It would be awesome if they could compare (or map) this course list to what would be typically taught by a University-level Computer Science program...
I'm not interested in earning a degree/certification, rather I'd want to take these courses for general interest only.
I'm interested in understanding the depth and breadth of each course, vs. just going off the heading. If I can understand the value of each Udacity course as compared to the standard (eg: another University's program), I'm more likely to commit / buy into the whole Udacity approach.
i.e.
"At Stanford, a typical 4/5-year degree has these X topics / competencies... and these 8 coures meet 50% of these competencies."
Without understanding the value of each course as it relates to, say, another University program or competency map, I have a hard time understanding the value of Udacity.
This probably sounds confusing, so if there's anyone from Udacity that wants to chat I'm more than open to. I think what Udacity is trying to achieve is great.
