Question

How do i follow the course online? Do i view two lecture videos a week and complete the required Problem sets?

Answer 1

To follow the course you do a lecture and then after most lectures you have a problem set that is due for the next lecture. There are also readings that correspond to the each lecture. To know when you should do the psets check the calender on the mit website, http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-fall-2008/calendar/. There is no 2 lectures per week min or anything you go at your own pace. If you wanna rush through and finish the course in a week its up to you or you can take your time.
