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 Udacity 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
