>'The end result was that you were constantly getting immediate feedback about how well you understand the material...It really removed the stress of the class and gave me an opportunity to focus on the material itself, instead of worrying about how I would do on the tests.' Interestingly, this is exactly what I like so much about the best MOOCs I've completed. Assigned exercises typically allow multiple attempts and provide immediate feedback during and after completion. This is in stark contrast to my local University experience where everything is single attempt with the exception of papers where a single draft submission might be allowed. Needless to say, I find the former far superior for learning.
