I knew that I am talented, but all I had in life was cleaning, feeding, cleaning, feeding, working part 4me… I wanted very much to study like my classmates … but it was very hard to find 4me. I started and leA, started and leA. I was deeply depressed. There was a moment … when I tried to kill myself. But we ‐ humans are very tenacious of life and I survived.
At that 4me I found Coursera. My first course called the "game theory" expelled the depression and the desire to die once and forever. I feel happy and I enjoy my life and my family much more. In the last two years I have taken about 40 courses (I am
I grew a lot from answering the longer quizzes and wrestling with the complex essay grading rubrics… you are not only allowing au4s4c people to learn, but actually diminishing the severity of the illness itself. (Daniel Bergmann, USA)

The 2 Sigma Problem
"The 2 Sigma Problem: The Search for Methods of Group Instruction as Effective as
One-to-One Tutoring." B. Bloom, Educational Researcher (1984).
College is a place where a professor’s lecture notes go straight to the students’ lecture notes,

Scott Rixner and Joe Warren, Rice: “I will never, ever, ever, teach a class any other way as far as I can tell…This is so much better- I had so much more fun teaching and the students learned so much more, I will never get up here and lecture. I just don’t see the point anymore. I can do better this way.”
Adrienne Williams, UCI: “This was more fun to teach than a traditional course…students were awake, asking questions, and much more engaged.”
Kristin Sainani, Stanford: “As the instructor, I definitely preferred engaging in interactive discussions and exercises with the students rather than lecturing at them…my lectures used to take up nearly all the class time and I’d be rushing just to get through them."
