MIT Open Courseware

I choose the lesson: "Introduction to Psychology" in the most visited courses.
The lesson is very fun. The teacher designed many games and experiments
to let the student more participate and more enjoy.
But I think it is too hard to me to understand what the teacher are talking about.
And this lesson even have not the English subtitles.
Though the school will very hard but I think it is not unfair.
Because only few lesson have English subtitles.
Sometimes the recording is not very clear, so it is more important at this moment.
But it is very good experience because I never go to abroad to study
and never know how the teachers are teaching in the class.
And I think the resources in the abroad  are better than Taiwan.
I am very envy them and I think Taiwan's school can improve the equipment.
Let the teachers can show more information and let the students can learn more things
and more enjoy the lesson.
