Can I put Coursera courses on resume?

I am thinking of taking a few data science, computer science, and finance courses offered by Coursera. Can I put them on my resume or cover letter?

Just out of curiosity? Do you get graded in these courses?

I'd put them at the bottom where you typically list things like outside interests and computer languages; I wouldn't include them in the "education" section of my resume.

it depends. some coursera courses actually give you certifications and grades. some do not.

I have observed that employers don't pay too much attention on all those courses/certification which employees take from eDx, Coursera, Udacity. However, it's always good to put on your resume which shows that you are eager to learn new techniques and apply those in real world. Putting all those skills on professional networking site should be more helpful in order to grab attention of recruiters/hiring professionals.
