Udacity

This semester we will be using an additional online resource that enhances the information in the textbook.

Udacity is one of the MOOCs you may have heard about. They offer online classes for free and have thousands of students. There is an Intro to Java Programming designed by SJSU's own Dr Cay Horstmann.

You will be assigned videos to watch as well as sections of the book to read. The twice weekly quizzes will come from both sources. Udacity has a way of presenting material that I think will help many of you learn. The lessons are broken up into small chucks of a couple a minutes followed by an activity. If you watch the videos and do the activities, it will greatly enhance your learning.
