Reddit Coursera Series

Top Coursera Electrical Engineering Courses by Reddit Upvotes

Reddit is a social media and news aggregation website that ranks content based on a voting system. People worldwide post content (usually links, but also original content), and other users can “upvote” or “downvote” posts, pushing the most interesting content to the top. 

It’s a place where you can find groups of like-minded people. Reddit calls these groups subreddits, and they cover different topics, including niche interests, politics, hobbies, and thousands of other topics people want to talk about.

Since its launch in 2005, the site has become one of the most popular social media sites with millions of monthly active users. 

We've conducted analyses to find the best of Coursera from the depths of Reddit. This analysis has been conducted over 2.7 million Reddit upvotes.

Our methodology

We conducted this analysis by "ranking things based on social signals"

It's the result of mining Reddit posts and comments. The analysis looked at all (url-based) posts and comment mentions of Coursera courses on Reddit, ranking each course based on Reddit score, and showing each course with its top Reddit mentions.

Course Score is calculated with a slightly modified version of a simple popularity / age calculation.

    course_score = sum(mention_scores) / course_age
