Has anyone here taken any of the free online college courses offered thru MIT, Stanford, Coursera etc? I have an undergraduate degree in Environmental Engineering and spent my professional career in Software Engineering and general business/management. In the coming year I’m going to have a little more free personal time and I’m considering trying one of these courses and curious to hear anyone’s experience. I’ve done lots of continuous learning over the years- reading blogs and books, listening to talks, plus some formal professional training - but all of a sudden I’m yearning for a classroom and more structured curriculum. The only question I have is whether to do computer science (to satisfy my desire to know the difference between on the job learning and what is being taught) or humanities (because I missed out in college).

Personally I used to being a heavy user of Coursera and attemped a online master from Georgia tech try - https://pll.harvard.edu/course/cs50-introduction-computer-science - https://ocw.mit.edu/ to see if you like it then try - https://www.coursera.org/ - https://www.udacity.com/ and if you still like the experience, then you could try a actual degree from - Georgia Tech (10k usd?) - UCB (100k usd?) which would take significantly more time with all the assignments and tutorials etc. Checkout the commitment here https://www.omscentral.com/
