Answer 1

yo meissler!

Answer 2

yo. started this thread by accident. oh well.

Answer 3

Haha, where are you from?

Answer 4

from Philly, living in SF now. What about you?

Answer 5

Oh nice. Philly, good place. I'm in Atlanta. You working out in SF? The valley?

Answer 6

I'm working in SF.. medical research. pellet sucks though. Tryin to learn how to code cause I feel like it could potentially open some doors

Answer 7

haha, yea no doubt. Learning programming could definitely help in SF. How's the course coming along? What's it missing?

Answer 8

well I just started a couple days ago so I'm not sure if I can say yet. I haven't been watching the videos cause I feel that they're probably just a reiteration of what you read.

Answer 9

right, yeah some of it is definitely a redundant. The problem sets is where you proof in the pudding comes out in my opinion.

Answer 10

Things like this, where you give/get feedback from people are much more conducive to learning

Answer 11

yeah for sure, have you seen the older version of OpenStudy. I think they are testing this new one out. The old version has like over 6K people in the study group...it is ridiculous. How do you like this though?

Answer 12

this is the older one:

http://openstudy.com/study-groups/MIT+6.0+Intro+Computer+Science+(OCW)

Answer 13

I saw it a couple months ago when I was gonna try the course, but I forget it. For some reason I feel like the old way was better though. This has too much of a twitter feel to it and it's not organized

Answer 14

yeah, I feel ya. How would you organize it?

Answer 15

Something more on the lines of a forum would be a whole lot nicer. Much more organized.

Answer 16

Problem set/exam sections, break things down by maybe lecture or topic

Answer 17

the number of repeated threads would be reduced too

Answer 18

yeah the thing I like about this is that I know where you are and know what everyone is doing. Forums, you post something and hopefully "someone" see it.

Answer 19

true

Answer 20

I've written them a couple emails to have them put a schedule function on here.

Answer 21

To help organize the people, not the content

Answer 22

do you work for them or you're just takin the class?

Answer 23

I'm a Ga Tech student... but I know some of the interns and prof who started it

Answer 24

oh nice

Answer 25

yeah, did you go to undergrad in philly?

Answer 26

yea, just graduated from Penn in the spring. Now I realized that a science major wasn't the way to go.

Answer 27

sucks because on paper it looks like I'm not qualified for much, ya know? While people had internships that make them qualified for a lot of positons, I was in a lab.

Answer 28

not a bad uni thou :)

Answer 29

true. Just wish I did something else when I was there cause my major isn't gonna help with anything.

Answer 30

Answer 31
