Hi everyone! I am a happy user of coursera in order to learn new things within and beyond computer science. What do you think, how do admission committees look at coursera courses, if you state them in your application? Do you think that good grades in relevant courses (maybe offered by top universities), have a weight in your application? How about if you apply to work in the group which offered the course you took, and you got a certificate signed by the instructor? Does anybody maybe already have some experience with this? Looking forward to hear peoples' thoughts on this!

Hi! I am very interested in taking a Human-Computer Interaction seminar in Stanford as an NDO class (distance learning). Therefore, I need to hand in an application at the "Stanford Center for Professional Development". Does anyone know if it is hard to get accepted there, in order to take NDO classes? PS: I am currently doing a Masters in Computer Science (not in Stanford) Thx!
