Anyone else use this website? I'm starting an intro to philosophy class in 12 days, and mathematical thinking class in March. |

I usually take the free courses offered by individual universities, but these don't offer coursework, and you don't feel like you're actually learning "from" the professor rather than just listening to their pre-recorded lectures, and you don't really have interaction with the professors or other students. It's also at your own pace, so there's nothing really to hold you to complete the course. This is perfect for me. Time constraints are what motivate me to complete something like this! I have already signed up for two courses! |

"Every kid starts out as a natural-born scientist, and then we beat it out of them. A few trickle through the system with their wonder and enthusiasm for science intact." - Carl Sagan This is the response of the defenders of Sparta to the Commander of the Roman Army: "If you are a god, you will not hurt those who have never injured you. If you are a man, advance - you will find men equal to yourself. And women. |

10/10/2013 6:53:51 AM Posted: 7 years ago There are many online colleges and universities that are really not existing but are offering numerous services so the students need to make sure that whenever they go for an online college or degree program they do proper research and also make sure that they are accredited.

There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge; that is Curiosity. There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is Vanity. There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve; that is Love." - Bernard of Clairvaux |
