They're not quite as meaty as I'd like, however, or perhaps it's just that at this point in my education I like tons more context with my information, so for each unit I like to do searches for other iTunes U lectures and materials, and then I end up going down a bunch of other rabbit trails of related topics that interest me...<br /><br />So, yeah, self-paced is good!juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-26246672501857738872013-08-08T23:40:36.252-04:002013-08-08T23:40:36.252-04:00Your classes sound way more interesting. I am work...Your classes sound way more interesting. I am working on a marketing management degree. I am taking classes for 3 reasons. <br />1. I always wanted to get a degree<br />2. I qualify for VA Voc Rehab so I'd just be throwing the education away if I didn't use it.<br />3. I get paid to go to school, which helps pay the bills.<br /><br />If I could have chosen any degree it would have been in bee keeping, or horse training, or organic farming. But, I was really limited in what the government would pay for, so I went with marketing management. I get to take classes like business law, statistics, and a ton of other business type classes. The good news is that I will be finished in about 2 years, as the classes are all on-line and the terms are 8 weeks long. <br /><br />How do the MIT classes work? Do you get graded, are they free, are they self paced?Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611764295297526639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-47036481965449486472013-08-08T12:29:30.431-04:002013-08-08T12:29:30.431-04:00I'd love to hear more about what classes you&#...I'd love to hear more about what classes you're going to take. I've recently-ish started taking MIT OpenCourse classes in some areas that I've been studying with the girls--biology, etc.--and I am having a blast. Who knew cell function was so interesting?!?juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-11677673433648381512013-08-08T11:52:05.326-04:002013-08-08T11:52:05.326-04:00I wish I was being more productive. I have one wee...I wish I was being more productive. I have one week (of three) left of my summer break from on-line classes and I feel like I haven't gotten anything done. <br />Although the dehydrator hasn't stopped running since we borrowed it about a week ago.
