Good forum on there as well Paul when the course starts. If you want to, you can do peer marked assignments as well as multiple choice quizzes each week so as to "pass" the course, but watching the main video lectures and doing the quizzes was the main thing for me. In the past if you hadn't time you could actually pass the course by missing out on the assignments, but getting over 90% on each quiz (you can have up to 100 tries on each quiz) and over 90% on final exam (2 tries if you want) it lasts for 45 mins, multiple choice answers of a randon selection from the quizze. Without doing assignments and getting 90% on quizzes and final exam will give you around 70% overall score which is a pass.

The other way to do it is just to watch the video lectures at your leisure and not worry about getting any marks or so called passing the course.

Basic it may well be for some people on here, but I found it absolutely brilliant, have signed up again jut to refresh on the quizzes and the forum.

Coursera does offer an additional thing called "signature" where you can pay 40$ and get I think a downloadable certificate with Berklee's logo or something like that on it, but that doesn't really interest me atall, its the content of the course that counts.
