Will this course be offered again in the future?
I am currently writing my exams for university and will be unable to do the homework until April 25th. I was wondering if the course will be offered again in the future and is there a certificate for completing this course?

We made a conscious decision not to do certification. We consider the goal of taking the online course not to be "credit." Rather, it is to learn the material on one's own for those who would otherwise not have access to the course lectures and material. |

Hi!
I am signed up to the online course of the now winter term 2013, and similarly to the original poster, I am also finding myself in kind of a time-bind right now.. My question, thus, is again if this course will be offered as a parallel session in the future, with homework, deadlines etc? While I really appreciate the opportunity to study the material on my own at a later time, I think having deadlines for homework really makes one put in that extra effort to master the subject, which will be appreciated after completion of the course! :) Thank you for very informative and entertaining lectures!

Since this is the first time the course is offered as a Caltech Parallel Session, it is too early to tell how this will work out and if it will be offered again in this format. I agree with you that doing the course in a regular session with deadlines and classmates discussing the same material and problems at the same time has distinct advantages, so I hope that regular sessions will be offered again in the future. However, I cannot promise since it depends on a number of unknown factors, including other commitments that may preclude the time needed to do this right. |

Thank you for you fast response!
I will try to find the time somehow then, as I would not want to pass up this opportunity. Thank you again, Amanda |
Re: Will this course be offered again in the future?
Is there any more information about whether this course will be offered again in the future? I want to recommend it to my friends. In fact, I can say that of the nine MOOCs I've taken (good grief, that's a lot) this one is by far the best taught. It's just terrific.
I can understand if it's impossible to offer it again. If so, I'll just have realize how lucky I was to be part of it. Thank you so much. |
