Started some online schooling today.
« on: January 15, 2013, 01:47:17 am »
And wow is this going to be boring. The only classes I'm taking right now are Intro to windows  :( and Computer Ethics  :-\ . The very, very end of the Windows book is about running disk cleanup  >:( >:( .

This should be fun. Had I had the money I would of tested out of all of these instead of just Computer Literacy. I can't wait to get to some interesting classes.

Yeah, i feel you. I myself would rather be self taught, but if you would like to dive into whatever course you'd like at anytime, go to http://edx.org
Real, free, college courses on advanced topics, mostly related to computers.

Maybe you could try "https://www.coursera.org/". I remember it being posted for online crypto classes etc... :)

I have both those sites bookmarked although I have yet to use them. It's not like I can just quit what I'm doing now, I already paid for it  :P

Or actually I didn't but financial aid would refuse to pay and then I'd have to pay it all. Ah well, once I get this dumb stuff out of the way then I can move on to networking classes and unix classes and ethical hacking classes and whatnot.

I just started a Cisco network class. I havn't actually gotten into the information yet, but hopefully it will be good useful information instead of telling me what wireless means.

I'd be willing to bet it's decent if it's a Cisco class.

Was sent a groupon thing that I get five classes for $99, excluding tests.  Tallied up all the courses were well over $3000, and being a Cisco class nonetheless... I plan to start Monday.

....I think I got that too. Lol, I'm saving it for when I'm less busy with school though.

UPDATE: I took the quiz for the first week without reading the assigned reading or doing any of the activities.

96%  :P

Ugh.

That wasn't the Cisco test. I'm not that awesome. It was for my other computer schooling stuff.

Let me know how the classes go. I want to know what it's like before I start.

Isn't there some Cisco Academy stuff here on EZ? Like lectures or material or something?

If there is it's what you need to expect. I been through the classes your talking about, well, if it's the same ones I took. But rating Cisco they will be at least extremely similar. I know EZ has what your going to be studying. Just need to look for it I guess. RedBullAddict is going to be your help with the networking related stuff especially with Cisco related things, he has field experience.
