什麼是Coursera?
Coursera 跟 edX 都是一個開放線上課程 (MOOC) 的平台,有超過 1900 所大學或機構在 Coursera 提供免費或付費的線上課程。學生可以選擇免費觀看課程,或付 $30-100 參與隋棠答題,交作業,及考試,通過了就可以獲得結業證書,證明學生有完成這堂課並獲得及格的成績。
Coursera 的課程的含金量有多高?
Coursera 的大學課程比類似 Johns Hopkins 的 CTY 及 Columbia Summer School Program 這種大學的實體暑期課價值還高很多,原因我們之前在另一篇文章 “5 種課程,讓高中生從眾多申請表中脫穎而出的秘訣!” 有分享過,CTY 跟 SSP 這種是高中難度的課,價值並不高,程度只有達到五個等級中的第二等級 ,而 Coursera 的課程則是達到第三等級。學生可以複習一下那篇的內容:
要如何上這些課程並免費獲得上課證書?

coursera 的證書對申請大學有幫助嗎
非常好的問題!!我們這篇文章有講到coursera的課程跟其他網課的比較:https://blog.ivy-way.com/5-classes-for-high-school-students-to-stand-out-in-their-applications/
“證書對申請大學有幫助嗎” 不單純是yes或no的問題,是有不同等級的好:
0. 不上課、暑假在家耍廢不好。
1. 上Coursera的課可以學到知識,比不上課好。
2. 拿Coursera的證書可以證明有學到知識,但沒證書也是可以學到知識,所以可能比1好一點點,但不會好太多。
3. 上面連結裡 Level 4-5 的課比Coursera難,Level 4-5 的課更好。
希望學生能利用Coursera(不管有沒有證書)學基本知識之後往 Level 4-5 的課程去進修,那些更有幫助喔!^^
