I just got done taking a Highlights of Modern Astronomy course on Coursera last week, and it was the most comfortable learning experience ever. Being able to do things whenever one wants within the space of an entire week is the best! The course was 4 weeks long. There were a set of video lectures, a couple of optional exercises, and a quiz, for every week. Which I mostly did between 1am-6am on whatever day I felt like it. 0 reasons to adhere to a diurnal schedule. 0 anxiety. 0 complaints.

Passed with distinction. Now I'm just waiting on the final deadline to pass so the course record can be updated to show my achievement, and for them to mail me my certificate!

I'm ---> <--- this much closer to being on a level of awesomeness on par with my role models, namely (you need an account to see links) and (you need an account to see links).

So, have you guys taken any MOOCs? If so, what kind and where?
