If you want to take the course at ...Yes and no. :-)<br />If you want to take the course at the same pace with other people, do the assignments/quizzes/... within the same deadlines and be scored the same way (quizzes are usually scored so that if you are past the original deadlines you get a lower score), possibly receiving a certificate of completion at the end of the course, then you must follow the course timeline. I just started Computational Investing, for example, and I have assignments due this Sunday.<br /><br />The other way to look at things is to ignore the timelines and watch the content (and maybe do the assignments) for courses that have already started. The content is already there and all you have to do is enroll and start watching the videos. This is what is called 'auditing' a course if I understand it right.<br /><br />Personally, I try to follow the schedule but each one has his/her rhythm.<br /><br />The course dates can be found on https://www.coursera.org/courses<br /><br />Hope this helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13692259403489890253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7443410490691616054.post-17538701066315394992012-10-25T21:46:30.885-04:002012-10-25T21:46:30.885-04:00Hey Fernando, thanks for sharing your experience.
...Hey Fernando, thanks for sharing your experience.<br /><br />I have a question: You mentioned that "all courses have a scheduled date ... but perhaps over time Coursera might offer a more 'on-demand' model". Does it mean that each course can only be taken during a specific time-frame?<br /><br />TIA<br />Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14511538776498249475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7443410490691616054.post-77263002468411002632012-10-19T13:26:38.751-04:002012-10-19T13:26:38.751-04:00May I add cosmolearning to your list...May I add cosmolearning to your list...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
