Great teaching staff, program management, administrative and support. Opening up to new skills resources and references to gain knowledge and skills. Supported staff and friendly learning environment. Classes fits your workload schedule. Projects prepare... Read More you for your next job

Very good course. Gained good knowledge. The course was very informative . The curriculum is good, recording lectures are good and quizzes are very useful. Weekend sessions were good . Program coordinators have been very supportive. Online material is... Read More very self explanatory. Overall I strongly recommend this course

I think the pros of the program are that it gives you a good grounding in the fundamentals of data science and the use of Python in various data science approaches and analytical techniques. Some of the professors and mentors are very good at explaining... Read More concepts and then providing practical examples to illustrate those concepts. I would say that not every professor is as capable at instruction; some are a bit rushed in how they explain and illustrate ideas, which can be challenging especially when you are new to this space. The math aspects of the course were more difficult than I was expecting. I would like to see more video modules in some weeks (the ones that are optional to watch) that go through a notebook example of a concept they are explaining that week, as I found that helpful in reinforcing it.

I spent 6 weeks in the Product Management Bootcamp provided through UT and Edx. And every week my time was spent sending corrections and feedback for sloppy course materials, incorrect answers in quizzes, and discrepancies in the assignments that would... Read More have wasted hours. It was so poorly managed and I was not getting enough value out of it for the time and cost that I was putting in. I regularly and consistently submitted feedback for things that should have been easy to fix, but saw no improvement. They recognized they were at fault and refunded me but it was still a waste of time.

The Data Science and Business Analytics program offered by UT Austin and Great Learning is a comprehensive and highly regarded program. It combines the expertise of a prestigious university with practical industry-focused training. The curriculum covers... Read More a wide range of data science topics, including machine learning, data analysis, and business analytics, making it suitable for individuals looking to enter or advance in the field. The program's collaborative nature and real-world projects provide valuable hands-on experience. Overall, it's a strong choice for those seeking a solid foundation in data science and analytics.

I learned a lot of how to do coding which I am really familiar with from my youth days. Unfortunately, I never landed a job with tech companies which I applied for after graduation. Please don't waste your money on this non-sense course. Do yourself a... Read More favor, seek a computer science or software engineering degree instead. Now I have to suffer with this and trying to pay off my loan for doing this bootcamp. I am heading back to school to obtain a degree in computer science after all. That's my passion to obtain a job in computer field. Their advertising is completely false! If it is being true, then look at me with no job in this field after bootcamp! They don't deserve to know who this person. I am keeping myself anonymous, since I am warning you to not fall for this false opportunity.

Learned and studied as much as I could got a A in the class upon graduation. I took all of the career options they provided and resume support to get into the field and cannot land a single interview. I even got desperate and started applying to internships... Read More and still didn’t get any hits on those either. If you are interested in signing up and getting into the career just get a computer science degree this boot camp is not worth the 12-‘13 grand!

My experience with the program was really positive. I made friends, loved my instructor, and overall learned A LOT. They say something half way through the program that's stuck with me; do you recognize yourself from day 1? No, I could not. Day one I... Read More STRUGGLED with basic HTML while everyone around me seemed to be getting it really easily. But week 3 I was writing JS (not well), but well enough. When I graduated I was recommended to be a TA which I jumped on. I have TA'd 2 programs now (about to be 3) and am a great supporter of the program. I do want to say one BIG thing. While the program is awesome and gives you the fundamentals, don't expect to be a programmer upon gradation day. Some people(There were 3 in my class of 30, and I've had 5 students get jobs during/upon graduation) will be able to to that, others will need to learn more. It took me 2 years to land my first real developer job after I graduated. The important thing I learned is to not give up, and how to use all my new tools. You have access to EVERYTHING post class. USE THOSE MATERIALS, and I would 100% do it all over again .

I'm 2/3 of the way through Trilogy's full stack web development bootcamp, meeting part-time over 24 weeks. While this is branded as UT, it is clear that it is only "UT" in terms of where it holds it's classes, so that in itself is a bit misleading. Our... Read More class has had two weeks' worth of classes cancelled without being rescheduled (to break it down in terms of cost, that is equal to about $700 of the $13,000 spent for this course), and we've had a total of FOUR different instructors. Our first instructor for the first 1/3 of the program very clearly had no desire to be an instructor or assist us in anyway. He left to get a better paying job where he does not have to teach, and it appears he was only teaching as a means to a paycheck. The curriculum for this course is also very out of date. Our newest teacher (teacher #4) told us that he didn't know why we were still learning some of the technologies in the curriculum as it is outdated and not something you will really have to create from scratch.

The "Student Success Advisor" is a joke. He will "check in" with you but don't expect to get support when a real issue arises. Due to the cancelled classes, our course schedule online has been very off, and constantly confuses students and teachers alike. He has been asked at least 5 times to fix it, and he has not. He has been asked for access to additional resources, and has promised to provide them, and after over a month, has still not fulfilled his promise.

I took out a substantial loan for this program, and due to the nature of this program (not counting as a degree seeking educational program) I did not qualify for student assistance or student loans, and therefore had to take out a personal loan for $8,000 with an interest rate of 11%. This experience has been very lack-luster for me, and many of my fellow classmates feel the same. I am extremely hesitant to ever recommend Trilogy Education Services for coding bootcamps, and more seriously question why the University of Texas would put their highly reputed name on a mediocre at best external education service program.

The first half of the course was front-end heavy (html, css, jQuery) and I felt like this section had great course materials that were thorough. However, the second half of the class was not as strong. Some of the course materials, especially for React,... Read More had broken links and examples with deprecated code. Code changes frequently but I was told that the course has a group that is responsible for keeping the material up-to-date. Despite having time allocated to these topics in curriculum, we didn't have much time for React, React Native, or PHP. The instructor instead took a couple days to set up a wordpress site.

One of the reasons I chose the UT course over other local bootcamps was the fact that they advertised tech companies that they were affiliated with. They presented this as if we would get contacts from these companies but I reached out to one company who had no idea they were still being used in the bootcamp's marketing. We didn't have career support until the last few weeks of the course when a new career counselor was hired and even then we only received a couple leads for positions that could not be found on the basic job posting search engines. We had a resume workshop with information that seemed out-dated and wasn't specific to resumes for tech positions. The TAs were great and were extremely helpful throughout the course and even after.

We received feedback on our first couple homework assignments but code reviews would have been extremely helpful for the later material. This course gave me a good foundation for front-end coding but I had to rely heavily on external sources for the rest of the material.
