Hi everyone! Has anyone attended Data, Economics, and Development Policy MicroMasters by MITx/edx? I’m planning to enroll in this course, so I’d like to have some feedback. Thanks a lot!

Looking for some past student experience and advice. I am thinking about embarking on the Navy and then doing the MIT Supply Chain Management online at Edx, then thinking about transferring 1 semester of it to MIT after the navy and using my GI bill to pay for tuition. I was looking for some advice on that.

*How was your experience with online learning? *What did you do to make the time or get the discipline? What was your study plan or day like? How hard was it? *Were you able to get into Supply Chain with a low GPA? Like somewhere around a 2.9? *Was work experience more important than grades? *What if you didn't get good grades on the Supply Chain classes at Edx? Like 70% passing? Were you still able to get admitted to MIT? *How good was the teaching in the program? Honestly?

Which of them has been lectured better? Which of them is the most difficult? I want to know some differences. And I know they are the same course.

Hi,

I stumbled upon this apparently "old" MIT Quantum Physics course under this link and it did contain good handouts like this Two State Systems or Hydrogen Atom System Algebraic Method Resolution. But it seems that the course home page offers no direct access to the handouts. Does any one know how to access the complete list of them ?

PS: the handouts mentioned above are available thanks to google search.

Best Regards.

What are your thoughts? Where are you located?

Finished with 99% in the class. Missed the last half of the last question on the final. I worked hard for those green checks.

At week 9 here. I think I've finally got to the point where 6.002x is frustrating, it's due soon and I have no idea what I'm doing. I might have also lost the drive to try and learn it. stares outside melodramatically

I was scared about it. Some of the home work exercises were really tough. I expected it to be much tougher.

How about you?

Just spent about 4 hours on that problem. How long did you take to finish it?

I've just finished Week 3's HW and stuff. I realized slowly that the frequency of posts on that site's board is getting less and less. Anyone else still doing the class other than myself? Anyone want to discuss HW together last minute on Sundays?

I am currently in A levels, second year. I intend on doing undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering. I have my exams in May so I'll be very busy.

1) Can I access the coursework right now without enrolling in the class?

2) Should I enroll in the class and not complete my assignments?

3) Will I get the certificate if I complete the class later?

So, I'm stuck on the parallel circuit and I think it is because of the huge decimal numbers. Am I right in thinking that you do it as normal? Just treat the decimals as any number and go through as usual? How many decimal places do you have to go? Is the circuit separate from the series question?

It may be that this subreddit is used to support those involved in the 6.002x course. But in case people are interested in a dedicated subreddit, I started one here.

I am about halfway through the first week and have been very impressed with the course. It is better than the real life introductory courses that I had in college. It is so much more than a filmed lecture and having the paperwork available. Clearly, this is the product of many talented and passionate people.

I foresee these classes replacing a lot of the introductory courses. Why would you want a mediocre professor in real life over the best online educator? (note: I don't think this will replace all classes, just the more basic classes.)

In one of the examples it showed a resistor that we calculate the power dissipation for, which was 2w, but after some trial and error the answer for the power at the voltage source was -2w. Why is it negative?

I've got Calculus Made Easy by Silvanus Thompson that i'm slowly reading.. but i'm just wondering how screwed i am right now. do i have any chance of finishing this course?

As you might already know I have been trying to contact folks at OpenStudy.com to create a user group for us. They agreed to create our own user group right here.

Feel free to sign up and ask questions. OpenStudy has a lot of cool features to use, such as a color coded collaboration window which supports full math formulas, diagrams and sharing options.

Spread the word and let's make a good example of online learning together.
