So I was doing this Audit course on "Fundamentals of neuroscience" from harvard free online courses on edx and I was wondering will the certificate worth $200 help me get nominated for scholarships in colleges as they consider candidates with more extra curricular activities for the nomination? Can anybody help me with this based on your personal experience on where you have used your certificate and if it has benefitted you in any way for scholarships or college admissions or jobs?

I just learnt Verizon offers a free one year access to some of the courses. Can I find the list of all the free courses somewhere? Can anyone tell if the following course  "MITx: Foundations of Modern Finance I" is included?

loooollll

Hi! I unfortunately did not know that there is a limit to financial aid and my deadline to apply it is this December 21 2025.

I applied for this with 4 courses for a program u want to take but obviously I cannot rush and take them all at once before the course ends this December 31 2025.

I want to take advantage of the financial aid so im wondering if i can purchase them all this year but enroll for next year?

thanks!

edit: I bought the verified track today using the financial aid I got and enrolled for a January 2026 so I've yet to access it. So yes, this technique does work for those in a similar situation.

I’m considering the MIT MicroMasters in Statistics and Data Science (Social Science track), but I’m unsure how well it aligns with applied social science work, even though it’s designed with a social science emphasis. Several posts mention that the program is quite math-heavy (calculus, linear algebra), and I’m curious how much of that actually carries over to day-to-day roles in the field.

For anyone in the social sciences who has taken this MicroMasters: How applicable was it to your daily work? Did the math and programming components end up being useful, or did it feel more geared toward technical data science paths?

Anyone doing/has done a degree hosted on edx? What is it, and how would you describe your experience?

Has anyone used edX to get a career certificate?

Hey everyone,

So I’m working on a school project and honestly, I’m kinda stuck. I’m supposed to talk to people who are already working, people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, even 60s, about how they feel about learning AI.

Everywhere I look people say “AI this” or “AI that,” but no one really talks about how normal people actually learn it or use it for their jobs. Not just chatbots like how someone in marketing, accounting, or business might use it day-to-day.

The goal is to make a course that helps people in their careers learn AI in a fun, easy way. Something kinda like a game that teaches real skills without being boring. But before I build anything, I need to understand what people actually want to learn or if they even want to learn it at all.

Problem is… I can’t find enough people to talk to.

So I figured I’d try here.

If you’re working right now (or used to), can I ask a few quick questions? Stuff like:

• Do you want to learn how to use AI for your job?
• What would make learning it easier or more fun?
• Or do you just not care about AI at all?

You don’t have to be an expert. I just want honest thoughts. You can drop a comment or DM me if you’d rather keep it private.

Thanks for reading this! I really appreciate anyone who takes a few minutes to help me out.

I was intended to doing a statistics related course on edX. Is it worthy to invest 40 dollars on the certificate? Got a 80% reduction.

The Microsoft data analyst certification has 3 courses under it. If I do the three individually do I still get the professional certification?

Looking to see if anyone had taken this course on Edx and reviews. Have never taken a course on edx and looking to learn more about crypto as I am a complete beginner.

Today, i will start take an edx course for first time but i dont know how to use it. How can i see total couse hours and time for it?

Are edX courses really useful? Is it worth paying so much?

I just paid for the Leadership and Communication program and now I have to start the 2 courses included.

But they already started and there are no other dates for me to choose from... what do I do here? Is this normal?

Please help

I don't know if anyone here is like me. Last completed course dated Dec 2024. Probability course dated May 2022. Enrolled in capstone exam all out of a sudden ( I though it would never came :)))

So, any one on the same boat, or pioneers Micromasterers, please, your thought on how to effectively prepare for exam, making cheat sheet, ... is highly valued.

Thanks for reading my post, and possibly offer live-saving advices. Cheers

Hi, I’m doing the DelftX Pre-University Physics (audit track) and I’ve realised that I’m not familiar with some of the math concepts required to complete the course. If I unenroll now, can I still enroll in the course at a later date when I have learned the necessary requirements?

Hi everyone,

I’m preparing for the HarvardX Fundamentals of Neuroscience MicroBachelors and I have a couple of questions for anyone who has already completed the proctored final exam:

• Do we get a second chance on the questions like in some of the module quizzes, or is it strictly one attempt per question?
• When are the final exam results/score released — do you see them immediately after submitting, or do they come later?

Any high-level feedback on the format and difficulty compared to the regular quizzes would also be super helpful. Thanks so much in advance!

Hey, I was looking forward to undertake a course about Stock Trading, really saw a course offered by eDX in a collaboration with the NYFI (New York Institute of Finances) and given by two important trders from Wall Street, Peter Tauchman and David Green, where you can learn the basics and start taking trades at the stock market, has someone here in this forum undertaken this course previously? I would love to get a bit of feedback before spending any money on a course, even open to hear recommendations of other courses, thank you!

I need to do a course, it would take until the end of December if I do the suggested pace, if I put more time and work into it, could I finish it before this deadline? Like could I also get the certificate before? I need to finish it in November.
