AI Thread Summary
Upgrading to an ID verified student status for the MITx course on mastering quantum mechanics for $100 offers several advantages. It provides a verified certificate upon course completion, which can enhance credibility and demonstrate commitment to learning. However, there are questions regarding the recognition of edX certificates by academic institutions, as their acceptance can vary. The decision to upgrade should consider the potential value of the certificate in professional or academic contexts, alongside the personal learning experience gained from the course.

i signed up for my first edx course mastering quantum mechanics from MITx and i am currently considering upgrading to an ID verified student for $100, is it worth it?

I am following nicely through the course, i did most of the stuff as self study (but some concepts had some holes and i am fixing them) so i think i can follow till the end.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
