However, you don't get any credit, or a degree. So it doesn't really matter whether the classes you drop in on are Ivy League or not, just that you are learning enough to make it worth your time. You won't be able to validate your knowledge of the course material later with anything but a personal demonstration.
- milkshakes 16y agoFair point. Most of the classes I drop in on are large, lecture based classes, where I'm going more for the lecturer than for the validation. In some cases (CS courses), it's really the peers/TAs that matter more than the lecturers. Of course, gaining trust and access with them is trickier than just showing up to a lecture, but it's definitely not impossible :)
- RossM 16y agoI'd say the hardest part about attending a lab session would be getting a computer account (assuming the computers are networked). I'm sure I've seen students that don't attend lectures (presumably looking at them at home) but are there in the lab sessions.
