If you ever reach a point where you just don't want to learn anymore you might as well plant yourself and give something a chance to grow off your remains.

If you aren't growing then you aren't living.

Wow! I almost forget what the OP topic is. I'd like to have your quote in my signature.

Exactly right. When I stop larnin', ah start dyin'. That's how it was told to me. Wise words.

okay now I must ask...

Do I get any credit for completion?

Because I would love the recognition...

Or am I simply... reading endlessly to gain no credits? I do that now... I mean, don't get me wrong a nice structure for learning topics I would gladly use this...

But is their any gain in terms of grade and credit?

For many MIT online courses you must buy textbooks written by the instructors at astronomical prices. I have not checked the course materials for these courses yet to see if that is the case.

What a great web site. Thanks for the information. This is something that can actually be quite useful for many people. Great Find S & F for sure.

wow! thank u so much for bringing this site to my attention, Ive already seen a few im going to check out.

SnF!!!!

Bravo for this thread!
Also the synchronicity is amazing!
Was taking extensive notes about an essay on how we can re-introduce the internet to young people and the different ways programs etc people can use to communicate with each other for various reasons and how this social experience is totally different from what we were used to as a society until now in regards to communication and decided to check ATS and saw this.
I found at least 2 relevant courses!

I especially like this one, although I believe the theory of chaos is very intrusive on anyone who thinks that there should be naturally occuring order in every step of life.

Awesome!

Note that course also requires MATLAB which is not free and damn I really wanted to check it out, been playing with fourier transform a bit recently and have no idea what I was doing (programming frequency detection software) so it piqued my interest.

still good site tho!

Why is this on the front page of a conspiracy theory website?

Just wondering.

#81 How to Stage a Revolution: Learn all about radical revolutions, coup d’etats and terror in this course. [MIT]

Otherwise known as

How to make it on the DHS, FBI, and NSA watchlists with one simple click of your mouse. [MIT]

That is the whole problem with schools and jobs in society today. It's funny to me that they are actually called credits. We are constantly looking for credit for the work we've done, when the point is to learn and grow. You will in time get what you wanted out of what you learned. Let's quit feeding the ego. Just felt that should be said. Cheers.

Absolutely fantastic. I am just starting an open uni degree in Philosophy and Psychology yet it does not start for months, this is great for me to start and get a bit of studying under my belt before it begins, some very interesting topics.

Thank You OP

Peace

Knowledge should be free. I'm glad an educational organization finally realized that.


Cheers,
Strype



P.S. On second thought, I'm not glad. It's actually quite pathetic that we're forced to pay for knowledge in the first place.

Starred & Flagged for being

a) educative
b) fun

Thanks.
