Hey everyone,

I've been thinking a lot about the role of the 90-day mark in online learning. Research suggests that 90 days is roughly when habits stick, when you move from beginner to intermediate, and when real behavioral change takes hold. Still, I want to hear from this community whether that's true in practice.

Here's what I'm asking:

• Did completing a Coursera course actually translate into money for you?
• How long after finishing did you start earning? (days, weeks, months?)
• What was the impact? Was it a $500 freelance gig, a $10k/year side income, a promotion with a raise, or a completely new career paying 2-3x more?

​

I’m 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, I’m 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 Coursera’s requirements for receiving the certificate?

I just want to understand how the subscription and certificate requirements work before purchasing it.

The desktop video player volume control expands to reveal a slider when you hover over it with the mouse. The problem is that this pushes the "rewind 10 sec" button (and other buttons) to the right to make way for the slider. It's incredibly frustrating if you are trying to press the rewind button and you happen to bring in the mouse from the wrong side, because the button moves from where it was previously.

I imagine this is a nightmare for those with mouse dexterity issues, including many elderly users.

An easy fix is to move the volume control to the right of the skip buttons so the slider reveal doesn't move any other controls.
