No go...

Oh well, I injured my back again so I missed the hard deadline for a 2nd quiz. So basically the whole grading for this course is gone to the drain.


As I result I feel no motivation to actually proceed with assignment #2 and share the knowledge this way. I will use this blog for something else.

Learning How To Learn : Sharing the knowledge

I am a seasoned engineering professional with international experience. I graduated from the university over 20 years ago and had I known what I hope to share in this course, it would have made me a more successful student.


Now, my challenge here is that many years ago I more or less dedicated to IT thus leaving my EE practice. You can imagine what happens when you stop using Differential and Integral Calculus for so many years! and guess what, all of that is the basis for a lot of the EE curriculum. So now that I want to get back at my professional roots I want to refresh that knowledge I already have and learn new things.


I lose attention easily as well, yet another challenge. So, at Coursera.org I am taking some courses but one of them (current) is a course that I wish was thought at ALL universities around the world as part of the introductory term. Believe me, it would make a difference.


Now, as part of this course I have to -part of an assignment- share my knowledge with the general public at the same time I use these techniques to help me improve on my studying. So, I hope that I can convey the gist of the course to you in a pleasant way.
