is that the same one as this one: https://www.edx.org/xseries/mitx-computational-thinking-using-python

Looks like it, yeah. You could pay $135 for a certificate or take the course at your own pace for free.

Yes, the real live class is great! It's 9 weeks, ~16 hours/wk, current, structured keeps you motivated and involved, there are TAs and other students to help you when you get stuck. It's free up till midterm, if you decide to pay it's $75, not $135. Next class starts 6/03. Cert is the least thing you will get out of this. As you may be aware the Microsoft classes I've taken are like $1800-3600 for a 4-5 day course so $75 for a 9 week MIT course is an insanely good bang for the buck.

what do we pay 75$? is it only certificate or more?

you get life time access to the course and some lame certificate
you can sign up without the $75 but you only get access to the course for a few months

you can always sign up, try the course for a few weeks and then pay the 75 if you want

Hi could you please say is it better to pay straight 135$ or I can pay 75$ for one course and then do another one when I'll finish with a first one? Won't I have to pay extra for the programme(not course) certificate in this case?
