How do the courses on Coursera work? Can a person do a course merely by watching the videos after it closes?

Is it possible to review old courses and take them at my own pace, or are they completely gone once they are done?

It depends. Some courses are operating on a schedule and once they're closed you can't access the materials. Other courses operate on a schedule but have elected to keep their materials open.
