It is common course page are publically available on Internet with a list of litterature used. Lectures recorded from actual classes are probably a very good for economical reasons, it is one way communication anyway so money or time of professor could be better spent answering questions for example via E-mail. Classes are more useful as you could discuss with others, help each other and ask questions to the teacher provided teacher do not speak to much of the time. > What you don't get is a diploma or a degree.

Have taken courses more less by studying for myself and attend the written exam. In my last exam they had been able to span the course very well in just a few questions, I passed but did not get good grade, this is partly because I had other priorities work full time, fix a few things at my home, spent quite much time on night clubs as I live alone. A written exam you have to take in person, sometimes there is a given task you have to do in group and I guess this might be harder to check as some members could get away with very little effort spent on it. > MIT was one of the first to do this, and still does. > https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm Think they had or have some kind of cooperation with University there I studied. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
