10+ New Stanford’s Open Classes for Spring 2012 [Free Full Courses]
This has to be one of the biggest breakthroughs in academia. After a pretty much successful semster of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Introduction to Databases, Stanford seems to take this idea of open classes to the next level. This time its not only the computer science courses, but they have added 2 Entrepreneurship courses. Here’s the list of the courses starting in Spring 2012.
