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.

Honestly edX is my favourite site to do… Honestly edX is my favourite site to do these courses. The fee you pay for the certificates if you go that route are indefinite, so you can do the course as you please. Other sites you would have to pay monthly and depending if you don't complete within the month you'll only pay more. So, price wise really good. The courses I've taken are really well done. Quality instruction and depending on the course good forum interaction too. I've also done free courses and are exactly like the payed ones difference being the certificate. So, if you don't want to pay you still get quality instruction.

Good content, poor navigation I took 4 courses in the last year. While the course quality is good, the navigation through the learning material is a nightmare. Please fix the user experience ;)

No content and no instructor I completed edX's Online Teaching and Learning Strategies course. It was awful and I learned nothing. The course content is little to nothing. Many pages were bullet points of best-practices with no explanation or extension. The course format was the same throughout all 9 modules: Introduction - instructor 30 sec video (which she read from a folded piece of paper) - discussion - summary. It was a waste of time and money.

Bad learning experience I was doing an LLM course the labs stopped working for me might course and edX support said that's a problem with the staff delivering the course. The staff delivering the course responded with a scripted message the forum thread I started and then went dark.
