Passed Saylor CS402: Computer Communications and Networks on second attempt

[dfrecore]

I love what Saylor's trying to do, but the execution here left a lot to be desired.

One last note, I'm starting BUS303: Strategic Information Technology now. It has better sources so far, but one common thread I've noticed is that the material is so broad and disjointed. It's pulling from 5 or 6 books on similar topics and you read a chapter here and there. It'd be easier for me to pull these concepts together and learn if they focused the majority of information on one good textbook and added supplementary material occasionally.

I think in this case, you get what you pay for.  I have not ever been impressed by Saylor, and I've tried out a lot of courses.  It's just painful.  My only advice is to take the tests that you think you can pass without having to study - it may be worth throwing $25 down the drain if you don't pass, and well worth it if you do.  Use other materials to study for the exams if you need to.
