Get Started with COURSERA for FREE | MysticPosting

Before we can get started with Coursera, let's talk about what Coursera is. Basically, Coursera is a online learning platform that provides various Online Courses. They give a chance to the interested people to learn about anything they want. They have more than hundreds of free online courses to learn within 4-6 weeks. Moreover you will get certificates for completing courses. This certificate can be added to your Linkedin profile as a professional certificate. You can read more about Coursera from their site. Now, let's get started.

To create an account in Coursera, we need to get to their website coursera.org. In the right top section of the website, we will find the option to join for Free.


When we click join for Free, we will see a dialogue box pops up. In the dialogue box, we have options to sign up using our Facebook Account or our Apple Account or our Email or our Organization. One thing to note that, signing up with Organization requires you to have a Organization Email account. In this post, we will sign up using our Gmail. To do so, we will fill up the dialogue box using our Full Name, Email and Password. Another thing to note that the Full name provided here will be on our certificates. So, use the name from your National ID/Passpost/Driving licence. It will help us verify our profile going forward.



After filling up the form, we will find another dialogue box asking about our background. We can skip it to save time but filling this up is recommended as it will help us find more courses related to us. We just have to share our Work Experience, Education and Career Goal. When we have completed the fill up, we just hit continue. 



Our account is now created. Now, we can search for courses and enroll courses from Coursera for FREE. But there are two last obstacles. To get our certificate, we have to verify our email and name. To do that, we have to go to our profile option by clicking top right corner then selecting updates. 


Now, if we check our mail inbox, we will find a verification mail. By clicking the green button stating 'Confirm email address', our email will be verified. The next step is to verify our name. To do so, we have to again go to profile option and then Accomplishments. 


After clicking Verify My Name, we will see a page that asks us to fill up our name using Government-Issued ID. After filling this form with accurate name we will check the checking box (if applied). Then hit submit. Now our name should be verified.


If our profile is still not verified, we will need to fill it up with our Government Issued ID. For that we will see another dialogue box pop up. Here we need to submit two photos of our Government Issued ID. One is of the front and another one is of the back. After that, we have to take a photo of ourselves just to verify it is the same person. No need to worry, if we do not look exactly like our Government Issued Id, it will still verify our name. To take the photo I recommend using smartphone rather than Laptop for better photo quality. If we have problem opening camera through browser, just check browser permission from app setting (on mobile) or site setting from browser itself. To go to site setting just click the lock found in search bar and we will find site settings.


By clicking site settings, another tab will open and we will see permission section. Here, we will click the input box corresponding to camera and set it to allow. We have to reload the page to apply changes. Now our camera should work and our account will be verified.

Royal Kludge RK71 Review || MysticPosting

 I got my Royal Kludge RK71 This is may 5th, 2021 and I am writing this review with Royal Kludge RK71 . Let me walk through the journey. Comparison:                     Last month, I was feeling the need of a mechanical keyboard as my old keyboard had a cheap build quality and bad keys. This led me to type incorrectly and slowly. As I was regularly gaming for 4 to 5 hours, writing blogs and editing video, a good keyboard has become a must for me. I tried to look for bank for the buck option. Rapoo V500 I found Rapoo v500 which was a cheap mechanical keyboard with RGB but it had a few things bad. It had some longevity issue. It did not had programable RGB. RGB was not a big deal for me until I bought my mouse which has programable RGB. My setup is not pretty right now but when I shift to a new home and get a REAL JOB, I surely will upgrade the setup. So, I wanted to buy a keyboard that I did not need to upgrade. Also, Rapoo...

Eid Ul Fitr 2021 || MysticPosting

Eid is a occasion of joy for all Muslims. As we know, there are two Eid in an Arabic Calendar. The first one being Eid-Ul-Fitr. In 2021 we are still fighting against Covid-19 but this Eid was one of the best Eid for me compared to last few years.  In previous years, all I used to do was sleep at home during the day and go out to meet some friends in my area at evening. We used to gossip for a few hour and then return back home like a regular day. But this year things were different. As I told in my previous post, we bought a new BBQ machine. So, we planned on having a BBQ party at Chaad Raat. We bought Nan at 8PM and headed to the rooftop. We were just four people that day. At around 10:30 we started the preparation for cooking. We pre-heated the machine and it was red as lava. We placed the chickens on the machine to cook. A few minutes later, the electricity connection was cut. So it paused our cooking. We tried to troubleshoot and found the wire were burned due to high electrici...

Flash Pixel Experience for POCO F1 || MysticPosting

Image
It's May 30, 2021. Last night I bricked my phone once again while updating to a later version of  Pixel Experience. So, I thought it is time to make a document about the thing I do to get back my phone to work again. Pixel Experience :  Pixel Experience is a popular Custom ROM for many enthusiasts. Pixel Experience ROM gives us (the enthusiasts) a chance to experience Pixel in our smartphones. It is a stock android version with minimum bloatware. Most of us like stock android without fancy skins and Pixel Experience is as good as it gets. I am using POCO F1 for around 1.5 years and most of the time I have used Custom ROMs, Pixel Experience specifically. It gives a lot of Pixel Exclusive features and it's fast.  Flashing Pixel Experience : To flash any Custom ROM we need a unlocked devices. No, it's not carrier unlocked phones. It means Bootloader unlocked devices. Unlocking Bootloader is different for every manufacturer. For Xiaomi, they have a tool named Mi Flash Unlock ...
