Apologies for posting it in Siasi Video thread, or before any Moderator move into different category. The only reason i posted it here, as I truly want our youth to benefit from any courses.

We are a country with a majority of population in its youth. To shape our future, we definitely need opinionated, well versed youth, but those who are continuously learning to improve themselves in all fronts of their lives.

My humble request to our youth is just to go through these courses, and if they find anything helpful in their field, do must take course, and learn for better future of themselves, and collectively for Pakistan.

- Just a concerned senior citizen.

1) Click the Course; you are interested to take. e.g: Cryptography ( https://www.coursera.org/course/crypto )

2) MUST check the "Next session" as some courses have already commenced/started.

3) Click on "Sign Up" (Present on the left top of the course page) for the first time, it will take you to following page:
https://www.coursera.org/account/signup

Enter your name, email, and set a password (Just a thought: Always set different passwords for your important mail, trustworthy websites, and junk websites).

It will automatically sign you in for that particular course.

Changing Courses:

1) Once you are logged in, you will see your name appearing on right top (quite big and clear). Click it, and a drop down menu will appear with three following options.
A) Courses
B) Settings
C) Logout.

2) Select from dropdown menu: "Courses".

It will show all your courses. You can "Un-enroll" from a course, if you want.
===========

Answer of your Question:

- It will be conducted on this website http://www.coursea.org
- In all top universities, assignments carry weightage/marks, and which must needs to be completed on time.

Actual Example of one of Course:

Must visit: https://class.coursera.org/crypto-preview/quiz/index?quiz_type=homework

Click on left panel, and click on different links such as "Video Lectures". (Lectures present in pdf, slides, and video formats).

It depends on University, and Instructors. I hope it helps, and you definitely get something to learn from it.

A Humble Request to Admins and Moderators
@Adeel @Waseem @TruPakistani:

Respected Admins,

As this educational post has got buried in enormous information getting posted on siasat.pk. It is definitely a usual business, but i humbly request you to


  • Put this post on main page, or make it as Sticky Post, so more people can access it.
  • Kindly, post it on your facebook page, so it receives more Pakistani audience, and maybe few more people learn something.
Dear Admins, I personally have nothing to gain from it. You can re-post it from your official ids. You have indeed a wonderful portal, and you can help it to many of those to get some education from top-notch universities. Pushing Pakistan a step ahead, responsibility comes solely back on to our shoulders. It is all your call; whatever you think is appropriate.

Thank you.
