I'm seriously confused about the downvoting. Would somebody who downvoted either of the Coursera posts explain their thinking?

They're bare links-and-quotes. At least one original paragraph about why to bother linking something is called for.

They were originally bare links and posted in Main. I've now reversed to an upvote.
