Hi all! So I screwed up and did wgu for my bachelor’s. Because it is pass/fail, now i have a 3.0 gpa. Bad idea.
Can taking edx courses help boost me for a master’s program application?

Hello, I’m new to this subreddit and I wanted to know how valuable my edX certificate is.

I’m an 18 year old student in the Middle East and I’m self studying the MIT 6.002x Circuits and Electronics 1: Basic Circuit Analysis. The course is pretty easy so far and I’m in week 2 now.

I’m planning to apply to KFUPM in Saudi Arabia and study EE or ME. Will this add value to my application?

Thank you

Hello guys I applied for financial aid on a course I want to learn. But there was no reply after 6 days does it mean I was not accepted for financial aid? I live in a third world country and can't afford most of the courses. Thank you in advance guys and goodluck.

INTERNATIONAL HELP!!!

Who knows if it is possible to find edx archived course on Internet ?!!! I need only ONE: Corpus linguistics and new technologies: data, language and society by Lancaster university
I fucked up and lost my access . And now. It's no longer available until September but I need to pass it until July. Help Center cant do anything.But i really need to pass this subject

Maybe someone already did the course and could share with some notes or list of literature 🙏🙏

Hey everyone
I’m entering my final year of high school next year and I’m starting to panic about university applications. I really want to apply for Economics and Management programs at top-tier universities, but looking at my profile, I don't have any extra certificates, specialized portfolios, or standout academic extras yet. I have absolutely zero budget to spend on expensive extracurriculars or online credentials, which is why I've been looking into edX. A few questions for those who have been through this:
Is the free edX track enough? I know I can audit courses for free to learn the material, but the verified certificates cost money I don't have. If I just audit the courses and list them on my application to show interest in Economics, will universities care, or do they strictly want to see the paid certificate?
Does edX financial aid actually work Has anyone successfully applied for their fee waivers/discounts as an international/high school student?
What else can I do for free? If you were a low-income student applying for highly competitive Econ/Business schools, what free resources, competitions, or projects did you use to make your application stand out?
I'd appreciate any tips, reality checks, or guidance you can give me. Thanks so much!

Any tips for the “Machine Learning with Python: from Linear Models to Deep Learning”?
I’m currently 17 years old, finished 10th grade that May.
Homework 0 was pretty easy, I covered almost all of the themes myself.
So yeah, any tips from real bachelor-students to a school student?

Hey!

i am new to edX and there is a course that I am interesting in, it calls: "PennX: Robotics: Kinematics and Matgematical Foundations", but i see it status is "Archived" and a notification that says: "Future dates to be announced"

Do you know when they are suppose to open (in general)?

Because the status is "Archived" i am afraid this course will not reopen again and I don't want to wait for nothing.

Thank you!

i’ve audited courses before and i have not had a problem submitting my answers. i don’t know why this time is different, i’ve checked other questions in the course and they’re the same.

any reason why?

this is the “A Global History of Architecture“ course

i wanted to know whether the harvard course on the fundamentals of neuroscience was fit for a junior in highschool or not ,, since i cant gain access to the exact course material and would like to get the opinions of those who have completed or attempted this course

A little background, I have an allied health science graduate degree which isn't getting me stable career in this path with a reasonable pay.

I'm thinking of pivoting to technical side, but uncertain of where to start.

Hey everyone,

I have an Educative Unlimited annual subscription (valid till Jan 2027), but due to personal reasons I won’t be able to use it much.

I’m wondering if there’s any way to transfer it or let someone else use it.

If anyone has done this before or is interested, feel free to comment or DM.

Just trying to make sure it doesn’t go unused.

Hey guys, I have one question. When I finish the 5 courses in the program, will I be able to visualise the grades of each course in the "degree"? Will I have a transcription or something similar?

Thanks!

Hi! I’ll be taking the Data Analysis for Social Scientists proctored exam in around 10 days, and it’d be super helpful if somebody who has already taken the exam could provide me with some guidance on what to prioritize while studying. Is the Comprehensive Review similar to the final exam? Or the optional practice exam? I was thinking of going through and studying the topics that’ve come up in the optional practice exam. Please let me know if anybody has any insights or guidance on what to prioritize. Oh also, will there be no questions related to R? Thank you so much!

If I take this supply chain fundamentals course from MIT

and pay for it.

but I misses some homework.

can I pass the course or do I have to wait the next one coming before taking it and pay for the next time.

They show "100% complete" and I've got the certificates. The AI bot was rather useless (maybe the prof added or updated something, or I missed a task). Has anyone had this happen? Is it even something I should be concerned about?

I'm trying to learn new things!

There is something quite misleading about the way the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) presents its so-called “LL.M. in International Law” on its official website (https://llm-uclouvain.be/).

The key issue is simple: this is not actually a master’s degree. The website explicitly states that upon completion, participants receive a “University Certificate” worth 60 ECTS credits, titled “LL.M. in International Law.” In other words, despite using the term “LL.M.”, the program does not award a Master of Laws degree in the academic or legal sense. It only grants a certificate.

Additionally, for anyone considering taking the MicroMasters in International Law on edX from the same university, think twice. Completing the MicroMasters does not lead to an actual master’s degree. At most, it may offer the possibility of credit recognition, and no direct conversion into a master’s program.

To be clear, this is not about the academic quality of the program. It may very well be a solid and worthwhile course of study. The issue is transparency and naming. If it is a certificate, it should be presented as such without borrowing the terminology of a formal degree that it does not actually grant, and if you are looking for a real master’s degree, UCLouvain offers a separate and fully recognized program: the Advanced Master in International Law, which follows the standard European structure for postgraduate degrees and requires formal admission. This confirms that the so-called “LL.M.” certificate is not the university’s actual master’s program, but rather a distinct offering that exists alongside it.

So Becareful!
