What does the learner journey at Udacity look like?
The learning journey will be 7 months and self-guided with 4-6 hours of learning per week. Students can learn in their own time, and there are no specific class hours when they need to be online (unless they wish to participate in the optional live project walkthroughs). Throughout the entire learning journey, students will have access to an online community platform, where they will be able to ask tutors and other employee-students for support to help them through any learning difficulties! Students will also have two live “webinars” for each project, where a Udacity tutor, who is a content expert, offers a project walkthrough and unblocks any questions learners may have.
How do students retain their seat in the program?
Learners should make sure to follow the program schedule presented in the classroom and they will
be on track to graduate from the Nanodegree Program on time. However, if students do not make
sufficient progressin the beginning of the progrom, they risk being removed from the program. The criteria they must meet in order to avoid being revoked include submitting the first
project or viewing 25% of the concepts.
Will students have access to the Udacity Nanodegree material after finishing it successfully?
Yes, students will have indefinite static access to the content after graduating the Nanodegree. Static access will include classroom content that will not be updated over time. Such access will not include access to projects that were not previously submitted, as well as certain services, such as community channels, project reviews, workspaces, labs, or quizzes. Also, please note that learners will lose access to the content if they fail to finish within the Nanodegrees final deadline.
Do students get a certificate when studying with Udacity?
Upon completion of the Nanodegree program, graduates receive an official certificate directly from Udacity. After the students have successfully completed their projects, their identity will be verified with a third-party provider, and students may be asked for a final interview. Once this procedure has been completed, the certificate can be viewed, printed and forwarded via the Udacity account.
