NanoTech



How would you see the world if you were one of the inhabitants of Lilliput from the novel Gulliver's Travels? This course took me into a new world of science and helped me break barriers of my imagination.

Your head is actually a playground for lice and a pearl tapioca would be the football if you were the louse. The most interesting thing about this course - The Invisibility Cloak.

College Writing Fail


After receiving my certificate I asked myself, 'have I really learnt anything from this course?'

The course structure looked good enough to enroll and test out an edx course. Week 1 passed. Week 2 passed. Week 3 passed. Then came 'writing the draft for your final essay'. Copy. Paste. And then came the final week of 'submitting your final essay'. Copy. Paste. And guess what? I passed with 87%. I could have easily converted that to 100 % if I was a little less loyal during my self-evaluation.

Self-Evaluation. Not a great idea for assignments and projects.
