Love the idea, and how it exposes the absurd rip-off of american higher education. $60K a year to waste time on the internet? That's what you do in most classes anyway. I seriously love this guy. He and UPenn are just flagrantly robbing all these rich, Ivy League kids' parents. Now I really don't feel bad about Googling the course material the 10 minutes before the MIT classes I TA'd.
- autokad 12y agoI go to UPenn. I grew up with a single parent making less than 15k a year, but that is less important then the fact that I find classes at Upenn incredibly rewarding in both education and improving my industry skills. Its an undergrad class ENG 111 (15 seats), so I imagine those who take it costs them around 3600$, so its hardly fair to say they are spending 60k to waste time on the internet. Who knows, maybe people who take it find it rewarding / helpful.
- untilHellbanned 12y agoOf course, focusing on details. It is more about spending money on something that you can easily do for free. This was not to pick on UPenn. Rather it was more to point out the irony of this professor's class when thinking about the value of American college education.
