fee fair. At some point I would like to consider working towards the HSk exams. However, in the interim I found Edx courses on Mandarin. I looked into all 3 levels and have found their curriculum to be sound and appropriate. I started the level one, and in the interim, have been offered support - which I found professional and very reassuring. If anyone is looking at accredited courses in Mandarin - this has to be the one. Additionally, I am hoping they will also do 3 level courses for Korean and Japanese.

Introduction to Linux - Linux Foundation

D
David Neary
5.0 01/12/2017
What I would highlight: I enlisted in this course having some awareness of Linux yet very little. In the same way as other others I had high trusts in this course. In the wake of experiencing the initial couple of sections I understood this course was exceptionally basic and practically superfluous. The main reviewed work in the entire MOOC is the 30 question, end of the year test. After the fourth "part" I chose to simply skip to the exam since I couldn't stand the course. I passed rather effectively notwithstanding not knowing anything about Linux servers or bash scripting. Moreover given that the confirmed endorsement is $250, it creates the impression that this course is more about profiting than truly instructing individuals. I am to some degree frustrated in edX for offering it given their ordinary standard for a course.

What I would highlight: A testing, nicely conveyed course that expect a strong learning of HTML and javascript, to give an extensive diagram of jQuery, and a working comprehension of key ideas like DOM control, nonconcurrent operation, and Ajax.

What I would highlight: This Part bargains predominately with the eighteenth and nineteenth century when the world was changing quickly through industrialization, innovative progressions and quickly propelling military desires. It turns out to be all the more obvious that this course truly needs to skim the surface which it does well yet sadly a lot more could be said and instructed in regards to this period that it appears to be deficient to address such a large number of key occasions in China's history so delicately.
