/sci/ I realised during my time in college that virtually all learning can be done via distance. I came out with a first class degree in engineering whilst only going in physically for group work and exams. This makes me realise that the knowledge acquired during a degree can be got for virtually free using internet and library resources, however the structure and syllabi provided by the school were actually useful and gave good direction for progress.

My question is, where can one find reading lists, syllabi and possibly exams for various college level courses? A good variety would be nice as well (math, physics, history, philosophy, medicine and everything in between)

OK buddy. I was paying for accreditation, structure and library resources. Spending 3 hours covering topics at the groups pace, instead of your on and focussing on what troubles you, is not the best way to learn.

Thanks for the suggestions but I'm not really looking for 10 minute youtube videos, but rather lists of recommended reading, maybe module notes and slideshows, a syllabus that has expected outcomes, and other stuff that helps guide you to a good understanding of a subject.

Not to sound ungrateful, these look interesting and I'll no doubt watch them.

How do you even study with schizophrenia? Most schizophrenics drop out. Without meds you surely can't study but after taking the meds the negative symptoms will hinder your cognitive performance.

ok, i clearly dont understand how it works. but my understanding was that theres a computer program that, yeh, is very fucking complicated, but it just generates them. you solve the math equation, you get a coin. simples.
problem is, it takes a LOT of computer power. that's why you need like a supercomputer or botnet to get this shit done (to any meaningful value)
i was told i could potentially do it on my own shitty PC, but i'd be generating practically nothing, and it'd take up the processing power, so i was like, fuck that, theres better ways to make money without turning my comp into a fucking worthless brick for the duration.
