Hello everyone!

I wanted to ask this sub what is the highest discount offered from coupons for EDX courses? I just finished my first course and am starting a new one in January so I’m looking to sign up sooner than later.

I have seen and used the 30% discounts in the past and it looks like they have a Black Friday one live currently. However I did see some larger discount coupons that, while they didn’t work, offered much larger discounts.

My question is, has anyone gotten a discount larger than 30% or is that about the best I’m going to get for a course discount?

Thank you!!!

I am thinking of doing the professional certificate course by Harvard in Computer Science for Artificial Intelligence.

Is there an option for financial aid for a professional course? I couldn't find the audit option.

Is a professional certificate actually worth it?

hi. so i emailed infoedxorg mail address a week ago about the possibility of them offering me a full discount(told them why i need it , why i can’t afford it etc) since i can not afford even the fee that comes up after the discount. i sent the first email the day i sent a request for financial aid , and i received my financial aid confirmation letter 2-3 days later. however , they never answered my email about the 100% discount. yesterday i sent them another email asking for an update , but they never responded. am i contacting the wrong address? or do they just ignore my email?

I was in my third year of a bachelor's degree at the University of Aberdeen when I had to leave it midway due to an emergency. Fortunately, I was able to receive an Undergraduate Diploma in Higher Education Science, but I’m unable to return to complete my bachelor's degree.

Given this background, I'm curious to know about your experience with the MIT Statistics and Data Science Micromaster. Did you find it particularly challenging? Do you think someone without a full bachelor's degree can succeed in it? Was there enough time to do the exam and homework for all subjects and are the exams proctored? Also, how has completing the program impacted your career opportunities?

I am considering the methods track but which one do you think is the best?

I would greatly appreciate any insights you can share. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

I'm a freshman and I want to begin micromasters of MIT (Statistics and Data Science) I have previously taken 6.001 and 6.002; and I will take calculus I and II until the course begins. What do you think, any advices?

1. Does edX offer college credits? I can't really get a definitive answer to this question.

2. If edx does offer college credit, which courses offer them?

3. How do you them transfer them to your college?

4. And what are the chances of Florida International University accepting them?

Just a warning that Linux Foundation does not recognize certificates taken on edX :

Currently, we are only displaying Badges and Certifications earned through The Linux Foundation Training and Certification at https://trainingportal.linuxfoundation.org/. We are unable to display any certifications earned via EDx or any 3rd party at this time. 

Hi everyone, in order to find better solution for my customers I want to improve my skills on business process analysis. Is there something free on edx?

eDx pide seleccionar pais al momento de crear la cuenta en q se diferencia seleccionar un pais u otro?

eDx asks to select a country when creating the account, what is the difference between selecting one country or another?

Can I finish a course and pay for the certificate some time in the future?

I applied yesterday but I can't wait to start. I'm asking this, because if you do this in coursera, it cancels your financial aid application :)

Hello folks,

I'm currently unemployed due to some layoffs and would like to upskill - I'm a product designer and would like to take the accessibility course. I saw that there was a financial assistance program and sent an intent for it, however edX hasn't gotten back to me yet. Has anyone done this before and what documents would be needed if ever? (It's strange because it asks for intent first but does not give any further details out).

As a secondary question - does anyone know any other platforms that offer unemployment financial assistance with courses on Product / Graphic / Web Design or something similar? TIA!

TIA!

This course was supposed to be about k3s on the edge and is put on by the Linux foundation. I thought I was going to be learning about Open Source projects. I think the guy that wrote course must me the Author of OpenFaaS and Inlets. These have pathetic community editions that are not suitable for production completely unlike other Cloud Native options. For example Knative is a competing serverless offering and is 100% FOSS and the most popular...yet the course chooses the paywall OpenFaaS instead.

