Not sure if you guys heard about this, but Stanford University is offering a lot of computer science courses to the public for free.

Computer Science 101 http://www.cs101-class.org/
Machine Learning http://jan2012.ml-class.org/
Software as a Service http://www.saas-class.org/
Human-Computer Interaction http://www.hci-class.org/
Natural Language Processing http://www.nlp-class.org/
Game Theory http://www.game-theory-class.org/
Probabilistic Graphical Models http://www.pgm-class.org/
Cryptography http://www.crypto-class.org/

Also two courses that aren't related to computer science but also interesting:

The Lean Launchpad http://www.launchpad-class.org/
Technology Entrepreneurship http://www.venture-class.org/

I believe the courses start in January.

who would possibly study anything if they don't get credits for it?

Crappy courses, but thanks for the advice.

great find. just enrolled into CS, language processing, and game theory. thanks a bunch, OP!

I go to a school better than Standford. Won't need this but thanks for the post OP.

>> No.4053763

do they send you an email? How does this work? I signed up for game theory and I want to for others but how is this gonna work?

>> No.4053770

Any idea how long these courses run for? I'm free up until about March, but after that I have other shit on.

for engineering, this doesn't exist. maybe if you go to MIT, CMU or Berkeley you are on par with them

holy fuck, i signed up for an artificial intelligence course from a thread on /sci/ and forgot about it.

Thanks, OP!
Enrolled for CS.

I think they send you an email with an assignment that you have to turn in one week later. Don't know how long they last, but they can't be very long.

For undergraduate engineering its the same shit anywhere. University only matters at masters level.

they're all online

>> No.4054030

so you sign up, but are you graded or anything, how does it work?

>> No.4054070

Welp. I'm already completely messing up on the courses that started earlier. Lost interest after the first week of AI, since it was pretty underwhelming, let myself lose track of the schedule for all three courses, and know I have no idea what to do with the second week's questions on Baye's theorem, which I honestly thought I had a better grasp of before now. I still want to learn the material, but I think I ought to try find a book I can get online so I can actually read about it.

>>4054030
as far as i know they send you email, probably containing all of the information you need to read and shit
then give you an assignment
and you one week to turn it in

If trolling, 6/10

If you're not, get the fuck out.


Also, OP, they added Design and Analysis of Algorithms.

Thanks OP, Im going to sign up for the game theory class. It will supplement my game theory class I am taking next semester.

I'm taking 2-3 courses along with my courses for next semester.

What day do classes start in January?

Thanks man. More stuff to learn.

Oh yeah, this is currently running but it'll probably be re-run in the future

It's from Standford, too. My friend sent it to me a while ago but I haven't really checked it out. If classes are slow this quarter I'll actually do it :P
