    Frequently asked questions

     

    What is Role Play? 

    Role Plays are an interactive feature that allows learners to practice their skills by engaging with an AI character in realistic scenarios. 

    In the beginning, you will receive an agenda with more information about the AI character you are speaking to and the meeting goals for your conversation. You can have a conversation, ask questions, and practice in a real-world situation.

    Role Plays help you apply course learnings through hands-on practice, helping to build confidence and develop skills such as decision-making, problem-solving, and communication.

    Which courses offer Role Play?

    If a course offers a Role Play, this will be indicated on the course landing page, under the This course includes section.

    How to access Role Play

    If your course offers Role Play, you can access this section in your course curriculum.

    Note: the Role Play feature is available while accessing applicable courses on both desktop and mobile web. It is not available in the mobile app.

    Role Play Curriculum item

    Before starting a Role Play, you'll see a screen displaying details about the scenario, the AI character, and the meeting's goals. Once you have reviewed the information, click Start Role Play to begin the session.

    Interacting with the AI character

    Once you are in the meeting, the AI character will initiate the conversation. Your microphone will be on at the beginning of the conversation, but you can select the microphone icon at any time to disable it.

    Please note: If you experience issues with the microphone, please ensure that your browser's microphone settings are enabled. You can also use the chat feature that is mentioned below.

    Access closed captions: You can click on the closed captions icon to view a live transcript of the conversation as it happens.

    If you prefer, you can communicate with the AI character using text communication. To access the chat window, you can click the chat icon to the right of the microphone icon.

    On the left-hand side, you can review context about the scenario, the goals, and information about the AI character.

    When you are ready to end the conversation, click on the phone icon. Then, select See results.

    Reviewing your results

    At the end of your role play, you will receive a report detailing which goals you have completed. For each completed goal, you’ll receive an overview of your strengths and actionable tips to help improve your future conversations. If a goal was not completed, you’ll also see areas for improvement and examples to guide you in your next conversation.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does completing a Role Play contribute to whether a certificate of completion will be created when I complete a course?

    Is there a time limit for completing the Role Play exercise? Or how many times I can complete a Role Play?

    While the course instructor provides a recommended time for the Role Play as a guide, there is no set time limit. The timer will continue, and you can end the exercise anytime by clicking End Role Play.

    There are no limitations to how many times you can take and complete a Role Play.

    Can I review feedback for the Role Play goals and session before I’ve completed it?

    How does Role Play ensure the privacy and security of my data?

    Udemy is committed to the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies. We maintain robust controls for secure development practices, data handling, access management, and risk management to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems, services, and data. We do not use your personal data to train or fine-tune the GenAI models used for our GenAI features, subject to the Terms of Use, and  our policy also prohibits vendors from training AI models using your data.

  • Learning With Coding Exercises

    Coding exercises are an interactive, compelling way to test what you’ve learned in your programming courses. This article outlines how you can find courses that offer coding exercises and enhance your learning journey with them.

    Table of Contents

    Which Udemy courses offer coding exercises?

    You can check to see whether a programming course includes coding exercises by looking at the course landing page. If it does offer coding exercises, you will see coding exercises posted below the course information.

    Courses_that_Offer_Coding_Exercises.jpg

    Which programming languages are supported for the coding exercises?

    Instructors can create coding exercises in various languages, some of which include C++, C#, Java, Python, Ruby, Swift and PHP, among others.

    Completing a coding exercise

    1. After navigating to a coding exercise in the course curriculum, you can begin completing it by following the instructions provided in the course player.

    • Depending on the programming language you are using, you can click Run code to see the output of your code before running a test. 

    2. When you are ready to submit, click Run tests or Run query (depending on the programming language you are using) to see if you’ve completed the exercise correctly.

    • If your test or query is incorrect, review the error details below or the applicable course resources for guidance on how to solve the exercise.
    • If hints or an explanation for the exercise have been provided, you can also access them for assistance by clicking on the directional arrow at the top.

    3. You can review a log for the tests or queries you’ve checked by clicking on Result.

    4. To start the exercise again and delete any previously entered code and results, click on the Reset option located next to Run Code or as an icon at the top right of the screen.

    Who should I contact if I have a question about a coding exercise? 

    If you’re unable to complete the coding exercise or have any questions, the best way to find answers is to use the Q&A. 

    Other learners may have asked the same question already, and if so, the instructor likely posted an answer. If no one else has asked your question, however, you can quickly post it in the Q&A for the instructor to see.

  • Practice Tests: Frequently Asked Questions

    This article includes answers to frequently asked questions regarding Udemy’s practice test feature, which provides comprehensive, long-form simulated exams for learners to assess their knowledge of a particular subject.

    Frequently asked questions regarding practice tests

    Here are answers to frequently asked questions regarding practice tests.

    How will I know which courses offer these exams?

    To learn how to locate and complete practice tests, please visit the applicable Help Center article below: 

    Is there an additional charge to take the practice test?

    No. If a course offers a practice test it will be included in the course purchase. You will not need to pay any additional fee to take the practice test.

    Will I be notified if I take longer than the time allotted to complete the exam?

    Yes. The practice tests include a timer, which is set to match the same amount of time that’s allowed for the official, certifying exam. If you go past the time allotted, the practice test will alert you.

    How can I review my answers?

    You can review all the answers you submitted by clicking on Review questions after you’ve completed an exam, and see which questions you got right or wrong. You can also search through them for specific subjects in the exam using the Knowledge Areas filter. By clicking on the All Questions filter you’ll be able to select the questions you would like to review (correct, incorrect, skipped, marked for review.)

    practice_test_review_questions_retake_test.png

    Will instructors be able to see my practice test answers and score?

    No. Only the learner can view their answers and final score.

    What is the difference between a practice test and a practice test course?

    While a practice test is a feature available in select Udemy courses, practice test courses only include practice tests. These courses do not include other curriculum items like lectures and quizzes. 

    What is the difference between practice mode and exam mode?

    Practice mode is an untimed, flexible way for you to practice. You can select which domain(s) you’d like to focus on, find out if you got a question right or wrong right away, and learn from the detailed answer feedback.

    Exam mode is a timed experience designed to mimic the real test-taking experience. 

    How do I create a practice test or practice test course?

    Learn more about creating a practice test or practice test course as an instructor.

    Do practice test-only courses offer Certificates of Completion?

  • The Free Course Experience

    Free courses on Udemy offer students a simplified learning experience. This simplified experience limits the features that are available in a free course compared to a paid course. For example, free courses do not offer a certificate of completion, and additional course features like the Q&A and direct messaging are not included in free course enrollments.

    All of these features are available in our paid course offerings. If you want access to these additional features, we recommend enrolling in a paid course 

    Please note: Students who enroll in paid courses via promotional coupons, our gifting option, or Udemy credits will also have access to all the course features.

    Free courses may include advertisements (ads). Ads may appear before, during, or after lessons, on course pages, and within the course player. Ads do not alter the course content and do not constitute an endorsement by Udemy. If you enrolled in a free course prior to March 17, 2020, you will retain access to Q&A and your certificate of completion for those free courses only. All new free course enrollments after March 16, 2020 will not have access to the additional features.
