You took a free online class and learned lots of useful information. What more did you expect?

You maybe didn't read my post entirely or maybe I wasn't clear. I'm saying that the courses are great and I'm suggesting them to change the way they are paraphrasing the statement of accomplishment or even better to create profile pages.

No, your blog post was quite clear, and I believe the parent poster understood it. In my opinion, you were whining about a very tiny and insignificant thing.

Then they would have a legacy system that they would need to maintain. They should simply learn and move on. Gotta have the disclaimer about not being an official Stanford course.

Someone in the AI class was whining because he thought a quiz question was unfair, and quizzes count for nothing.

Bottom line: You get to learn online from one of the best universities in the world and it's free. Enjoy gaining the knowledge and try to overlook the missing "gamification."
