I'm putting this in the Inbox.exe so maybe we get an answer from Wendel and Logan, as this is tech related, but ofcourse i'd like to hear everyones input.
Have any of you guys taken any online courses? What are your thoughts on the subject? I know where i live (Serbia), this sort of thing might be laughed at, but hopefully in more developed countries people appreciate it more.It just seems a fun way to learn.
I ran across https://www.edx.org/ , and it seems awesome from what i can tell so far. I already signed up for a course called "age of globalization". It starts on the 1st of september, so once it starts i'll put some more info on here about my experience.
Looks pretty good. I have experience in online courses, not from universities tough.
And I have to say that when you are learning stuff like this it proves that you are motivated and intrested in learning so you will probably benefit a great deal out of it.
Tomi, they are suppose to work in a way where you learn at your own pace, so give it a shot!
@Simo_Ahola I was always a bad to average student, but recently started feeling like i should start doing something. Keeping busy, learning new stuff, having fun at the same perhaps too. My motivation came mostly out of boredom lol
Most schools I've been in have practically forced me to learn in a certain pace, which is that I barely keep up. Most of my classmates I've had have not kept up and had to redo the courses. I know you are supposed to do it in your own pace, but there are schools here that keep you from doing it and think that you can do it if we force you to. It's not good, but that's how it is.
