- interconnector 13y agoLooking forward to hearing what Vazirani has to say about D-Wave in the Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computation course.
- rjbond3rd 13y agoPerhaps this is totally beside the point, but: * Usability nitpick 1: The course names are JS hyperlinks which happen to be tab-unfriendly (when non-mobile) * Usability nitpick 2: There's no real search, and the two select's have to be executed serially -- seems like a step backwards to me. * Nothing against the schools that -are- on the list, but "Take great courses from the world's best colleges and universities" seems inflated, if you think about the schools -not- on the list. And given that there -are- great schools on the list, that slogan is trying too hard (to me, anyway).
- hotpockets 13y agoJust fyi, you can tab a link with the "More" link at the end of the descriptions.
- fantnn 13y agoI much prefer Udacity to this and Coursera. I do not have the free time of a dedicated student to adhere to a strict window for assignments and the like. Sometimes, I can't work on the course for weeks at a time, other times I've been able to finish the entire course load in a weekend. Strict time frames are moronic imho
- archarios 13y agoHow many Udacity courses have you actually finished? I'm doing 40 hours a week; and I've finished two Coursera courses. I appreciate having a system that forces me to focus on a single subject for a month or two. I'm too scattered in how my interests sway me otherwise.
- meepmorp 13y ago> I'm too scattered in how my interests sway me otherwise. This is me, too. I have lots of interests and a lot going on in life, so Coursera's time limited approach helps me stay focused on the class. But I could imagine that there are people with different proclivities and time commitments for whom other strategies might work better. It hasn't ever been thus for me - at other times in my life, I would have (and did) chafed at what I now find helpful.
- 0003 13y agoIf you sign up for a coursera course, do you have access after the term ends?
- thetwiceler 13y agoSometimes; it depends on the class.
- vienna_coder 13y agoPersonally, I like the strict schedule, because it forces me to be disciplined. Otherwise I may be lazy :-) I only take one class at a time, though.
- dhawalhs 13y agoHere is a one page view of all the edx courses: http://www.class-central.com/initiative/edx http://www.class-central.com/initiative/edx Looks like some of the dates have changed. I will update them later tonight.
- ErsatzVerkehr 13y agoThis view is much more usable than the official one. Thanks!
- MWil 13y agoCoursera is the only one of these bigger MOOC sites (edX, Udacity, even Udemy) I have yet to try a course from but that is going to change soon because they are offering Constitutional Law with Akhil Reed Amar from Yale and even though I already graduated from law school, I'm interested to see what an online con law class looks like (and of that supposed caliber).
- wf 13y agoScrolling through the list of classes is always so depressing. I want the time to take all of them.
