Furthering Education: udemy Style

udemy (https://www.udemy.com/courses/)

Udemy is another example of a MOOC. For those of you who don't follow my blog, a MOOC is a massive open online course. All MOOCs offer a multitude of free courses; however, some MOOCs have a pay to register model as well. Udemy fall into this category. 

Access to these courses have allowed students who cannot afford formal college the opportunity to obtain a higher level of education. The times are changing and with that comes a need to adjust and adapt. These courses have been key advancements in the ability to educate yourself at a cost that is reasonable.

For this I strongly recommend udemy, as well as all other MOOCs I have endorsed previously in my blog.

Enough of my rant... Into the good stuff. 

My Course Picks:



This course is applicable to everyone. What you're getting from this course is not that of a professional finance class. You aren't learning how to plot large financial decisions of companies, or even how to put your money into stocks. What you are learning is, how to stay organized and plan your financial future so that you can get out of debt and stay out of debt.

It was hard to choose one specific math course that to include; I mean, they have it all. They even had a course for the GRE, and March madness bracket math. I did choose this class for a reason though. From the website this author has created a level of math classes that build on one another. This is one. Trigonometry may be something you will never have to use in your life, this is true. However, in most upper end jobs a strong grasp of math will come in handy.

I am including this course because it seems interesting to me. It has less than one hour of course work, and based on comments and my preview, the author seems to explain things very well. (I may even continue to take the whole course after this post.)
