Auditing Ive audited several edX courses. I like to complete and submit work and know how I progressed, but I don't want a Verified Certificate. The last course I attempted - got half way through then - bammo - couldn't submit work for assessment unless I paid for a Verified Certificate. Come on edX. Tell us at the start of the course if auditing is going to be assessed or not. The course is most interesting (no complaints) and Im going to do the assignments, but I do like feedback.

Thieves they will take your money Thieves they will take your money and put you in debt with a student loan. The course itself is very lacking the tutor is disorganised and they shouldn't be providing these higher level courses using UOB, Colombia and Harvard lol. Abysmal I cancelled my whole funding and course. They make constant excuses but never apologise really a joke. Please don't sign up to the tech courses they are 10k clown courses but will leave you in debt.

EDX can be used in different ways EDX can be used in different ways. I personally have used EDX since its inception. I am a huge fan of e-learning and wrote to the UK government 40 years ago when the internet started with the massive opportunity it presented to improve UK education - deaf ears of course (read Rory Stewart's book on how government does not work). But EDX and FutureLearn have provided significant resources for everyone in the world online and if you 'audit' the course (as I do) then they are completely free. Yes some vary in quality, but some of the courses I have reviewed are simply the best courses I have ever taken in my life - and I have a UK Hons Degree done way back when. So, I suggest people stop & think before paying - Audit the course FIRST - then, if it is good quality and is what you expect, only then pay if you really need a certificate.

Actual trash. Actual trash. They claim their concept is free education, with an added option to pay in case you want a diploma, but some of the courses straight up only offer you a THIRD of the course before asking you to pay to see the rest. Its a disgusting bait and switch one wouldn't expect from an enterprise touting about its ties to actual universities. Avoid at all costs. Also, the customer service is - as many have said - garbage.

Knowledge, Practical and Workspace Edx is a great platform to learn from, especially university programs. One course I took and loved was a computer science program by Havard University. The only challenge was that there was no workspace or platform to practice or code-along with your instructor. It would be great if such improvements were made.
