Course Tracker (spreadsheet template)
A place to keep track of the courses you are taking -- mine and other people's. One row per course: where it lives, what you thought of it, and where you got to. Make your own copy first (File → Make a copy), then it is yours to edit. Useful if you are the sort of person who buys more courses than you finish, or who can never remember which platform a course was on. If that is not you, skip this one.
