Full Stack Track vs. Full Stack Techdegree

Hello, Can anyone tell me the benefits/differences of the Full Stack Techdegree vs just completing the Full Stack track itself?

I can't speak from personal experience, but my understanding is that beyond the video courses and code challenges and quizzes, the Techdegree program adds:

  • structured lesson pacing
  • access to a Techdegree-only Slack channel, for live interaction with staff and other students
  • development of a project portfolio to add to your resume
  • feedback on the projects
  • optional peer reviews
  • a proctored final exam and certificate
  • live Zoom meetings with a staff career advisor

Check out the Techdegree page for more details, and there's also a Plans page comparing the various options.
