Ive watched a bunch of MIT courses online. Its cool to get a different point of view from my current professors.
Just my 2 cents.
I can see your point. I use them in addition to my actual classes I go to though.
Most go way too fast and introduce material in an order that is not meant for novices.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I agree. That is my experience with these courses. They are not meant for novices. But...I think that will soon change in response to demand.
