This program is one of most ineffective learning experiences I’ve ever had. As a long-time educator and curriculum developer, I’ve reached the conclusion that there had been little to no thought towards healthy pedagogy or scope and sequence. Many of... Read More the materials such as video tutorials are years-back outdated and, so, students run into multiple errors trying to figure them out. There is virtually no consistent support other than reaching out to other peers all the time. Limited learning. Do NOT fall for the name! Not worth it!

I am 12-weeks into this program and so far it has been a great learning experience. We just finished the front-end development part of the course and I feel confident about my HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills. This course is a good fit for those who can... Read More be persistent and diligent in doing the needed work every week. I found it challenging to keep myself accountable to go through weekly videos and assignments but after putting the hours the result is worth all the effort. There are no live classes, but we get all the support needed from weekly office hours to get our questions answered.

The MERN Full Stack Development course offered by MIT xPro is a great introductory into the world of full stack development and provides an opportunity for students to build a foundation of knowledge in web development that's directly applicable to today's... Read More workforce. The course starts with HTML, CSS and JavaScript and the basic principles of how web applications are run, and eases into more difficult concepts like security, ES6 and the ReactJS framework, making it good for beginners and developers alike. Being in the industry, this course is great to be a part of. On a daily basis I apply what I've learned in this course to my professional work and have seen a difference in the quality of code I produce. I recommend this course to my colleagues and thoroughly enjoy each module that's released.
