  • Udemy team - Why should an update go on Friday, now it seems no resolution till Monday.

  • Honestly, it's concerning that you still haven't resolved this issue.

  • Same here. My courses were 4.5+ rating but now they are 3.8.

    As far as I am concerned old reviews rotate out after a certain time. So if you had a rating of 4.xx and old reviews that did drag down the average rotated out of the calculation, your ratings would rise. If old good reviews rotated out so that more less-good ones remain, the final score would decline.

  • Hi @Voider2049 So, if you haven't had any reviews in the last X months, this means that your course will be rated at 0. Does this make sense? IIt's clear that there's a problem, and Udemy is looking into it.

  • @Abderrazzaq Kharroubi yes, if all your reviews that made the score are too old and rotate out while you didn't get any new ones in the meantime, the score would be 0 as there are no eligible reviews available to make a score.

    I think it's 12 months, after then reviews rotate out of the calculation.

  • My ratings are back to normal today! (where they were at before the bug)

  • Now everything is ok. Thanks Udemy team.
