I recommend an audiobook course from Audible called The Philosophers Toolkit: How to be the most rational person in any room by The Great Courses https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Philosophers-Toolkit-How-to-B... It teaches you mental models on how to think and find a solution to a problem. It explains the concepts behind each model quite well. Topics include how to determine a valid argument, an iron clad argument, usi…
I probably won't have time to sit through it, but I've taken a course from this instructor in the past and he is pretty good. I'm really curious to know how he explains coding and engineering principles to "managers, designers and entrepreneurs".
I really enjoyed the course on the Science of Exercise - https://www.coursera.org/learn/science-exercise . I always wondered if there was a comprehensive way to understand how different fitness regimes and diets actually help or don't help. This course was amazing and helped my understand the fundamentals. A bit technical - goes into the basics of biology, but even without that information, this was a great course. T…
Not sure if I'll follow through on this but this was a great recommendation as I had no clue of its existence. Thank you very much for taking the time to recommend this and exercise science is a budding interest for me.
I 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...
+1. One of the best courses I took in Coursera, especially because my background is in Engineering, not Social Sciences.

Is there a plan to get more advanced courses? I'm asking because there seems to be an extreme bias towards beginners courses, or content that is rather limited in breadth and depth compared to what a university might teach during a full masters degree. ie, there's about 50 security intro courses (with lots of overlap of course), one "advanced" course that's been delayed for long and isn't all that advanced (Crypto II…
If you want classes that are more advanced or that go into greater depth, I recommend the courses offered by edX or Stanford-online or MIT OpenCourseware. These are full-term for-credit courses with video lectures at top schools that you can 'audit' for free, though few or none will grade your homework or projects unless you pay full tuition. By contrast, 95% of Coursera or Udemy courses are much shorter and more introductory.

University of Pennsylvania has an amazing course on single variable calculus. Don't let the idea of doing 'basic' calculus turn you away as it is an incredibly tough course. The reason it can be so challenging and the reason I find it so incredible is that it teaches Calculus through the lenses of Taylor Series. Very different to other Calculus courses and as someone who hated my first year university maths course it…
I strongly recommend Robert Ghrist's other courses as well, they're fantastic. * Multivariable calculus (a linear algebra based approach, and a very nice intro to differential forms) * Applied dynamical systems (ongoing, started recently) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5N5pRddyicAX1QJyJjIIdg
Let me recommend you an udacity course instead. This is hands down the best course I've ever taken in my life: AI for Trading https://www.udacity.com/course/ai-for-trading--nd880 Includes an introduction to finance/markets, and goes into strategies, multi-factor models, and deep learning. Great projects too!
I've taken it but I wouldn't recommend it - it was pretty shallow. That guy used to have a more complete version of the course on Coursera. I believe that it became a specialization.
That was my fear. Looks like an OK course but I'd expect some pretty outstanding quality for $400 a month! That's crazy pricing (more than an ivy league credit hour am I right?).
> bioinformatics The Honors Track of the UCSD series is really great. https://www.coursera.org/specializations/bioinformatics It's super hard and as a side effect you learn a ton about very interesting, amazing, and useful algorithms that you'd never even hear about in a top notch CS program.
Surprised this is buried so deep. These courses are excellent.
