Cornell University Reviews 6

In the certificate there are multiple course one after another, each one given two weeks. It started out fine. The reading and video material actually corresponded with the assignments, so it was like learning things in an actual class. I felt like I was learning something, albeit it was very simple things. Then the assignments got harder but the reading materials, activities, and videos stayed the same amount of vague and barebones. Suddenly instead of following along a course to learn what I needed to finish assignments, you know like a REAL class, I was now spending hours searching online and watching other people's youtube videos on how to pass these assignments. The "teaching" material would literally show you like point A, and then assignment would show you point Z, and expect you to get through the entire alphabet all by yourself. The only way you could get through this is if you already knew everything being taught. Ridiculous waste of time and money . Complete scam, just teach yourself. Oh and don't get me started on the 'facilitators'. Copy pasted answers to everything. No actual feedback. You could replace them with toddlers and have a better experience.

Avoid the certificates from E Cornell. They have no value and costs a lot of money. No transferrable units, staff are rude with no empathy. Bait and switch programs made for profit only. No support from administration.

This university is full antisemitism . The professors their Support isis ! Stay away from this place.

Cornell University's Center for Regional and Economic Advancement is discriminatory, not allowing all counties in New York State to compete in the Grow-NY competition, several counties in the Mohawk Valley such as Schoharie County, NY and Otsego County, NY do not fit into their regional maps, according to their website. I applied for the 2022 Grow-NY competition in Otsego County, NY with my accelerated plant/plant seedlings grower invention based on past scientist N. Tesla theory, as I am seeking grants to start an organic sustainable Tesla Agriculture division, wanting to upgrade my several prototypes into sustainables utilizing sustainable bamboo and similar natural products instead of plastics and metals, unless recycled. In the competition notes, it says that entrants will be contacted, but I was never contacted, just received a generic letter that I was not a finalist. I am a minority female and feel horribly discriminated against on this issue. They allow me to have a 1/2-hour zoom meeting with the Grow-NY director.

I wish I could give this 0 stars. Program is terrible. I took the Data Analytics 360 Program. The information you are "taught" is information you learned in any high school or college statistics course. The very first course in this program teaches you what a maximum, minimum and average are. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure we all learned that in or around 5th grade. This program is shameful with how basic the information is and how expensive it is. Imagine spending over $1000 per course ($5400 for the Data Analytics 360 certificate) to learn what you already knew from 5th grade. Throughout the 5 course, it does get a little more challenge in that you learn about positive and negative regressions (something we all learn about in high school). Granted that high school is slightly more advanced than 5th grade, so props to eCornell for making the curriculum that much hard for its students. This certificate program is a complete cash grab. A couple <5 minute videos here, a 2-3 question quiz there (unlimited attempts until you get 100%), a few discussion posts and one fairly trivial project and that's the entire course. Oh and don't forget to make sure your grader is up to date on whatever topic you choose for your project. If you choose a topic they are not familiar with, they will "recommend staying away from jargon for these assignments - I, for one, don't know much about [insert topic]", even though all this "jargon" was clearly explained in the project. I guess they look at the graphs and tables, but not the actual words explaining the graphs and tables and why what is shown is correct. Four courses into the 5 course program and I received my first piece of feedback, so who knows if they actually grade anything in this program. At this point, I do not even want to keep this certificate as it felt like a waste of time and money. I would much rather get my $5400 back and be much happier knowing I never invested in such a waste of time and a waste of my minimal effort to get through this program. Absolutely shameful that Cornell would put there name on such an atrocious program. Do better Cornell.

I enrolled in the eCornell certificate program sponsored through Cornell University. The program was a 12 week certificate program that cost a little over $2,500. I successfully completed the course. However a year later I decided to go back to school and I inquired about getting official transcripts from eCornell to hopefully have the program evaluated for credit at my school. For six months I was told by the eCornell student accounts "help desk" that they sent official transcripts to my school and yet my school kept denying this. I then reached out to the representative who "enrolled and sold" the ecornell program and never heard back. I then see an email from someone at the "helpdesk" directed to my college basically stating that Certificate programs are for professional development, and not intended for academic credit. Although I am disappointed, this could have been told to me six months ago rather than lying and stating that the transcripts were sent on three occasions. The email tone was harsh and lacked any empathy. Basically I have a certificate from a program that means nothing to anyone. It is not recognized by any certification institute nor can you receive consideration for college credit. I feel mislead in the sales pitch and now I have to spend another $3k to take a leading change class on the exact same change leadership subject I completed at Cornell. In hindsight I should have known better. There was no way to contact any of the professors or exchange in discussions with other students, everything was automated and managed through canvas. I got caught up in the hype of taking classes with Cornell University brand behind the name.
