And I have to tell you, guys, how much a thrill I feel with these online courses. As a comp. eng. student in brazil, being able to watch classes from stanford and berkely, but not only this, being able to attend classes given by the guys who wrote the books I study with ( Sedgewick and Ullman, for example) makes me very excited and happy. I love living in the 2000!
I think it's better than the AI class I did the first go around.
The best of these classes for me so far, though, is the MITx class on circuits and electronics. The professor is fantastic- great at explaining things and obviously having fun teaching the class. The homework is challenging, at least for me, and I feel like I'm learning a huge amount. Very very pleased with that one.
I see some overlap among the Algorithms classes: Algorithms I,II from Princeton and Design and Analysis of Algorthms I(there will be II?) from Stanford. I don't think that's a good thing... what's the point?
There was an email sent on Jan 29 announcing a delay, but I haven't seen anything else since then.
Anyone else already a drop-out? Feels bad, man.
The statistics one also looks very good.
>The scientists, Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller, taught free Web-based courses through Stanford last year that reached more than 100,000 students.
ONLY Andrew Ng taught a free online Machine Learning course last year.
Does anyone know for sure?
The difference between Courser, Udacity and MITx, from iTunesU , earth academic and the others is that they prime for being a 'real' class. You have deadlines, exercises, projects and so on. And you can interact with your peers.
