Best ROI/Value - EDX Microbachelors/Micromasters

Last week, I applied for financial aid to one of these edx microbachelors and got the 90% discount offered. If you had an option to do something to plug in some knowledge or learning gaps, which would you chose?

The one I selected was for the IBM Full Stack Application/Cloud Development option, I think it'll go well with the Coursera counterpart, their IBM Full Stack Software Developer Professional Certificate

I highly suggest getting all the cheapies/freebies on Coursera and EDX combined, this price is originally $713.90, but I got it for roughly $72 and the Coursera/TADA offerings are FREE.

EDX financial assistance program is awesome, they let you apply for at most 5 times every 12 months. So technically, you can get 5 courses at 90% off for each.

After my time creating the 3 essays, it prompted me to create a thread: https://www.degreeinfo.com/index.php?threads/which-essay-sounds-better-chatgpt-a-or-a-paraphrased-version-b.62324/#post-588379

Anyways, these are valid for professional certificates, there is only one way to find out if it has financial aid or not, you take the 'audit' version of the course, then you apply for financial aid using their link.

If the course financial aid link has a drop down arrow for you to select the course, you're good, if it doesn't show that drop down, then that course doesn't have aid at all.
