edX is an important education platform edX is a great platform, with courses and programmes (and qualifications!) from top education institutions. I always wanted to study with Harvard and Cambridge but ended up doing my degrees elsewhere, so it was a great opportunity to experience their teaching too. Also excellent. Kind and helpful customer service too. Thank you!

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.

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.

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.

I feel scammed I did a course on electromagnetism, 8.02.1x. I completed the first (electrostatics) out of 3 courses, and the materials and teaching staff were great. However, I prepaid the whole programme, and before I could start the second course they were all removed from the platform. I did not get a refund for the remaining two courses.
