Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages

  • University courses you can audit for free, with lectures, readings and practice quizzes.
  • A verified certificate from the university if you pay for it.
  • Self-paced: start any time.

Disadvantages

  • Graded assignments and the certificate need the paid track.
  • Audit access can expire a few weeks after the course ends.
  • Learning is free, but the certificate costs money.
