My Latest Coursera Accomplishments.

So far I have accomplished 2 Coursera courses, and even though I already forgotten most of what I have learnt, I am proud of it :D

The first one is "Arch Of titus: Rome and the Menorah" from Yeshiva University. I often failed the last assignment of this course, that's why I have been participating in this course for over 6 months or even more....., and finally I got my grade:

The second one is Ancient Egypt and Its Civilization. This one is a recent one:

I can finish this so fast :p. I finished it 2 weeks before the deadline. I think it's because I learned a lot about Ancient Egypt when I was younger, the new ones are the only hard ones for me. 

I really love both of these courses, and I hope the informations that I received could be used for future uses!

My Recent Coursera Accomplishments

I completed several courses on history and one in paleontology. Their deadlines were so close together, I had to rush to finish them!

 This is my accomplishment for the course The Holocaust-An Introduction (I): Nazi Germany: Ideology, The Jews and the World.

My accomplishment for the course The Holocaust-An Introduction (II): The Final Solution.

I'm now really interested with modern history, especially WW2, so, as this course explores the details into it, I find this really interesting.

My accomplishment from Paleontology: Early Vertebrate Evolution

I've always loved paleontology since I was young, so I found this course interesting too! Only the biology level is much harder than my ability. I reviewed the lessons and combed Wikipedia and Google to solve this hard biology :D. 

My 8th and 9th Certificate From Coursera

These are my 8th and 9th certificates from MOOC courses. The courses are "Code Yourself! An Introduction to Programming" and "Introduction to Philosophy".

Although for the Code Yourself course, my father said that 40% goes to him, because he assisted me a lot. :p

I highly recommend these courses for anyone who thinks greatly, complicatingly and heavily.

My First edX certificate

edX is an online course, a MOOC, just like Coursera. I previously joined some edX courses, but I forgot them with my busy school schedule and eventually the deadlines had passed. This is my first course which I passed after I am homeschooled, called "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. Taught by Ms. Maggie Sokolik who made something like a book club there, which discuss many types of Classical books (famous stories which were written a pretty long time ago and had been retold again, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn). Each book is discussed once in a month, and this last December, we discussed about "A Christmas Carol".  Here is my certificate:

My mom screenshoted it, as my printer ran out of ink. The course was really fun. There were many to discuss about, and I found some points which I missed whithout really paying attention. It was a great course, willing to take another one from this!

Learning in Coursera

From my previous writings about my Coursera certificates, you might wonder about the beginning of  my learning in Coursera. I first knew Coursera from my Mom, and my Mom knew it from one of her friend, who is a science teacher in a school called German School. Coursera is an online course where you can learn anything that your heart desires. When I and my Mom explored the courses in Coursera, we found a course called Archaeology's Dirty Little Secrets. I was pretty interested in it, especially when I love history ( at that time I love history, but now I love astronomy too!). So I enrolled in the course, the course was very fun!  That caused me to like Coursera so I enrolled in more courses that I was interested in, mostly about writing, music, and archaeology.

Why do I like Coursera? It's because Coursera offers so many courses that I like. In Coursera, there are two options in some courses of how to take the course. First option is free course, the other one is to take the course with paying. If you pay, the course is still the same only they guarantee that your certificate ( if you pass ) is traceable in their data base . It is called verified certificate, but you must be  at least thirteen years old, for child safety. I was 9 yo last year when I first joined,  so I couldn't join the verified one. I have to wait for several years more.
Now back to me. After the archaeology course, I joined Dino 101, but I failed to get the certificate (I got 77.9 % from a minimum of 80%). It was my fault because that day I joined too many courses at once. So I rejoined it, because I'm interested in dinosaurs too! After I rejoined, I earned 96.7%.

Then, I see more courses and put more and more courses into my watchlist. The watchlist is for the courses that we would like to join next time. After that I joined writing course called Crafting an Effective Writer, Tools of the Traits ( Fundamental English Writing ). I earned 87.6% because my English grammar is not too good.

Because I love music, I joined this course called Exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas. The course was still too hard for me, like comparing one Beethoven's sonata to another, what's the difference, that's still too hard for me. So I made maybe two or three mistakes in the quiz of five questions, so I thought I will not get a statement of accomplishment, but I got it! I earned 76.6%. Lucky me.

What is the difference between learning in a school and in Coursera? Absolutely is the freedom! You are free to choose the subject that you are interested and free to manage yourself in the learning process in Coursera. The school is the opposite, because they have fixed subjects and fixed schedule, that maybe don't fit you.

After for a while, I found a course called The Art and Archaeology of Ancient Nubia  It's about archaeology, I joined it, I nearly got 100%, because in almost all of the quizzes I got all correct answers except a quiz that I carelessly answer, so I earned 98.8% with distinction. It is the highest point among all of the four courses that I'd attended.
In my last writing, I showed all of the certificates that I got, but not the Nubia certificate yet.
So here's my certificate:

It looks a bit short because I cropped it.
I hope all of you will enjoy learning in Coursera too. The lessons vary from politics to mathematics. You can share your certificates that you earned with me. Learn well, work hard, then you will achieve something that make you proud either now or in the future.

My Fourth Coursera Certificate

I got my fourth Coursera certificate! Yay! It's about dinosaurs! I joined this course last year but I failed to get the certificate. And this year, I got it! And I earned 96.7%. It's the highest point that I got among the four certificates that I got. Here's the picture of my certificate:

My 3rd Coursera Certificate

I earned another certificate from Coursera. The course is about exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas. The teacher was Jonathan Biss, from Curtis Institute of Music. The course is quite difficult for me. I don't really understand all of them. I think it will be useful for my music lesson later when I'm taking a deeper lesson about Beethoven's sonatas. But the course itself was wonderful. I thought I will not get the Statement Of Accomplishment because I made many mistakes in the tests, as I remember the score of one of my test is 3.00 out of 5.00. But I got it and I feel very surprised. I earned 76.6%.  Thanks to the course, they said that if we want to achieve a Statement Of Accomplishment we should at least earn 30 points from 50 points (It's exactly like 3.00 out of 5.00). Here's the picture of my Statement Of Accomplishment:

My First Piano Masterclass

This is my first piano masterclass certificate.

My First Coursera Certificate

Coursera is a kind of online course, all free, but if you want the certificate for credit to use in the University that you will attend, you may join the signature track certificate ( pay some money ).

My first course was Archaeology's Dirty Little Secret, which explains about archaeology. And this is my certificate :

My Professor is Professor Sue Alcock. She's very funny and interesting. She explained very well. One day I would like to be like her.It's a SO FANTASTIC course!