Also, taking my course on a Mac (work computer). OpenFaaS doesn't work on Apple Silicon or Raspberry Pis without special TARGETARCITECTURE ENV flags being set. No where does the class mention this and my labs where failing. Only through inspection of target template code did I discover the hardcoded x86 architecture defaults. I wasted a lot of time on that.

My Goal was to learn how use Cloud Native components for bare metal for home and commercial projects that could keep myself and potential clients away from complex licensing. Just choosing AWS or Google Cloud gives you a single vendor for licensing. This is crazy if I licensed all this individual pieces...defeats the charter of the Linux Foundation in the first place.

Hello, wanted to ask if it's kind of icky or is it generally alright to put the course I finished on my resume, even if I didn't pay for the certificate?

Thanks!

Hello,

So a while back I completed the Statistics and R course by HarvardX. I did a payment in order to recieve a certificate. I got the credential ID and added it to my LinkedIn. When I try to view the certificate it shows 'Page not found'. I'm unsure why this is happening. Any help is appreciated.

I was wondering if edX will ever reopen the MicroBachelor's pathway initiative? I was accepted for Marketing Essentials. Now I want one more under my belt.

TIA!!

I've been interested in CS for a long time, but for some reason never really got on edx to learn it even though I've known about the site since 2017.

I watched the first lecture this weekend and was entranced. It was so interesting and the professor made the learning fun and engaging. I feel like I'm biting off more than I can chew though with my intent for the scratch game. My current idea works but I can't I am having a few issues.

The game is as follows: Player Sprite is a rocket ship that's moved using wasd. When the game starts a missile appears at a random spot. The missile takes the coordinates of the player sprite and then glides toward it. Afterwards it travels to the closest corner. I'm trying to figure out if there's some ways to solve a few problems:

Issue 1: I can't make the missile travel at a set speed. I'm using the glide to function and since it's going to glide towards the players last location for a set amount of time since I can't seem to set a speed.

Issue 2: I think I can figure this out with tinkering, but depending on the location of the player coordinates variable, the missile can backtrack since it will attempt to travel to the closest corner instead of continuing on a straight line.

I know I can simplify this a lot if I make the missiles come from a set direction, like from the top or the left or right. I'm thinking of setting the missile to only spawn in a set coordinate range and depending on where the coordinates of the player are to travel towards the walls in that direction. Just wish I could make the speed faster and more random but can't quite figure that out yet.

Anyways, I have very little experience in programming and CS and I'm very excited. The extent of my coding knowledge is python for beginners on sololearn. I'm excited to learn data structures, algorithms, how to make code that actually does something. If you've been considering doing cs50, I'd recommend doing it, it's fun and there's no hard commitment if you have a busy schedule like I do.

Also if the formatting is odd, it's because I'm on mobile.

Sorry for a weird question, but just want to check if I can open jupyter notebook when taking proctored exam?

Am I Allowed to put my edX Columbia Professional certificate under the education section if I specify online / edX or is that a no go?

As the title says, UMBC has a new cybersecurity MicroMasters freshly launched on the edX website. This is not to be confused with the existing MicroMasters in cybersecurity offered by RIT. The UMBC program has the advantage of being self-paced, while the RIT program is instructor-paced.

Annnnd of course, edX doesn't list this MicroMasters in the gallery for MicroMasters programs. You'll have to search for it manually on the site. A link is also provided below. Seems like a solid program.

I have access to verified edX through an organisation but the subscription ends 1st of October - does anyone know if that is inclusive of the day or not? And what timing does it operate with, my timing or another specific American one?

I ask because I have two courses with projects that are peer review, and they still haven't been reviewed so I'm worried to miss out on a program certificate that I've been working really hard for.

Also, if it gets graded after my subscription ends, do I still get access to the certificate?

Hi I'm planning to take both certificates. 1-CS50's Introduction to Artificial Intelligence with Python 2-Data Science: Machine Learning

I have decent knowledge about python. But not R. Any advice or tips that can help me understand and pass both courses?
