    Those Harvard courses are prerecorded videos and there is no interaction with the instructor or students. The Stan ford online courses are much better. This term the AI class started with over 140,000 students enrolled. Not all of them survived past the midterm but there is still quite a bit of activity.

    Their online courses for next term are already posted. This machine learning course is popular. Others are listed at the bottom of the page.

    Bill Gates dropped out from this school, right?
    I remember the time when Larry Allison said "you all should drop..."

    This has to be a joke of a class. Don't put this on your resume if you finish.
