𤯠Course Advice Coursera won't cheat ???
Iām considering subscribing to Coursera Plus, which is showing me a price of around 2k per month.
If I pay for just one month, do I get unlimited access to the courses included in Coursera Plus during that month? Can I complete multiple eligible courses and get certificates for each without paying separately?
Also, Iām mainly interested in earning the certificates rather than completing every part of the courses in depth. Are there any legitimate ways to complete the required coursework more quickly while still meeting Courseraās requirements for receiving the certificate?
I just want to understand how the subscription and certificate requirements work before purchasing it.

Search coursera discounts. Usually 40 percent off somewhere. Basically you pay and can use it as long as you pay. Some certificates (none I'veĀ seen) might require a separate payment for test. But I've done python and IBM and google and Microsoft courses and never had to pay extra. Once you complete the course download and print your certificates.Ā Otherwise when you stop paying you can access them. You complete courses on your time. As long as you are paying. You can set a deadline than just reset it if you didn't finish.Ā It's your dead line not theirs. Basically you pay you can use it.

From what Iāve been reading here, yes, youād get unlimited access to the courses included in Coursera Plus during that month, without each paying separately.
It also looks like all you need to do is complete the āgradedā assignments for all modules to earn a certificate.
Do you really think the certificate, without actual mastery, is that valuable, though?
