> The class is being run during MIT’s “Independent Activities Period” in January 2020 — a one-month semester that features shorter student-run classes. While the lectures themselves are only available to MIT students, we will provide all lecture materials along with video recordings of lectures to the public.
It seems that the course is only 1 month and runs alongside some student-run classes. So this is from the get go not an essential course of a CS program.
- ghaff 4y agoThere's quite a broad mix of offerings during IAP--a lot of which isn't part of a regular academic program and a lot of which is just for fun/intellectual interest. It's mostly all non-credit. And there are a fair number of sessions dealing with practical details that may not be covered in regular courses.
