I have trouble accessing the material. Some images and videos are misaligned. What should I do?

  1. Use Google Chrome or Firefox rather than Internet Explorer, which does not always display the content properly.
  2. Disable plug-ins.
  3. Check your browser settings - JavaScript must be enabled.
  4. Access the course from home.
  5. If accessing the course from behind the firewall, contact your local IT to temporarily disable the local firewall, or disable the firewall for unique edX IP address.

Can I access the course on my phone or my tablet? 

At this time edX is in the process of releasing a mobile application for iOS and Android smartphones. However, as this course relies on the use of EViews and Microsoft Excel to a great extent, we recommend using a computer to access the course material.

How can I download lecture transcripts?

To download a transcript, please select one of the downloading options. .srt file or .txt. All transcripts contain time codes, which allow the video player to know when exactly to show a line. In most transcripts the time codes appear stuck on top of one another at the beginning of the file. Scroll down and you will see the actual text.

I do not understand how to use the discussion forum.
