“I am a computer enthusiast and I always
wanted to attend an institute of higher
level, but then I found a job with shift
work very hard, which does not allow me
to attend.
In addition, the high costs that I could
not support, having lost my dad at 13 and
having to help with household expenses,
were prohibitive.
So I decided to remain a self learner and
I went in against a big problem: which
sources are reliable and which are not?
Internet is immense and the risk of
getting the wrong information is high …
As I became aware of MIT OPENCOURSEWARE
I was delighted to find an authoritative
source where I could find a lot of
information for free. It’s really a
fantastic idea and I thank all the
teachers who volunteered to share
their knowledge.”
