TOP REVIEWS FROM REACT BASICS

by RSOct 12, 2022

My only concern is the lecturer in this course. Most of the time, I got the impression that he was just talking like a robot with no teaching skills. instead, the course content is excellent.

by NNDec 27, 2022

This course was very beneficial. However, I would have liked to see a more challenging project to showcase everything we learned.

by YYDec 1, 2022

What A Wonderfull Course! I recommend that all beginner react learners take this course. Lastly, thanks for meta to organize this resourceful course.

by FMJan 31, 2023

that's a great course full of information! the missing star is because the labs are very easy and instructions answers the lab so that you can finish the lab even when you don't understand anything!

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
