Is it possible to complete a four year computer science degree from MIT in just one year?
That is what Scott H. Young is out to accomplish.
Today on the Expert Enough Show, we sit down and talk with Scott H. Young about how to learn things rapidly and how he has already completed 17 of the 33 MIT courses described above.

Corbett,
Thanks for introducing us to Scott. his enthusiasm is evident in this podcast and I love that he is excited about what he is doing.
Great content, I am already learning some great stuff from his blog about speed reading.
Thanks again!

That’s great Bryan. I had fun talking with Scott and learned quite a few things about learning as well
Wow. I’m text-less. . .
Awesome Corbett
I think people underestimate the power of experiments. It is the best way to really learn anything.
People stop searching for someone to tell you how to do each and every step. You are a powerful being, start trying out stuff and see what works. Keep what does and throw out what doesn’t.
Awesome discussion with Scott. I’m seriously thinking about the MIT X course!
Kudos to Scott for taking on this challenge. I think a diploma is obviously necessary for some professions, I wouldn’t want to visit a doctor who crammed through med school online. Free online learning is probably worth it if it doesn’t impact the quality of your work.
