#12most of the courses on coursera are for uninitiated and have very shallow content (there are some rare exception). So if you like you can search for a good book or some video lecture from good university. like this is for statistical learning "https://online.stanford.edu/courses/sohs-ystatslearning-stat...

#13I recommend the meta-cognition course: Learning how to Learn.
https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn
The primary instructor, Dr. Barbara Oakley, wrote the book, _A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra)_ that isn't just about learning math.

#14I enjoyed taking Model Thinking: https://www.coursera.org/learn/model-thinking
It's designed to be a foundation course for subsequent social science classes, but I personally found the exposure to models from different fields of study to be quite insightful.
If you're interested, there's also a book by the professor on the same topic: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/39088592-the-model-th...

Broken link due to quote marks. Great suggestion otherwise.

#16Securing Digital Democracy https://www.coursera.org/learn/digital-democracy
I went through this not long after it was first offered following the 2012 elections, and it introduced me to the amazing world of security and human factors. There's more to secure systems design than just smart engineering. You have to give a lot of attention to people and priorities, and elections are a great place to see that in action.

#17The Science of Wellbeing[1] taught by Yale’s Dr. Laurie Santos lives up to the hype. It’s been discussed on HN a few times[2] which is how I stumbled upon it. If you don’t mind my asking, did your school give you access to coursera to earn credit while the campus is shut down? Or is it just something interesting and fun for students who might be inclined to learn something new while they’re stuck at home? Either way,…
NYU's Tandon School Engineering is doing the same with edX (since it is part of the organization), but students won't earn credits.

Agreed. I took Model Thinking years back, and it's probably the course that I most enjoyed (as in: just for it's own sake). I had no idea there was now also a book.

#19Cryptography I by Dan Boneh: https://www.coursera.org/learn/crypto
It's a great introduction to fundamental concepts. After you finish, I'd recommend reading this book he co-authored, which goes into more detail and covers more advanced concepts: https://toc.cryptobook.us/book.pdf

#20I personally found this to be a great one.

Having even passing familiarity with a way to think about helping people in crisis is extremely useful when you're in the moment.
