This is really the biggest revolution in front of my, a 15 years old curious fellow, eyes. Though sometimes I get struck in various topics but till now I really believe that OCW has enhanced my knowledge and skills and one day I will be able to get all the lectures into my mind perfectly.
Thank you MIT, if i am the worthy one, I'll meet you soon.

Knowledge should not be bordered. MIT Courseware has done a fantastic job at making material free, easily available, and easy to progress through. Shifting through Wikipedia pages is not sufficient for someone who has no idea where to start. MIT Courseware helps guide through knowledge. Thank you!

Thank you MIT. I LOVE YOU MIT. I've been studying from MIT from about 3.5 years now. I've loved it. At present in my country India I actually show my in my C.V. that I studied from mit OPENCOURSEWARE. I even got jobs on that basis and has got admission in international universities. May it be the 18.02 where Denis Auroux rubbed the second collapsing blackboard faster than the third getting over it and people applauding behind, May it be the 8.02, 8.03.8.01 where professor lewin explained everything in great detail and which had changed my life forever. I had talked to him on YouTube, May it be then 6.041 where professor Tsitsiklis explained how the probability function of a group of pencils falling between two parallel lines.May it be 18.01 or 18.03- professor Arthur while explaining things was disturbed by a group of students saying "you"ll be there, especially you pretty boy" and everybody starts to laugh.May it 6.00, 6.01, 6.02, 6.002, May it be 6.452 where professor explains a philosophical lesson that how are we going backwards as a societyI loved it all. I will be focusing on many others for the next 10 years and May be my entire life. I had one big dream and that was to visit MIT. At present I don't have funds but sooner will be able to get there.Thank you all sirs and ma'ams for the best education you've given me. For changing my life. I LOVE MIT AND MIT

The MIT lectures are really helping me in my NEET preparation. I really thank to all the professors and the whole MIT community. They are the teachers who want students to be bright, they are not teaching for money alone. I love all the MIT teachers and MIT.

Even though I'm basically locked out of my formal education for reasons I won't go into, I can still learn about the things that fascinate me and not feel as though I'm trapped mentally thanks to finances.
Thank you.

We who are of lesser skill sets, undiagnosed, untreated disabilities, but curious minds, are so grateful to MIT for sharing this invaluable material with all of us. Wisely M.I.T. scholars have learned the valuable lesson that every successful, mature, forward thinking, capitalist society understands.That is the idea of sharing knowledge to advance self directed, self induced human evolution. If human civilization is to continue inhabiting planet earth, there is an urgent need to spread higher levels of understanding to the entire population. We can no longer afford the drag of uneducated people being left behind as a result of underperformance in school, poverty, or superstition. American society in particular, but the entire human civilization must come to understand the effects of our consumption, our resource needs, and our individual responsibilities to contribute to the good of all. Open knowledge sharing is the obvious irrefutable way forward, "(universal education)" to the highest levels attainable for our mutual survival.
