To be honest, I didn't think I'd get this one − I mean, I joined on the third week of a five-week course (so I'd missed 40% of the course); worse, there was a midterm on the second week which I'd already missed. I registered anyway, because I wanted to learn about the subject (I am still convinced that statistics and probabilities are the most important maths one should learn at school after arithmetic) and because I intend to take 2.3X, “Inference”.
But thanks to the grading scheme (50% of the grade is contributed by the final alone, plus only the four best homework assignments, out of five, count towards the grade) I made it. Since edX have adopted the policy of handing out certificates to everyone, that's my, let's see, 11th edX certificate secured.
(I made a grand total of 2 errors in the course; both of which I could have avoided if I'd paid a little attention.)
