edX Reviews 

The labs don't load in time. For example the lab on web scraping did not load for at least 2-3 times and on the 3 rd try it took 2-3 min to load.
Links provided in the lab do not work.
Labs has no explanation on the code or there is no explanation what is "Mamba". This was never explained .
Wasted my money behind EdX. EdX is hiding behind big names and when you experience the course, you are in state of disbelief !
There are surely better options !

DE VERDAD NO CONFIEN EN ESTA EMPRESA, ES UNA VERDADERA PORQUERÍA, NO ES UNA BUENA OPCIÓN PARA LABORAR Y MUCHO MENOS PARA QUE CONTINUEN SUS ESTUDIOS EN EL EXTRANJERO POR MEDIO DE ELLOS.

This company is a complete scam. They use the names of real universities to make their programs sound legit. Their boot camps are nothing more than short videos and rushed class sessions where students are just told to google questions. They hype up their certificates when in all reality the boot camps do little if anything to prepare students for a career in tech. It is basically just an extremely expensive intro to coding. The career support after the course is just a job board and resume builder. Absolutely everything in the course, including "career services", can be found online for free. Most employers couldn't care less about Edx certificates because they know Edx is just a scam. Edx works with high interest lenders that trap students into debt to pay the ridiculous tuition. I was scammed out of over $12,000 by Edx through their Data Analytics boot camp at Case Western. Little did I know at the time that Case had absolutely nothing to do with the program. By the time students realize that they were duped, it's already past the one week refund period. They prey on people like me that were hit hard during the pandemic and needed to change fields. They sell a bill of goods and tell you that the potential increase in your earnings makes the program worth the astronomical cost. Complete thievery. It's disgusting that real universities allow this company to "borrow" their names and logos for a fee. Avoid these people at all costs. Save the tens of thousands of dollars and go to a community college or real university where they teach actual employable skills.

Teacher was impatient with students and unprepared to start the course. He didn't have a formal coding education and he quit two months into the course.
They do not provide a textbook version of the curriculum. They refer you to other people's work.

I'm in the process of getting a diagnosis for auditory processing disorder and I was begging them for months for help and they refused. Repeatedly. I then suffered stress related syncope and ended up in the hospital. They removed me from the course but want me to still pay them $8,000

"edX has been an incredible resource for me on my journey to achieve a TOEFL certification. Their platform is not only user-friendly but also packed with high-quality educational content. The fact that they offer this course for free is truly remarkable, making education accessible to everyone. I've found the course structure and materials to be comprehensive and well-organized.

Thieves they will take your money and put you in debt with a student loan. The course itself is very lacking the tutor is disorganised and they shouldn't be providing these higher level courses using UOB, Colombia and Harvard lol. Abysmal I cancelled my whole funding and course. They make constant excuses but never apologise really a joke. Please don't sign up to the tech courses they are 10k clown courses but will leave you in debt.

I took the data analytics bootcamp through Case Western Reserve and Edx. This predatory for-profit "education" company should be avoided at all costs. They use legitimate and respected universties to trap people like myself into thousands of dollars of debt. They claimed that the course was for beginners with little to no coding experience. The material is covered at an extreme pace, which is expected in a boot camp, but nothing is actually learned. The only requirements are: turn in the assignments even if incorrect or incomplete, attend a certain number of classes, and pay. Right from the outset payment seemed to be top priority for this company. After wasting almost $13,000 for a program that didn't actually provide any useful skills, I realized that instruction for every single topic covered in the course could be found online for free. The piece of paper that is given out as a certificate of completion is absolutely worthless because employers know that all of the content in the course could be googled. The career service is laughable. It is simply just a resume coach and job board, again these being available online for free without having to spend $13,000. I can't fault Edx for profiting off of buffoons like myself, but shame on Case Western Reserve University for allowing such a scam company to operate under their banner. Case is a prestigious university and it is very disheartening to see such an institution stoop to such a level in order to make a quick buck off people that are changing careers or have lost jobs due to the pandemic. If anyone is considering a bootcamp through Edx, please reconsider and think about taking classes at a community college or legitimate computer science program.

