Just wondering what people's opinion on purchasing a Coursera course as a way to boost a resume. Although I'm sure some jobs would like it and some wont care at all, generally speaking, is it worth the money?

I assume it's treated like an extracurricular as opposed to a qualification by recruiters. May be a tie-breaker but don't expect them to pounce on you, welcoming you with open arms just because you did "Business Administration" at Eurotown University Online
Taking the course just to pad your resume is a waste. But taking the course to learn a useful skill is fine.
I haven't taken a course, but they seem reasonably priced.
Personally for me I want to learn Python, I regret never taking a computer science course in college, although yes I'm not fooling myself that this course alone would help me land a better position. I'm trying out the free material for now.
I took psychological first aid for con ed to maintain my license as a medic. Its pretty good if its for work but to pad your resume it might be a waste of time. You are better off padding your knees and sucking dick.
