The Piazza post isn't publicly viewable, but I'm surprised you had this experience at MIT. The majority of classes I took had a ton of materials online and there were few instances where I felt I needed to go to class purely because of an attendance policy or a reluctance to share materials. Office hours are designed to be 1 on 1 for educational reasons, but other students collaborating at office hours (or outside of them) was encouraged on psets. I wouldn't expect any of this to be worse post-COVID either. Maybe a course 8 issue? But I'd be sad to hear this was the case now with 6 or 18 because it certainly wasn't in the past (and MIT was way ahead of peer institutions on this historically, in large part due to OCW)
- eltonlin 3y agoAh I didn't realize the Piazza post isn't publicly viewable, thanks for telling me. I recreated it as a screenshot now https://imgur.com/gallery/GtuF78M https://imgur.com/gallery/GtuF78M This is a course 6 issue mainly. Course 8 and 18 I've had generally good experiences with (but I'm a course 6 major). As for OCW, I think it "looks" complete, but it's actually not very useful because so much material is missing e.g. no pset, no solutions, only lectures but no notes, only lecture notes but no recitations, etc. etc. which is why I know Aayush and Ashay are working on https://mitsoul.org/ https://mitsoul.org/ Anyway, thanks for your comment!
