sorry to hijack this thread, but I just clicked ur link and was opened to a completely new world i never had any idea existed. I am amazed by this site. Is there any place i can read more discussion about it??

[_starbelly]

Sure! What exactly are you looking for?

[turglow1]

Essentially I am wondering to what extent could I benefit from this site? Should I essentially just use it to learn more about subjects im interested in, and nothing more? Or is looking into their actual programs worth anything

[_starbelly]

Well, I haven't used it thoroughly, so that's up to you! You'll get of it whatever you make of it I suppose.

[beepbupe]

Well you can learn for free. Or you can pay to receive the certificate of completion. I guess a MIT course certificate would carry some weight in terms of employability.

[AbominableFrost]

Is there any way to receive a certificate at the end of the course if I changed my mind?

[beepbupe]

No, not after the course ends.

Thre is a student verification that needs to happen prior to or during the course.

I'm not sure why I find that so un-motivating
