It’s almost over…

It’s been 10 week since the course started. More then 120000 people are enrolled, a small percentage are till now stay to the final. Those who earned a 60% in the overall marks are not need to do the week 11 & 12 but you can have lose some items in the final.

In the discussion forum Jouquard tell a important thing about the remain week and final, i just copy-paste this

“For the moment (until MIT can certify your identity and knowledge in a testing center under the same conditions as an MIT student taking the exams), the only value of the course is what you learn. Your score and the certificate, other than the personal satisfaction and the motivation they provide you, are otherwise completely worthless to everyone else. It won’t get you a job; it won’t get you into MIT or elsewhere.

(Some people will use their score to brag, but is anyone really impressed?)

So to answer your question: if you don’t do weeks 11 and 12, you won’t learn about filters and operational amplifiers. Should you be at a party (warning: this is tongue in cheek — I actually don’t expect this topic to come up), and you’re trying to impress someone with your knowledge about circuits and electronics, you might be a little embarrassed should op amps or filtering come up. You will feel really, really small.

So do weeks 11 and 12 with the same seriousness as you did 1 through 10.

And now a question for you: should those who already have 60 out of the total 100 points bother taking the final, since they’ve already qualified for a certificate? That’s a rhetorical question, as the answer should be obvious. (Just in case you are unsure, the answer is “yes”.)

The final can have been taken between 4th to 6th june. week 13 & 14 have only lecture sequences, not the assignments. It’s been fun, don’t u 😉

Midterm is over !

After 5 days of waiting the midterm is over. It contain just some simple question from the homework and workout example. It’s not so hard, just have to spend some time to thinking. All credit goes to Dr. Agarwal and his stuff. Staff solutions will be available next week , it’s been said that all of your are encouraged to discuss the problems that you thought were particularly hard on the discussion forum. It is just halfway through the course. Study and be ready for the final grade.

Do follow the collaboration rule ….. It’s all about your satisfaction not the grade

It’s been seen that some of the students just post about help them with several midterm question in case the full midterm solution are posted in some facebook MITx group and other forums. Mind that its an open book exam having 24 hours, you can have help from the text book, related discussion, tutorial or the given lectures. Don’t copy others answer to your checkbox. It all about your understanding in the related topics adn  he exam is supposed to grade your understanding, not the understanding of some random collaborator. If you cannot get to grips with the material then you don’t get the marks… that’s how exams work!

The 6.002x completion certificate has been rendered utterly valueless on a CV because of illicit collaboration on all the graded stages, so the only point in doing the course is to learn something and for our own satisfaction.

It does not matter that those who get the same certificate as you at the end of the course, it’s what knowledge you gain and how you are able to apply it that counts.

So be honest with your satisfaction .

GOOD LUCK
