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.

The EdX courses are good but unfair The EdX courses are good, but need flexibility, so that the one who has done more than 50% of assignments ,as audit, could be able to pay and to be able to finish the course. Not to cut him off in the middle of the course. Education should be a priority here, not- business and money! You stress and depress people. They lose their time, and become unhappy. Bad decisions of the EdX management team.

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.

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.

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.
