This week marks the beginning. I am starting 3 courses. Nadia started Standford's Game Theory with (on separate time) me. My two other courses are Duke's Evolution and Caltech's Galaxies & Cosmology.
Cosmology professor is a master of hypnosis. I fell asleep multiple times on the subway. Yes. These courses are in video format and I have them transferred to my phone. Never waste time while commuting. That's a little more than 1/5th of my urban life. This is why though I can have a driver's license, I would be very very reluctant to drive in this city.
Coursera courses being considered for ACE credits.
Since some courses aren't geared for learning (boringly reciting text books or formulas without any explanations), I've dropped/un-enrolled several courses:
1. George Djorgovski's Galaxies and Cosmology (Caltech)
2. Dan Boneh's Cryptography I (Standford) <-- There maybe some hope for this one...but I do not have time now. 3. Jeffrey S. Moore, Nicholas Llewellyn's Organic Chemistry Part 1 (Univ. Illinois) These professors are the reason why we sometimes prefer just reading the books ourselves. I think they are assuming these coursera courses are for those who have no money to buy books.
