Frequently asked questions
Is there an audit track?
No, you can see the first part of the Capstone assignment in the audit track. To see the rest and be able to submit it (and pass the course), you need earn a verified certificate in all other courses of this MicroMasters programme and upgrade to the verified track for the Capstone course.
Is it one big project?
This project is divided into several phases. Between these phases you will receive feedback on your progress from the course staff. We will schedule private sessions for you to directly communicate with the educational staff for any questions and in-depth feedback.
How do I gain access to the Capstone project?
To gain access to the Capstone project inthis module, you need to be added by the course team to the Verified MicroMasters Certificate-Eligible Cohort. You will be added to this cohort only if you (a) have completed (and earned verified certificates for)the first three courses in the MicroMasters programme and (b) are already registered as a verified learner for this Capstone.
If the two criteria above apply to you, please initiate the Capstone experience by letting us know you meet the requirements and request access to the verified MicroMasters certificate-eligible cohort.
After we confirm (a) that you have completed (and earned verified certificates for) the first three courses in the MicroMasters programme and (b) that you have registered for the Capstone as a verified learner, we will add you to the cohort and send you a confirmation e-mail. Note that this may take up to three business days. Once you receive the confirmation, you may proceed to Module 2.
Who can take this course?
Unfortunately, learners from one or more of the following countries or regions will not be able to register for this course: Iran, Cuba and the Crimea region of Ukraine. While edX has sought licenses from the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to offer our courses to learners in these countries and regions, the licenses we have received are not broad enough to allow us to offer this course in all locations. EdX truly regrets that U.S. sanctions prevent us from offering all of our courses to everyone, no matter where they live.
