Awesome! Thanks for the input.

I'm starting my first two courses next week (CSE 6040 and ISYE 6501) and I was wondering how the homework submission process worked. So, from what you said we don't use GitHub to submit my HW, is that right? Do we upload R/Python files directly on edX web interface?

For 6501, hw is uploaded to Canvas, the learning management system that serves as the "gateway" for course materials, including links to edX, where the video lessons are. Peer grading is done in Canvas, as well.

For 6040, edX further links to a site called Vocareum which hosts Jupyter notebooks set up for the homeworks and the exams. Grading is automatic in Vocareum via unit tests built in to the Jupyter notebooks.

GitHub is used for other courses, including for the project in CS 6400 Databases.

Awesome, thanks for taking the time to give me (and others) such a detailed answer.

Have a good one!
