What is fake about this? And who prevents you from listening to MIT lectures, if you choose to?
- triyambakam 4y agoWell it's not fake, but I don't have confidence that I'd learn anything from it. If I am going to perform a box checking exercise, I'd rather learn something. And you're right, I have indeed listened to MIT lectures, but that doesn't give me a degree.
- foolinaround 4y agook, so then one should'nt have used the word 'fake' - and if one does'nt know the material, there will obviously be something to learn from. An argument can be made that MIT's material is qualitatively better, but still, the smarter choice might be to get the credentialling from WGU and the materials from MIT at a lower overall cost. and I am pretty sure there needs to be a lot of self-motivation to get this done, which in itself should be a good signal to future employers. Not all jobs need cutting CS research.
