Ducktegrity
We will never accept money from advertisers to remove or bury negative reviews. We spare no expense when it comes to exhausting every legal option to defend our service from overzealous course providers that are intent on removing negative reviews that they don’t like.
A Global Community of Life-Long Learners
Our community is what makes CourseDuck so darn useful. We’re an ambitious group of self-improvement junkies and life-long learners located across every continent on the globe. We write reviews as a way to give back and help one another make better online learning decisions. Interested in contributing? Join Team Duck and write your first course review.
Powered by the Wisdom of the Crowd
The Wisdom of the Crowd is an idea many centuries old. It contends that a large group of ordinary people will have an aggregated opinion that is superior to that of a single expert. This is the underlying principle that makes any review aggregator, such as CourseDuck, work. But for this to work well, you need a large data set (lots of reviews) and the means of filtering spam / low-quality reviews. That’s why we are relentless about improving the quality and quantity of our reviews. When a course ranks #1 within a given category, you can be certain that it has earned that position based on merit and not manipulation.
