@ShaheenShah- Were you able to access the reading/study material?

anonymous · Answer

@April... Well, there seems no video/audio material (has unzipped it) I checked : http://ocw.mit.edu/help/faq-technology/#t3 When we click the start.htm, it redirects to the index.htm (the home page)...may be a mail should be sent to OCW to double check

anonymous · Answer

Yes, you are right. I think this course doesn't have any video lectures, and only the material to be accessed are the links given in the home page-study material section. This course is about getting a hang of reading scientific articles and there are assignments for each week.
