The MIT Opencoursewave is a convenient way
to know the teaching methods abroad. I think this is a good way to let the
knowledge open to the public. But I am not very interest in the science and
engineering subjects. So I choose a cross-disciplinary topic about environment course.
The environment is very important issue today. They are talk about Economic
& Environmental Issues in Materials Selection. They use life cycle assessment
method to analysis the problem. I think this lecture is too difficult to
understand. But it let me see the students abroad is very courage to express
their own ideas.
