Hello, everyone. I want to know, can students grade the courses on the edX platform? ---

EdX used to have an area on their course pages for learner reviews and ratings. Unfortunately, those ratings were never very useful or accurate, so they removed that feature. I don’t remember whether that was an integration with some outside vendor or whether it was part of the platform. ---

Yes, Open edX did have a feature called coursetalk (course reviews tool), which is now disabled by default. The role of course reviews, I guess, is to help learners forge an opinion about a given course before enrolling or upgrading to the verified (paid) option, by checking what other learners think of it. **Some DevOps information if you have access to Open edX configurations :** Course reviews can be shown by enabling a waffle flag “course\_experience.show\_reviews\_tool”. from the django administration panel. the reviews link is then displayed alongside bookmarks on the Course About page’s sidebar. I’ve reactivated it in a devstack installation but it still does not work for me (the add review form does not display). I am not onto it right now, I might check that later. Please tell me if you encounter the same issue. ---

@ARMBouhali Thanks for your reply，According to your prompt, I configured this function in the django management page, and displayed the comments in the LMS page. I couldn’t write the comments after clicking enter, I don’t know why. ---

if you couldn’t post comments by pressing enter, then you’re better than I am. I actually don’t even get a displayed form to write a review. Hope you find a way to solve this issue. P.S : Some JS files try to access [coursetalk.com](http://coursetalk.com). I don’t know the exact reason but I hope this feature doesn’t have external dependencies. ---

Looks like course reviews use [coursetalk.com](http://coursetalk.com), and they have no explicit way to integrate reviews and rating without going through the process of becoming their partner (like edx, coursera, udemy, and a bunch of famous e-learning platforms). I forsake this solution for now, I think I will turn into integrating some django module with open edx for this purpose. If any news I’m gonna update this topic. Regards ---
