Last weekend I finished the free on-line course Introduction to Databases taught by Professor Jennifer Widom of Standford University. The course was given entirely over the web, with pre-recorded video lectures, and assignments and exams that were automatically graded when submitted. I didn’t quite know what to expect when I signed up for it, but I have to say that it was a great experience. It took quite a bit of work, but I did learn a lot.
