Then there is the essay to complete each fortnight, which can take several hours of thought, writing and finding citations. Add the (very active) forum discussion and also textbook reading into that, and it's easy to spend over 5 hours a week on it.The Library Career Centrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12782867637565880582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114002649174439724.post-65264356452427460412012-10-22T10:04:38.076-07:002012-10-22T10:04:38.076-07:00I recently did a Coursera class and really enjoyed...I recently did a Coursera class and really enjoyed it too! One thing I would add is to take note of how much time they say the class will take each week. For mine it was 4-5 hours, which I dismissed, but it really did take up that much time. I didn't get involved in any forum discussion either, which will add more time. <br /><br />It'll be interesting to see how MOOCs develop and if employers will accept them as a valid qualification.Michellehttp://www.libmichelle.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
