User Feedback
I'm a home-based entrepreneur since 2001, building websites for homeowners and condo associations as
HOAwiki.com. I have 12 hours of college credit from 1973. I taught myself to build websites from a used book
"Teach Yourself HTML in 24 Hours". Everything I know I have taught myself. Your ocw courses helped me
understand the value of my knowledge and its impact, so that I don't (have to) promote myself (in sales), but
rather, the sharing of my knowledge draws people and opportunities to me. Your instructors share
themselves. They do not project or sell or promote. That sharing is magnetic, and you capture and share it
with us all. Thank you. I instruct my children to make a ritual of visiting your site and TED.org weekly and
inviting friends to join them. Your work enriches all our lives.

Sirs, In the process of finding reference materials for my son who is studying Electronics and communication
engineering in Bangalore, I have learnt many things in the electronics. The inside working of the circuits of an
electronic device and the computers, logics,circuit diagrams,lab materials,referencs, notes,lectures and
thousands of things have been extremely helpful to us. Although I am a mechnaical engineer ,the method of
teaching at MIT is excellent ,and makes absolutely clear for any body interested in learning the subjects. In
real sence MIT OCW has become a world university itself. I wish to express my profound thanks to all at
MIT. I have become a student my self in this process. I am indebted to MIT. Regards to all staff and
students ,volunteers ,support staff .Wish You all A very very Happy Christ mass....Let there be light ,Peace,
Prosperity,Good will to all Mankind....