Waste of Money: edX course

I took the edX course: MITx Introduction to Biology: The Secret of Life. I thought it would go ok, I had taken some other edX courses as well before, I thought it was trustworthy. I couldn't have been more wrong.
After studying so hard, learning so much, and having MANY WEEKS worth of time wasted and then still failing the exam, I feel traumatized to such a level that I don't think I will be participating in ANY edX course ever again.

The instructor was ok, his teaching style was very thoughtful and engaging,  but some third party made the final exams of the course to make sure that more than 90% of people fail the exam.

85% of the questions were about practical Genetics problems and not about General Biology.

The title of the course was misleading (Introduction to Biology: The Secret of Life). It was actually just a practical  genetics course. They basically lied about it in the course description.

The final exam should be made by the instructors themselves and not by outside parties, who have no idea about what was taught in the class and who make 90% of the questions in the Final Exam from only Genetics and not from General Biology. These examiners didn't understand that Biology is much more than just Genetics.

And when I contacted the administration for assistance and a refund, the person who responded just told me that I could re-register for the next run (pay them a huge sum again) and, strangely, asked me why would I even be interested in getting the certificate for this course? I didn't even bother replying to that.

I would NEVER be interested in participating in another edX course again, let alone an MITx course and I would NEVER recommend anyone to take any edX course.

Note: if it had been possible to give it lower than 1 star, I would have done so.

I did my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification in EdX and it was a good experience. You would reminded to resume based on the class category you requested if once a week, 3x a week or extensive. And at the end of every module there were exercises/exams where you will be given 1-2 x chance to answer correctly. So, it is best to take down notes to get the most of the course. So far, I was given the leniency I need to finish the course according to the time allotted. There were some comments from previous takers where they were asking for the certificate after part 1. As for my experience, I have my certificate issued after part 1.
The experience was by far, good and I learned a lot.

This is potentially a phising scam.

Hours after I signed up for these course (which were of poor quailty) an internet casino based in the same region of China attempted to spend money via my account, and there was an attempt from the same place to hack into my AppleID.

1.- No me avisaron que el curso era en inglés.

2.- No pude darme de baja, hay un bucle que pide confirmación de la cuenta, ya está confirmada, por eso pude entrar.

3.- La asistencia era de un Bot, además me cambió de idioma dos veces y encima no me contestó a la pregunta.

* Soy consciente de este tipo de cursos que van por cantidad, no por calidad, por desgracia es bastante usual.

He comenzado un curso de Design Thinking, me parece absurdo que no exista una guía para cada clase en una plataforma "centrada en las personas" hay contenidos no explicados que confunden más de lo que ayudan.

I bought a $5 course on my favourite topic. When the course began, I could see a woman in large glasses in her own kitchen reading a course on the screen. I couldn't be disappointed more. Not in vain the program doesn't offer any refunds or excerpts from the course. My advice: Always trust courses that can offer a refund and can show some excerpt from the course before you'll pay for it.

I have taken many, many EdX courses - I know what I will get. However, I took a University of Queensland "micromaster's". There were many problems with the tech and GDPR compliance, and they wanted me to send my identification to a third-party in India. Both EdX and the University of Queensland kept me in the course long enough so I could not get a refund - I finished all the courses but the last one, the capstone, was not possible to complete. No more EdX, and the University of Queensland was also a part of this fiasco. Poor customer service and lost money.

Very very very disappointed. I paid for my son to take. They should give you more than a week to decide whether it’s a good fit for you to get refund. He has a high IQ and usually learns quickly. DO NOT believe the 70% approval. These are based on only those who chose to do the review and NOT on all who have enrolled. Realistically this boot camp is not for majority that enroll. Huge disappointment. There should be more help groups available and made aware to students. They promote a good job availability after finishing. I could go on. Big disappointment hearing from my son.

Totally not worth it! Expensive and there are better resources out there.

I can understand the courses are quite informative, but I think for professional certificates, at least the first modules should be free so learners can try it out and see if they fit the needs. There should also be a provision for discounts or financial aid like those Coursera provides.

The courses look resourceful but certifications are quite expensive. They should include an option or financial aid like Coursera.

The course is just fine. But do not take this and expect to place out of a course for your high school. My daughter’s high school would not accept her physics course as EDX does not provide an official transcript. She is now stuck taking the same physics class over.

buena plataforma para tomar algun curso certificado evidentemente para obtener el papel tiene un costo pero son razonables.
