    Cool, but where’s the accreditation? At least Coursera has a bit of accreditation. Accreditation is very important. I quit my last college after 3 semesters because it was basically a meme college. It was very close to our home though. I’m going back after 5 years, not to the meme college, but to a much more accredited college. The special thing about this college is that it’s a state college (‘state’ referring to the country, I am not from US), and it’s got good rankings (+1000 but I never aimed for much!) but it’s very, very cheap because for non-lab classes, it’s basically “here’s a bunch of books, study them, and come back for tests”! I know this ‘seems’ like a meme college, but it’s truly not. It’s very accredited. That is why OP’s course might just help me. I have been studying like mad for the past 3 months. So I starred this. All this being said can e summed up in a single ‘thank you’. And an advice to others, go [back] to college. It’s the only way to get a job these days. The days of “self-taught wiz-kid” are over. Don’t worry if you are in your mid-20s, or early-30s like I am. Or even mid-30s or even if you are at death’s door. College is great.
