I have just started my first course on Udemy. It's called Java Masterclass somethingsomething (bought it for 10$), and I think it's pretty good so far. After each lesson they give you a challenge and then show you how they would've done it.
As @Charon92 said, it mostly depends on the way you learn.
But...for the 10$ you can get a pretty good course and get yourself started in a new language/field.
Firstly try doing a bit of research on the specific course you're interested in -
Before you buy the course, try out PluralSights. It's a really good website to learn stuff but it's really expensive. Here's a work around. Get a microsoft account and then sign up for Visual Studio Dev Essentials (just Google it) with it. It gives you a free 3 months valid subscription for PluralSights. And then enjoy.

Im currently doing Android Developer course. Every video gives you a challenge to try yourself. The instructor gives the specifications / win / lose conditions and then shows you how would he do it. Its a good starting point to exhibit your problem solving skills since its a controlled environment and almost like a classroom setup. It still depends on your learning curve though.
Looking for "real reviews" of Udemy courses.
Who here have taken a Udemy course?
Which course did you take?
What was your opinion of it, in terms of overall quality, material coverage, interactivity (the coursework), and so forth?
Did you feel you actually learned useful things at the conclusion of it?
Had you taken a similar course through a different service? Which service and how did it compare?
There are some $10 courses at Udemy I'm considering purchasing. But there are two $100/each courses I'm highly interested in. TMI: We are a single income, single parent household of 3 with Christmas nearing and all the childrens have birthdays this month. Spring Break was apparently a very busy time for the adults of our extended family. Hence, even the $10 is hard to part with.
