Independent Learning | Yea or Nah?

[DemureNatural]

Are any brehs independent learners? Meaning you find topics that further your knowledge of the science, human behavior, the world in general, whatever your interests are?

Recently I found some free online courses through Emory University. They have all types of free educational classes about varying topics from history (https://www.coursera.org/course/ancientnubia), to science, health, agriculture, programming, algorithmic thinking, law, etc.

Check out the list and sign up for a class!

Yes I learn plenty of things on my own.

If this is not a jab at those of us who seek higher education, then I agree, I'm also an independent learner

I'm just glad that I am years removed from school with that Common Core shyt.

Depends on who's teachin the history. If its black history by a cac teacher then the teacher will have a conflict of interest. If its technical teachings then it would be worth checking out.

You have to be an independent learner.

School teaches you to memorize, doing research on your own teaches you to think

History, yes, because I wasn't taught ANYTHING about our people when I was in school aside from the usual: slavery, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, etc.

Hell, I knew all the Nations of Europe before I knew the Nations of Africa.

That's one good thing I took from speaking to brothers involved with the Nation of Gods and Earths.​

everyone comes out of the womb independently learning. declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge are two different things.

Dude, you're splitting hairs.

Who'd make jabs at higher education? Most of us here have one or more degrees anyway (or at least a few IT certs)

This is about creating your own education

 

[Ciggavelli]

I learned so much more on my own than in school (and I have an advanced degree, soon to be degrees)

Check edx.org too. A bunch of schools, good schools like Harvard and MIT offer free online classes with the opportunity to buy a certificate of some kind at the end.

Just about everything I learned I learned on my own. Only thing I ever really learned in school is the people who make A's and B's end up working for the people who make C's and D's.
