Lack of Live Interaction: The absence of live lectures or Q&A sessions limits real-time interaction with instructors and peers, potentially hindering opportunities for deeper understanding and collaboration.
Room for Improvement in Community Engagement: The discussion forums provide some interaction, but a more active and vibrant community could foster greater peer-to-peer learning and support.
No Career Guidance: The specialization does not offer personalized mentoring, career coaching, or a dedicated alumni network, leaving learners to navigate their career paths independently.
