The signature track gets you a "verified certificate" rather than a certificate of completion. They are trying to partner with Universities for credit granting (there were about 300 meetings here with both Coursera and EdX, but eventually it came to nothing because they wanted us to do all the work of putting the course together, they would charge the people, and keep the vast amount of the money)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I believe that all Coursera and EdX courses are technically audits.
The edX cooking course has a stream where you finish the assignments, and one where you putter. The Coursera art course I took had one stream where you do the quizzes and one where you do quizzes and create art. I looked at another one where you either just did the quizzes or you did quizzes and programming--I haven't come across one where they expect you to not do a specified amount of work.

I am thinking of audit as the opposite as "for credit"- I guess it is better to say these are non-credit classes And there is no penalty if you do not do the assignments, and whether you do or not, you will not get college credit- you will get personal and professional enrichment at your own pace.

I have missed the classroom experience for years. My brain is getting lazy. None of the enrichment classes I have access to in terms of timeframe are in a subject I'm interested in. I don't want to do ballroom dancing or improve my computer skills learn to cook vegetarian. I want to study something academic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I guess I'm sitting vigil now. For the moment, I'm alone with my grandmother in the hospital. I get Scott Simon now, for sure. My cousins just left, and I immediately wanted to reach out to you people.

Oh, Jesse, that's so hard. We're here!

Thanks, guys. My family has had a hell of a summer! My cousin's husband's mother just had surgery for breast cancer, and now he thinks he has Lyme disease! Anyway....
