How to Sign Up on Coursera
To sign up for a free class on Coursera, first, go to their website. Then, search for a course you’re interested in. When you find one, look for an “Enroll for Free” button. You might need to choose the “Audit the Course” option, which lets you view most of the course materials without getting a certificate or graded assignments. If you don’t see “Audit,” sometimes you can choose “Full Course, no Certificate” for similar access.
Good luck and don’t be afraid to advance! #LifelongLearning
