Hey #AcademicTwitter how do interpret online courses on people's CVs?
E.g., if a student/postdoc's CV says: "I did X online course" — do you consider it the same as/better/worse than an equivalent module in a university degree?
Please reply with your rationale too if possible!

Yup. A lot of people take online courses as not as serious as modules, and I've seen people who took a course claim they've mastered the topic. A lot of them have marking, but it's peer marking, so unless someone knows what they're doing it has the potential to turn bad.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
