I'm pretty sure its a mistake to think the free online CS education won't require alot of 'slogging' to have any value
the benefit you have is that you have real life humans, who hold office hours, and will answer question in real time, when your slog gets tough
ultimately though, you'll be judged on what you know, not where you learned it
- dikaiosune 11y agoFor me at least, the "slog" is not the work (I absolutely love writing code and learning CS), it's the organizational side: showing up to scheduled events (group meetings, I take online classes), completing designated assignments with little to no room for creativity, etc. That's a bit different than assuming a Coursera/edX path is a free ride. You just get a lot more autonomy.
