“Critical thinking and creativity demand the liberalization of learning and information. But I also believe that it’s not simply the information that’s

valuable, but also the glimpse OCW offers into how MIT has structured its teaching and research.”

“Last semester, I had a course in metallurgical engineering. I didn’t have notes, so I went to OCW. I downloaded a course outline on this, and also some review questions, and these helped me gain a deeper

understanding of the material.”

“The Leading Organizations course has turned me on to all sorts of useful references. We’ve used a bunch of books mentioned in the syllabus. And the lecture notes

are also an important tool. OCW has definitely accelerated our ability to train.”

“I realized there was this huge disconnect between the math department and the engineering department – who are the downstream users of the material that’s taught in the math classes… I had no idea how or what was being taught.”

“I realized, watching OCW video clips, that faculty experiments help the students to better understand the theory. This has changed my method of teaching. Since then, I have been trying to provide the students with

more demonstrations.”

“We had a mechanics course in our university that followed MIT’s Course 8.01 pretty closely. It was great — I

listened to the lectures at our university, and then went home and watched the MIT lecture. It helped me understand some of the difficult concepts, and to get familiar with

the English terms.”

“I work for the U.S. Navy solving real-world problems. I have one project involving how to increase fracture

resistance in F-18 Super Hornet canopies. Pilots have died due to this type of failure. I went

to your site – boom – I found materials on ‘Fracture and Fatigue,’ and this gave me ideas and pointed me in a new

direction.”

“What a service! These videos afford students an in depth perspective into MIT scholarship and it is

INSPIRING. It inspires them because it lets them know that they can understand and appreciate these difficult

concepts on the level of MIT students.”
