Free Stanford Online Courses: Databases, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning
I am becoming convinced day by day that Stanford is the greatest institution of higher education in the world. Rarely do I hear anything negative about the school and often do I hear things that are very positive. I am thoroughly impressed with their apparent to educate the world.
My Frustration with BYU
With a title like this, I imagine most people expect me to post something about the Honor Code or some other draconian rule. To be honest: the Honor Code almost never interferes with what I'm doing anyway. I've actually come to appreciate it. The only way it really affects me in an (arguably) adversely manner is that it forces me to shave before I go to the testing center or to play intramural sports. Other than that, it doesn't interfere with anything. On the flip-side, it means all of your professors inherently trust you. For my computer science final, my teacher just handed us the paper and told us not to cheat and let us turn it any time that week. He just told us to remember the Honor Code and that was that. I can't see that happening at many universities. In that respect, I love the Honor Code.
