Free-Online Courses from Stanford on Grad Application

[cwh_pittstate]

Can/Should I put the free Stanford courses that give you a certificate of completion on my graduate application?

I took the machine learning course. I wouldn't put it it on my app.

I don't think there's any harm in putting it on your resume. All the better if you have a good rank at completion! (This depends whether you've taken similar courses during your undergraduate and whether you are currently studying or working. I think it is slightly impressive to have done them while working because of the time commitment required. Certainly I've found it almost impossible to get enough free time to complete the few courses that I've started.)
