A lot of MIT OCW courses have all of those aside from the autograders, but the reason I prefer OCW to Coursera is because OCW is self-paced.
Many Coursera courses move very slowly (not their fault since they're taking thousands of students), or move too fast and have too much "homework" for a 9-5er. What's worse, some don't let you get ahead! With OCW I can set my own times and pace myself for my kind of learning.
I also prefer college lectures and books to Coursera lectures. Like you said, Coursera content can be too simple.
- jacalata 11y agoMost of the Coursera courses I take are actual college courses, like this algorithms one - https://class.coursera.org/algs4partI-009 https://class.coursera.org/algs4partI-009 They are a lot of work to keep up with, but the good ones have deadlines about a month past the 'end' of the course so you can work at a much slower pace.
