Great AI course with Lutz Finger

I recently completed the AI course taught by Lutz Finger through eCornell, and it was a fantastic experience overall. The content was well structured and genuinely engaging, and Lutz's expertise and teaching style made even complex AI topics easy to follow. I came away with practical knowledge I can actually apply. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to build a solid understanding of AI.

medicinal plants and fungi

I think there should be a comprehensive class on Mushrooms included in medicinal plants. That would definitely change the name of the certificate.

The course was engaging and enjoyable

The program was engaging, well structured, and an enjoyable learning experience. The combination of the lectures and textbook gave me a solid understanding of the U.S. financial regulatory system and strengthened my knowledge of financial institutions regulation. The eCornell staff was also very responsive and supportive throughout the program. I highly recommend eCornell to anyone looking for high-quality, practical learning.

Excellent In-Depth Survey for Practicing Professionals and Others

This was a well-managed, in-depth survey course for a wide variety of students taking the course for a wide variety of purposes. I believe the majority of my cohort were practicing physicians. Instructors were knowledgeable and good communicators. I found the coursework not only relevant, but a great roadmap invitation for deeper inquiry. Administrative staff are very responsive and friendly. All together, a great experience I'd recommend to others.

A Valuable Investment in Professional Development

As a hospitality commercial leader looking to broaden my understanding of hotel real estate, investment and asset management, the eCornell Hotel Real Estate Investments and Asset Management certificate exceeded my expectations.

The program bridges theory and practice exceptionally well, providing a structured understanding of how hotel assets are evaluated, financed and managed throughout their lifecycle. I found it particularly valuable because it connected investment concepts with the operational and commercial realities of the hospitality industry.

While the knowledge will continue to shape my professional development, it has already influenced the way I think about value creation from an owner's perspective. I would recommend this program to experienced hospitality professionals who want to expand beyond their functional expertise and develop a broader understanding of hotel investment and asset management.

Excellent education experience with eCornell

I love eCornell. I'm currently taking the workshop "Building Enterprise-Ready AI Agents: From Prototypes to Production" with Lutz Finger, the AI Guru of the World! The education I've received has been excellent. Based on my experience so far, I'd happily recommend eCornell to anyone considering one of their online programs.

I found the content and assignments to be incredibly basic and not at an executive or leadership level. I would say this course was geared to someone brand new to HR, not someone in a leadership position with a decade of experience, as it was marketed.

Gives a lot of tools

This certificate was beneficial in giving me tools to use for my professional career. It was decently straightforward to complete. It's one of these things that you get from it as much as you put into it, so I could have completed it without much effort without gaining much, or I could put effort and gain a lot.
I do wish it went deeper in the content such as challenges that we could run into. I also wish it had more AI content since careers are changing with that.

Cornell’s AI in Finance Certification

I had a fantastic experience with Cornell University’s AI in Finance Certification program through eCornell. The curriculum struck an excellent balance between foundational AI concepts and practical applications within the financial services industry.

I especially appreciated learning about large language models, agentic AI architectures, and how these technologies can be thoughtfully applied in real-world business settings. The program challenged me to think strategically about AI adoption while emphasizing governance, risk management, and responsible implementation.

The faculty and course materials were engaging, well organized, and accessible to professionals looking to build a deeper understanding of AI without requiring an advanced technical background. I am already bringing many of the concepts and insights from the program back to my financial institution, where they are helping inform conversations around innovation and the responsible adoption of AI.

I highly recommend this program to finance professionals, strategists, consultants, and leaders who want to better understand how AI is transforming the industry. Thank you to the Cornell team for creating such a high-quality learning experience!

The Digital Marketing Certificate exceeded my expectations. What stood out most was how practical the program was, I didn't have to wait until the end to apply what I was learning. Every course challenged me to think strategically and gave me tools I could immediately use in real-world marketing situations. As a marketing professional, I appreciated the balance between academic rigor and practical application.

Writing is a skill shaped by others

Writing is a skill shaped by others. That is, to grow as a writer you need to have instructors with insights and experience to show and teach you what good writing looks and sounds like.
At eCornell, on-line plus live sessions, you receive excellent handouts, criticism that guides you to better writing, support and encouragement. You also start to write everyday.
So is it worth the money?
If you want to write better script, tell a better story, and build better skills. Yes.
Emphatically yes. But more important, is that the course materials, videos, facilitators guide and help shape your writing.

Completing the Hotel Real Estate…

Completing the Hotel Real Estate Investments and Asset Management certificate at eCornell was a genuinely rewarding experience.

What stood out to me was the quality of both the content and the facilitators. The instructors clearly combine strong academic expertise with real industry experience, making complex investment and asset management concepts easy to understand and directly applicable. Their ability to explain not only the how, but also the why behind key decisions added real value throughout the program.

The course takes a practical approach, covering topics such as hotel valuation, financing, management agreements, investment analysis, and asset management through realistic case studies and financial exercises. Rather than being purely theoretical, it equips you with tools and frameworks that can be applied immediately in a professional environment.

As someone working in hospitality asset management, I found many of the lessons directly relevant to my day-to-day responsibilities and appreciated the strong focus on the owner’s perspective and long-term value creation.

The program is well structured, engaging, and flexible enough to fit around a demanding professional schedule. I would highly recommend it to hospitality professionals, investors, developers, and anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of hotel real estate and asset management.

Thank you to the eCornell team and the facilitators for delivering such a high-quality learning experience.

Storytelling as a Craft

The instructors made the experience great. The materials presented made the experience great. The emphasis was on the craft of storytelling and not finding something to write about. Although it was online, I appreciate the facilitator feedback, and sometimes it was received by video. I learned how to give feedback when doing revisions.
