#Assignment 10: Comment on the" Academic Earth"

Among the two websites teacher just offered us, I choose the Academic Earth .The reason is that I have already tried a little bit of MIT open courseware website before. And I found out that most of their management department has no video lectures. I was quite disappointed by that. So as soon as teacher sally provided us another website which has the same function as MIT open courseware , without hesitate I choose to experience this website which is called " Academic Earth "
I'm pretty surprised that this website offers so many videos other than engineering major. And I do love it. I found a nice video (actually it is divided into some vedios because the process of the class is questioning. So the videos are divided into questions and answering.
I saw three of them and they are all answered by a professor called"Guy Kawasaki" from the stanford university. All of them are very interesting. He shared his experience and gave his idea about whether to get a MBA or not, or whether to start your career to work in the investment banking and so on . It is really helpful and I learned a lot from it.
I love this website more than the MIT . Because I can really find the video files about my major. And they also can offer different kinds of thinking because they cover five universities from different areas. I think it can be quite interesting to know different kind of thinking from a management major unvirsity to an engineering school.
I found it fansnating and I will choose some every week to know the programs I don't learn from school.
Also, because this website doesn't offer you the texts the professor said. So this can be a good chances to train my english listening and noting skills.
I will make good use of this website and hope I can really learn something from it by paying no money ^^.
