FAQs Related To edX

Q: What is the metric for ratings of edX online courses?

In most of the rating platforms, the rating of edX courses is based on the following metrics:

Course content: The syllabus of the course should be comprehensive. It should be up to date and the content must include technological advancements in the domain.
Resources offered: Online courses that include many resources including videos, reading material, recorded sessions, assignments and examinations, are highly valued.
Instructors: A qualified instructor is preferred by students since it ensures that the course is taught in the best manner possible. An add-on to the high rating of the course is also dependent on whether the instructor clarifies doubts or not.
University: High-rated courses are offered by a reputed university since it adds to the credibility of the course.
Accreditation: Online courses that hold good accreditation are highly rated.
Certification: Courses that provide certification are more popular amongst students. If a free course provides valid certification, then it adds on to the high rating of that course.

Q: Can a student put the certificate on high school resume if that student does not reach the age limit to do the course but does it anyways?

If a student is under the age limit to officially enroll in an edX course but manage to complete it and earn a certificate, he/she can include this achievement on resume when applying to college. Having an "Honor-Code" certificate demonstrates your commitment to learning and your ability to complete college-level coursework.

Previously, edX offered honor-code certificates for those who audited courses and achieved a passing grade. These certificates were free and indicated that you completed the course content successfully. However, edX no longer provides any certificates for free audits; certificates are now only available to those who pay for the course.
