I hope i'm not breaking any rules, i'm just seeking for validation

My idea is simple:

A study buddy powered by your teacher's knowledge! This AI-powered platform lets mentors create chatbots trained on their videos, documents, and even YouTube channels. Students get personalized help, anytime, anywhere! Mentors can offer these chatbots for free on chat platforms, freeing up their time and reducing repetitive questions.

The chatbot can be like the mentor it self, in terms of knowledge, and Tone!

And also it can provide some challenges, and quizzes for the students to improve their learning process.

How to monetize it?

Users who learned the course will pay a subscription to access the trained chatbot, and mentors who refer their students to use the chatbot in the platform will get 10% from each student subscriber

Or, mentors can pay a special subscription to provide the chatbot for free for their students in Discord or Telegram or Slack so they can help their students and get rid of receiving multiple questions from their students.

What do you think?

Does this solve a real problem for students and teachers?

Are there any features you think would be crucial?

Any potential downsides I might be missing?

I'd love to hear your feedback as I develop this idea further. Thanks, and happy learning!

Slight rant: the Bertelsmann scholarship for the nanodegree was literal bologna

I finished the entirety of the course in maybe 30 minutes, 100%. All stuff I already know.

Get to the final, finish it in 3 minutes both times, 100% it. The final doesn’t work the first time. Final wasn’t based on anything whatsoever from the courses, was literally random brain teasers and some high school algebra.

All for them to tell me I wasn’t accepted? At least I didn’t have to exert myself

That was easily the most annoying sequence of events from an educational institution I’ve ever experienced

Hello All,

Everyone ready for the final test tomorrow?

Has anyone noticed the service quality going down significantly for the past several years? There's been more and more technical issues, like error when submitting a project or files that get reset among other things. I also kept getting mentors that are impatient, unhelpful, and just super rude. It didn't use to be like this.

Also the quality of the course is also going downhill, like failure to mention prerequisites before student joining a course. I get that these prerequisites are free but when you fail to mention them, it will add to the time of completion. The course subjects can also be quite sporadic, all over the place.

I'm not sure why this is the case with Udacity, but it made me look elsewhere. Some places are just better quality overall, provide more value and available on mobile.

I know it says about 3 months, but I’m looking to get through it in a month. Approximately how many hours total is the course so I can prep?

I have started the program and have reached their Object Oriented Programming section. Would love to have a study buddy as it makes it more fun to do the course with.

​

Anyone willing to join?

Hello,

I'm new to the world of Nanodegrees, and I have a few questions:

1. Does the payment cover a specific period where I can take as many courses as I want, or is it dedicated to a single course?
2. If the payment is for one course, is it a one-time fee or a monthly payment until the course ends? If I don't finish the course, what happens?

I would be very grateful to anyone who could answer these questions!

Is doing "AI programming with Python - Nano degree" worth it?

I am an intermediate learner of AI/ML and familiar with Python programming. Currently, looking for a job in ML field. So, I am just ensuring so that I don't waste my time doing it.

Another thing is most of the people doing well in the ML field suggest doing "Coursera" courses like "DL specialization". What is the difference between doing a Udacity nanodegree and a Coursera specialization? I mean, what are the advantages and disadvantages of both cases?

​

They told me I got Agile SWD, but as of today I got an email saying I'm in the AI Python Programming track--Not complaining but... what? lol

Has this happened to anyone else ?

It doesn't look like it's the challenge course either, it looks like it's just straight up the nanodegree program and is labeled as such.

Anybody hear back from Udacity regarding this opportunity? It’s the 11th and they stated they’d get back to people no later than today in regards to acceptance

Probably didn’t get picked that means lol, either that or I’m somehow jumping the gun. Figured I’d post here though in case anyone else has heard or has had an experience with these scholarships

AWS vs Udacity certifications...which one is best to take, I'm trying to compare their value?

​

Is there any method to get Udacity nanodegrees courses for free.

From what I've read on other subreddits Udacimak seem like an option but I do not know how safe that is.

And something else that I've read is to subscribe and copy the links for the lessons in which you are interested as they are unlisted youtube videos, and after that ask for a refund as you have one week to withdraw, but I am not sure if it will work.

There would also be a third more hones method: you could claim a personalized offer up to 75%. The problem with this is that I do not know what combination of answers I should give because until now I've only got 40% off

What do you think? Should I use any of these two methods or do you know others

Hello,
I'm new, and I've just found out about Udacity. I found a course which I really want to learn from. The duration is 5 months, but can I complete it in 1? I mean I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on it every month, I just want to buy 1 month and complete it, and then when I have free time to learn the course deeply.

Did anyone faced problem when one of Projects Workspace did not load? I tried different browsers, but still same problem. I must note that other projects workspaces loaded without problem

Hello,

I have experience with Java and Spring Boot and I was thinking to take this course to improve my skills.

What is your experience with it? Is it worth it?

Has anyone taken this specialization/nanodegree? If so, how was it? Did you segue into the Self-Driving car Nanodegree or the Robotics Software Engineer Nanodegree afterwards?

I’m thinking of doing the ethical hacker nano degree. Is Udacity a good platform to learn from? and if so do people who've done the program recommend this degree to beginner-amateur programmers?

Hi guys, I work as a data scientist but haven't really been progressing in my career since the last 2-3 years. I struggle with the math/stats part of DS buy enjoy the building, coding part of it. I'm thinking of switching to Data Engineering and Udacity's DE with AWS looks promising. I don't have basic SQL knowledge, intermediate pythonbut don't have any server less or big data knowledge.

Anyone has experience about Udacitys DE with AWS? I can dedicate upto 10 - 15 hours and im wondering if Udacity's AWS is a decent option? Would it help me train for an AWS certification?

Please and thank you!

Hello folks,

I have just started my journey with AWS MLE Nanodegree from Udacity I am thinking if anyone is currently going through it, we can study together online and have the discipline to complete the Nanodegree on time.

Any learners here?

​

My Goal is to transition into data analysis for which I have dedicated 1-2 months learning SQL. Resources that I will be using will be among either of these two courses. I am confused between the two

https://www.learnvern.com/course/sql-for-data-analysis-tutorial

https://codebasics.io/courses/sql-beginner-to-advanced-for-data-professionals

​

The former is more sort of an academic course that you would expect in a college whereas other is more practical sort of. For those working in the Data domain specially data analyst please suggest which one is closer to everyday work you do at your job and it would be great if you could point out specific section from the courses that can be done especially from the former one as it is a bigger one 25+hr so that best of both the world could be experienced instead studying both individually

Thanks.

There's been an open issue with the workspace notebooks not loading correctly in the C++ Nanodegree for TWO WEEKS now and a ticket has been with Support for that amount of time and NOTHING has been fixed. They just keep saying "it's work R&D" or whatever. Total garbage.

For example. For the Python AI nanodegree, Project 2 "Image Classifier" all of a sudden says "Here you will use torchvision [link to docs]" with no explanation whatsoever leading up to this point, and no explanation following. What. The. Hell.

Are you expected at this point to just read the entire Torchvision docs and absorb it on your own, like Neo downloading it into his brain? Is that considered "teaching"?

But seriously. How in the hell are people finishing these projects? Are they just copying what other people have done on Github?

In their call it is mentioned that recipients can expect to be notified in march 20.

Hello, I wiuld like to know if DAND is worth it, I heard that the version of it is bad compares to the previous one

If someone tried it recenetly I would like to hear you opinion about it
