> "It helped me learn how to learn" … Raised in the USA, I was extremely fortunate (so many students here and abroad miss out on the sheer good luck of getting several really great teachers in back-to-back succession in school) to have been exposed to some really amazing teachers early in life who taught this exact lesson. Their view of teaching was that if they taught students how to rely on rote book-learning without teaching an accompanying "thirst for knowledge" and the tools to gain that knowledge, then they'd failed at their job as teachers. When these universities first started releasing so much of their courseware openly like this, I viewed it as one of the great triumphs of the modern Internet, and a huge boon for humanity. I am glad that humanity now has such an abundance of great learning materials available so readily, and saddened by how few humans choose to avail themselves of such opportunity.
