朋友Jennifer Zhao在微信群里分享一些免费的网上学习资源,整理收藏,与大家分享。(括号里的话是我的加注)
网上学习越来越多,也非常容易、方便。有些需要付钱的,但很多是免费的。我在这里主要分享一些免费的、高质量的网课。
网课给学生提供更多的机会来学习新东西,尤其是学校没有设置的科目。自学些课程,不仅在大学申请时,让AO了解到自己是“爱学习,有好奇心的学生”,更重要的是可以通过网课探索不同的学科领域,扩充自己认知的同时,也有助于发现自己的兴趣爱好,为将来的专业选择做准备。
上网课最需要的就是“自律”。免费课程,很容易开始,但完成的人并不多。有可能是开始上课以后觉得题目与自己的预期不一样,或是不喜欢老师的授课方式。(我有亲身经历:在Coursera上选了一门哲学入门,听了几个讲座,非常喜欢,可惜还是没有坚持下来。)
我的建议是:用心选择的课程,务必完成,可以训练自己的责任心和自制力。上网课时最好是给自己设定每天或每周上课的固定时间,时常提醒自己“这是自己的选择和决定,说什么也把它学完”。(嗯,有道理,好方法。下次选了课程,留出固定时间,写在日程表上,一定坚持完成!换位想想,自己的自制力都这么差,也不要再埋怨孩子们了,毕竟是亲生的!亲生的!亲生的!)
