Online Course from Michigan Tech

There was one course I needed to take (CS 2311 Discrete Structures) that didn't really line up with what they offer here, so I am taking it online from MTU this summer. It's very cool - I download the homework, upload scans of my papers when I have the homework completed, and all communication is through the internet or email. Here's screenshot of the course web site, where you have to submit homework and stuff:


And here's a picture from the middle of a lecture. The professor is talking on the left, and a slide is open on the right where he just solved a problem. The lectures are recorded in the special classroom at Tech and then streamed online (I don't have to watch them live, which is good because it would be at night here!), and there's even another screen that shows the instructor's computer screen/projector. The professor also uses a tablet PC, so he can draw on the screen with a stylus.


There's no way they can see me, so I could theoretically sit here in my underwear with a "beverage" while "going to class" (don't worry, I don't!) It's really nice having pause, rewind, and mute buttons for your professor though!
