Do you get credit? Or is it just like auditing a course?.............
You don’t get credit. You get the professor’s notes on the class.
If you get yourself the textbook, you could learn quite a bit, but probably not everything.
This would be very useful for ambitious students who want to get advanced knowledge on courses they have to take.
It’s essentially auditing a course, but they can be great. I sat through a few lectures given by MIT’s open course ware and really like it.
Same thing I was wondering; if you got credit, both my daughters could have saved a ton of money. My oldest daughter still could.
