How it works

(The goal is to open resources to everyone without assessment)

This is different from a standard MOOC. The materials presented here correspond to the advanced Summer School organized by Caltech and JPL, held on Sept. 2-12,201 4. here we are presenting the instruction materials, for your own self-guided study, on your own schedule. there are no quizzes, exams, grading, or certificates; our goal is simply to be a learning resource that is open to anyone.
(A total of nine courses are performed according to the portal page time, not based on the time on courses)
The material is organized in 9 sets of lectures, that correspond to the days of the actual summer school, in the order presentedthere. You can access it from the portal (portal) page. PleaseDo notTry to do it from thelectures listing that Coursera may lead you to. Do itOnlyFromthe portal page.
(Practice is performed after each course, but no score is required. You do not need to make your own decisions)
After each set of lectures, there are hands-on, practical exercises to help you learn. these are not graded, they are foryour own benefit and self-assessment. you can study these materials Inany order you wish, although sometimes there is an obvious logical order to them. you can study all of them, or just those that interest you. we willlikely be adding some useful links for a further study as we go along.
(How to Use discussion forums, you can ask questions, answer questions, and provide other materials)
You can useDiscussion forumsToask questions, or answer them, if you feel confident about it. sometimes, an instructor may answer a question, but they will not necessarily do so, soyou shoshould not wait for an answer from an instructor.Please usethe appropriate forum threads-do not mix questions and comments pertaining todifferent school days.You can post links to additionalresources that you have found useful, to share with the others. you canalso report problems, technical, or with the content, and these will be tackledon a best-effort basis. we also welcome constructive suggestions for futureimprovements or additions. the usual rules of a polite and professionaldiscourse apply. rude or otherwise inappropriate comments will get youbanned.
