Anyone here taking any courses from Coursera.org ?
They provide free courses from some of the top universities like Duke/Stanford etc.. You enroll in a course and weekly they put up videos which you have to watch and there are exercises (MCQs) which you have to attempt to ensure you understood what was taught in the videos. 3-4 weeks later a quiz is conducted which is graded by the professor. Over the time period of the course, there are several quizzes and your score on those Quizzes determine whether you pass the course.
If you pass, you get a certificate. Pretty cool.. Most of the courses are around 5-10 weeks long. Great initiative by these guys!
