[F4LT] Look like both Complete Microsoft Excel courese are cloned with different author name!

[leejiacheng1]

These are the 2 free courses at the moment but both look like identical except like author names (if you try to read these descriptions of the courses URL).

Please decide yourself whether want to enrol it or not. But afraid the Udemy will revoke these courses once received the complains from some buyers or reviewers.

Unbelievable. Although these are not EXACT copies of the same course...upon viewing the first video...they are nearly identical. Can't imagine sitting through this course even if I were paid.

[leejiacheng1]

That's right!

That's why some of the potential buyers are reluctant to buy the courses from Udemy platform unless they knew the authors are "Branded" and "well known"!

[leejiacheng1]

In addition, some of the authors who were also reluctant to join the Udemy platform coz their courses can be copied and cloned easily by 3rd parties, resell it to make some monies by the 3rd parties!

There was a case where there an author who never use Udemy platform to sell his course and later somehow he found his course was being cloned and sell it under the platform and reported to Udemy official website. However, I was not sure about the outcome.

Udemy need to improve the quality control system but there are so many new courses were added everyday which might resulting their system incapable to manage the quality of the course and the protections for both the sellers (Instructors) and the buyers (students).

You are totally right, about the Udemy quality control problems, leejiacheng1 bro! We hope that Udemy will progress and restore a better reputation!

Nevertheless, I think that in this case, it is not a clone or stealing problem of this crap-courses! When it is a clone or stealing problem, at least the courses have good content, and this is not the case! ;)

This is a case of a very very BAD teacher that seems that also created multiple accounts with FALSE names (but with the same voice and terrible teaching style); and for that reason, now he is also as a DISHONEST author, to spread his crap-courses even more, making the Udemy list full of his very very bad courses. Bad for him, that is FALLING very deep in ERROR!

At least people learn EVERYTHING that SHOULD NOT BE DONE; never!

:(

Peace bros, anyway!

[leejiacheng1]

Agreed your opinions! However, Udemy still is the best platform to learn the knowledge for all of us.

God bless you angelcrc7 and all of this BBHF members.

Both of those "instructors" have really bad ratings for the majority of their content. I already ignore the ABD guy whenever he pops up. Same with the other guy. Even he has poor ratings and obviously follows the same format. I'd be more surprised if this was just a pure coincidence, but it's clearly not.

I don't follow any of them, and wouldn't doubt it if it's actually the same person. All the more reasons to ignore the him. Unfortunately most of the people here just want to hoard courses. They call courses great or beg for them even though they've only read the title and have no idea what it's actually about, nor do they have any intention of actually completing it. Those kinds of people are the reason why people like ABD thrive.


It's very simple:

Like attracts Like.

U got the points and agree with your comments!

I'm just one of the small uploader and leave it to the members to decide whether want to enroll it or not. Maybe different members different needs.

Whenever found the free courses, I will post it to share with this forum members for them to gain the knowledge and learn new skills. Just like your name as implied "i_Love_Knowledge".

Cheers!

Does Udemy have any quality control?Seems it's more like quantity over quality.

For every high quality tutor or even good tutor.They are so much poor or really Amateur tutors and courses out there.

Really downgrades the brand.

[i_Love_Knowledge]

Thanks!

It's true, and I'm right there with you. In my case, I've decided to stop sharing coupons for a while, because it was getting tiresome seeing the same people ignore efforts to find them, so I started doing just free courses.

I will never be against sharing or learning, because I really do love to learn, but I also appreciate quality over quantity; and that's a very important distinction that should be pointed out. It gets old really fast seeing the same "Zero to Hero" courses that are 45 minutes long. There are many instances where I can go to YouTube and find higher quality courses from knowledgeable people. I've done that over and over again, but this is the Udemy section, not the YouTube section.

Please do feel free to share, and definitely don't take my feedback personal. I really enjoy seeing people learning new skills. My issue lies with low quality instruction and low effort, or people who sabotage themselves by being greedy.
