coursera 学习 助学金申请

学校没有开学,作为大四党,目前呆在家里也没有学校的网课可以学,除了努力找工作,还有就是继续学习技能,上个月看到密歇根大学在微博上发的对中国学生提供每月6人民币的课程优惠价,所以第一次尝试了Coursera,之前除了在中国大学MOOC学习,国外的慕课也只接触过优达学城,但是我的体验并不好,一方面是访问速度,一方面是课程价格,学习一下免费的课程也还可以,比如谷歌的几个,但是已经很久没用了也就不做评价了。
密歇根大学微博,订阅需要注意准备一张Visa、MasterCard卡组织的信用卡或借记卡,Discover、JCB 、American Express卡组织的信用卡,还需要注意的是Coursera的视频是存在亚马逊云的所以国内访问会有问题,网上看到的改hosts并没有什么用,我直接挂代理了,而且系统代理+pac没有用,最好直接用SwitchyOmega插件创建一个全局代理的情景模式。我使用了交行的大学生卡Visa银联双标。扣款账单抵达当天交行会打电话核对是否是本人交易。

订阅了 密歇根大学 的 Python 3 Programming之后,因为正在学习游戏开发又看上了 科罗拉多大学系统 的 C# Programming for Unity Game Development,但是一个月50美元的费用对我来说还是太贵,于是申请了助学金,几乎所以课程都有助学金,需要注意的是现在申请助学金需要15天的审核期,在这期间不能免费试用,否则会撤回申请。

几乎所有课程都有助学金。

下面是我的申请信,两段内容分别说明个人状况和学习这门课程的原因。不过看到网上有人说内容并不重要,我还是真诚一些把实际情况写了出来。

I am a college student at xxxx University which located in Amoy, China.My major is computer science. I ’m from Gansu Province, China ’s least developed province. (家庭经济状况)Since I don't want to put more burden on my family, I request Coursera for financial aid, and I promise to finish the course. These days are my first contact with Coursera because I saw course discounts offered by the University of Michigan for Chinese students on social media before I tried Coursera.I really like Coursera ,and I think Coursera is a very good platform for people to learn something they need, I hope I can learn something by studying in Coursera. I hope you can agree to my application.

I have always wanted to work in game development. I found this course when I was searching for a new course on the homepage and I am studying Unity game development.But my school doesn't offer game design courses. Graduating a year later, I am anxious about finding a job. There are many game companies in China that use the Unity engine. In this course, I hope to learn how to use Unity for game development and C# programming. I am a complete rookie on Unity and C # now. I hope to gain experience in unity game development through this course. So that I can get a chance to get an internship in a game company.I have encountered difficulties in studying Unity now, and I hope this course will help me. I will learn c# programming and unity,Object-Oriented Programming for Unity Games and Data Structures and Design Patterns for Game Developers.

申请获批后会收到一封邮件,可以开始学习了。

下面是学习体验,密歇根的python课评审是基于密大自己的平台评分的,全部自动,因为会python学的有点散漫,前几周的课程基本上选择直接做课外内容和评分作业,第一个互动作业是用turtle库绘制复杂图像,我画了斐波纳切数列的图片,但是不知道为什么密大的平台提交图片一直是500错误,所以也没体验到什么互动。

科罗拉多大学的c#游戏开发是用Coursera自己的平台评分的,每周课程都有互评作业,可以看到别人给自己的打分和评语,让我想起在中国大学MOOC上学摄影时的体验了,不过Coursera的体验更好,第二周课程一个外国人还用中文发了评语😂。

这次互评作业还发现一个复制别人作业的,因为他复制到我头上了,抄代码也就算了,更过分的是他直接复制了我的运行效果截图,一眼就发现了,为了确认是不是系统缓存问题刷了几次再次刷到那篇作业,确认是抄袭就向Coursera报告了抄袭案例。
这是处理完毕的邮件回复。
