Golden rules
Five rules that keep you safe.
- 1Only use official platform pages. Never give your password to any "free course" site.
- 2Be honest on every form. These are honor-code declarations, and false info can get your account blocked.
- 3Write answers in your own words. Copied answers get rejected.
- 4One course at a time. Finish it, then apply for the next.
- 5Set reminders for deadlines (180 days on Coursera, trial end dates).
