Is there a way to link to external reviews? I've reviewed both Introduction to Databases (http://henrikwarne.com/2011/12/18/introduction-to-databases-...) and Design and Analysis of Algorithms Part I (http://henrikwarne.com/2012/05/08/coursera-algorithms-course...)

A suggestion for the future: Implement an optional filter for the ratings so that it will show with five stars the range from 4* to 5*. 4.0-4.2 - one star (1.0-4.0 is also one star) 4.2-4.4 - two stars ... 4.8-5.0 - five stars This is because most people can't comprehend how to rate generally good things but which are not perfect on the absolute scale. Relative scale is an even harder concept.

This method won't help of course so in the future you'll need to distinguish so people as "experts" (this is a human task, it can't be awarded statistically - by a number of reviews or anything similar). After that implement separate rating for them.

Even that won't fix biased reviews but will mitigate them considerably. The task of implementing good rankings is a very hard one.

It's a rare "show HN" that shows me something I really needed, and which has clearly been done well. Kudos.

This will probably be hard to do in the short term but if MOOCs take off it would be good to actually verify if the reviewer actually has taken the course. I think that's one key issue with Yelp - there is no verification of reviewers so there are a lot of spam issues : http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/09/obama-gets-a-l...

Maybe you can talk to the Udacity/edX/Coursera guys to get some kind of API access? Regardless, this is awesome - I've taken two courses on Udacity, and love it so far. However, there has been an explosion of courses offered so it would be nice to have tools like this to help me filter.

The big banner headline on the page just says reviews for Coursera, Udacity, and EdX. That might mislead people into thinking that is all that is there. Perhaps there should be something that that indicates that others are also included?

This is pretty cool, let me know if you want to partner up - I built http://coursebacon.com/ as a side project and it seems that we're both trying to solve the same pain. Email is in my profile.

I would like to thank you for building this. With the large number of courses currently being offered, evaluation of the courses is valuable not just to prospective students, but for the course organizers and instructors themselves.

It would also be good with a "Was this review helpful"-button a la Amazon, so the reviews can be ordered according to helpfulness.

Much needed, thanks for making it.
