From the FAQ
- He can attend his classes Mathesis does anyone want it without being a university student?
Of course it can. As is the case everywhere, Open Online Courses are (by definition) available to any citizen who wishes to register and attend them.
- Are the courses really free or is there a registration fee?
Yes it is indeed free. There is no registration fee.
- Are the courses only offered for certain periods of time or are they always accessible?
The courses are actually offered for a certain period of time each, at duration of which the grading system and the forum work and teaching support is offered to the students by the lecturer or his colleagues. But courses are available outside this period too —as self-study courses- but then the forum and the grading system do not work, and without teaching support. However, the student has every opportunity to study such a course out of "season" and when it is offered "officially" - as an active course - to participate to get the relevant confirmation if this is in his pursuits.
I have already written in a previous lesson and I was completely satisfied.
Obviously I have managed to enroll in one of the new courses.
Well done for informing us about such issues
