University of Helsinki: Free Courses, “IN ENGLISH” + FREE + SELF-PACED + For Credit

Everyone... I am hardly the one to suggest this but...

Just in case many ppl come through... Lets stay calm, and not "overwhelm" them, to the point the programs "disappear" for us....

LETS KEEP QUESTIONS IN THREAD, NOT BUG THEM UNLESS CRITICAL/URGENT... AND "HANDLE IT ALL IN HOUSE" .... cant be too safe

I wouldn't worry about the effect of this board, not very likely, their Discord alone has thousands, even lower tens of thousands (though likely accumulated over the years) of users, number of those enrolled will be higher than that.

I have already finished "ALL" (but 1 locked access) of the Coursera/IBM/Google/MS "Offerings"... lol

in 8 days I finish Sophia, but I estimate I only need 3 to 4, of the 8 days, to reach 100% course completion, *of the courses I'm doing (I'm not doing the few "not for credit career" courses or French I/Spanish I/II)
/
On the 29th of the month Pima CC starts, the 4x easiest courses this term, the "hardest" (not hard) 2 next term
/
Clackamas CC starts in June for LIB-101
/
& now, Helsinki, here we come....

I will also start at Pima CC on the 29th of this month. Maybe we could even be classmates, haha!

Then your get:

Congrats, you have officially registered to get your first 3 ECTS from the University of Helsinki. It depends on each course, but usually it takes about 4-6 weeks till you get an email from them. 
Bear in mind that these creds will probably turn into 1.5 US creds with ACEI, and WES will more likely grant 2 US creds; but this is just my gut feeling. You'd be the first to uncover how much either of the two FCEs will give you for this course.

What was the course actually like? How much writing?

easy, multiple choice and maybe 1500 written words, combined, through course (100-300 words, 10 times?)

Are you just registering for the course on the mooc? I see no where to register and keep track of what you have done

He got instructions within the course and the corresponding links to register his credits with the university registry.

After that, you'll wait till the uni is done with adding creds to their registry.

Just to confirm they took the MOOC course and at the end basically registered for the credit?
