If you are enrolled as a free audit learner, access to graded assignments and exams is not available. Graded assessments and exams are exclusive to the verified track. When you visit any page that features a graded assignment, you can expect to see a message encouraging you to upgrade to the verified track to gain access to these components.
To help you understand the differences between the verified and audit tracks, here's a comparison of what's included in each:
Verified Track:
- Verified Certificates: You have the opportunity to earn a verified certificate upon successful completion of the course.
- Graded Assessments and Exams: You can access and submit assignments and exams to be evaluated for grading.
- Discussion Forums: Engage in discussions with fellow learners, instructors, and course assistants.
- Videos: Access course videos that provide instructional content.
- Readings: Access course readings and supplemental materials.
- Practice (Ungraded) Assessments: Practice your skills with ungraded assessments.
Audit Track:
- Verified Certificates: Not included in the audit track.
- Graded Assessments and Exams: Not available in the audit track.
- Discussion Forums: You can still participate in the course's discussion forums and interact with other learners.
- Videos: Access course videos for learning purposes.
- Readings: Access course readings and materials.
- Practice (Ungraded) Assessments: Engage in ungraded assessments to reinforce your understanding.
If you are interested in accessing the graded assignments and exams, we recommend upgrading to the verified track. This upgrade provides additional benefits and opportunities for engagement and assessment within the course. If you have further questions or need assistance, please reach out to our support team.
