They tell you what to study and make the exam. You figure out how to prepare. Take the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) exam as an example. Either you prepare on your own or you go to e.g. bionicturtle.com and receive video lectures for a small fee.<br /><br />So far most people do such programs to complement an existing education and afaik you actually must have at least a B.S. (and some work experience) to earn the designation. But as you pointed out, teaching technical stuff that has no relationship to present day events over and over again just doesn't make any sense. The MIT (ocw.mit.edu) taped Gilbert Strang's lectures on Linear Algebra (101) and put them online. For the foreseeable future every professor who teaches the same stuff is wasting time and money.<br /><br />In the future, professors will spend their time mentoring and not teaching students. Will teaching and mentoring go entirely online? No. Rich people always knew that meeting other rich people is important to stay rich.Mahalanobishttp://mahalanobis.twoday.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-87123629794004678132010-03-14T23:53:32.315-05:002010-03-14T23:53:32.315-05:00Glad to greet you, ladies and gentlemen!
