Online Education: What are the best free online courses? (MIT's OCW, Stanford's SEE) The Future of Education | OverExpressed. The most depressing class I ever took was freshman intro chemistry. Granted, it was advanced intro chemistry (oxymoronic, but that’s how the course identifications work at MIT; extra numbers = harder, extra letters = easier). So this was 5.112 (as opposed to the standard introductory 5.111).
So why was it so depressing? I had learned the majority of this stuff already in my high school AP Chemistry course. The sad part came when I realized I had forgotten a significant amount of the material I had mastered only a couple of years earlier. My high school instruction was better than the equivalent MIT instruction for this particular course.I can forget something pretty quickly, particularly if I’m not using it regularly. This really marked a turning point in my education. This obviously is not efficient. Education will be Personal This is what we were all told in third grade while taking those silly tests to determine our learning style. Interactive Learning will Take Over.
