Good going Scott :) I wish you further luck and also truly admire the consistent way you've continued to progress.

Just to let you know - At your MIT challenge page, the "see more" links at the right of the completed courses seem to be broken. They take me nowhere and keep me on the same page.

@nitinpur - Yes, they broke while I was updating it. Working on fixing it now.

Watching these week-by-week videos is a good way to remind myself to use my OWN time better.

What are you going to do with your computer science knowledge???

[ScottHYoungVid]

@TheRealKuif - I have MIT's official solutions, which, thus far, have been enough to get my grade. Perhaps as I get into more complex classes which have many correct answers I'll pay a CS TA or PhD student to doublecheck my results.

@soccerguy123456789 - No. Evenings are off, when I'm done for the day I relax. :)

Hey man. I've been keeping up with your weekly videos, and let me just say you rock! I really wish you all the best. One question: How do you keep so motivated and focused? I mean 6am to 6pm sounds intense. And could you please make some videos regarding your study tactics. I saw the video on Feynman technique, and that was pretty cool. Good luck in the future, and I look forward to watching the weekly videos!

[soccerguy123456789]

Hey Scott, quick question. Do you review some concepts before going to bed?

[TheRealKuif]

Hey Scott! Quite amazing what you're doing !

I have one question. You say that you're not enrolled at MIT? But how do you take the exams for, for example, programming? They need to be graded by someone?

Thanks :)!

Great going Scott! Keep trucking and good luck!
