I’m happy to report that I’ve tracked down and removed the code that has been affecting my site and causing the redirect. If you’re still experiencing issues please let me know.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, there has been a dramatic shift in the way people approach education. Abundant education is now easy to access and offers motivated individuals a chance to learn. This has come even more apparent to me when I learned that Josh Kahr will be posting the lectures from the Real Estate Finance course he teaches at Columbia’s Masters in Real Estate Development Program on iTunes (for free).
This is starting to become the norm at elite Universities (check out iTunes U), but it’s the first time I’ve seen it done by a professor in a masters of real estate program. I hope other professors follow Josh’s lead. Not only is a great way for students to learn, but it also serves as a way for Josh and the University to expand their brand. I wish Josh would take it a step further by making the syllabus and handouts available online in addition to the video.
Although I believe there is no substitute to actually being in the classroom and interacting with professors and other students, this is a great way to learn. Many programs are prohibitively expensive, and motivated individuals can learn just as much by reading and doing work on their own.
Are professors in other real estate programs doing similar things?
