How do you include the online Standford courses on your CV?

1 pointonlyup2 comments

I am thinking of starting two courses that Standford provides online. The coursera courses.

Has anyone included these on their CV before? If I was sending off job applications right now, should I have something like:

Education NameOfCourse - University - Graduation Year

NameOfSubject - Standford Online Course - Currently Ongoing

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Just say what it is and let the reader decide how important it is. I say something like, Machine Learning 2011 (ml-class.org; free, online, no-credit Stanford course). Though personally, if I haven't even begun a class I wouldn't mention it - what is an employer to do with that info? Perhaps you'd get a plus for taking classes but...

You make sure you write Stanford and not Standford...
