Repository scope

GitHub describes it as 🎓 Path to a free self-taught education in Computer Science!. The repository metadata lists HTML as its primary language. The metadata lists the MIT license. The README describes the project this way: The OSSU curriculum is a complete education in computer science using online materials. It's not merely for career training or professional development. It's for those who want a proper, well-rounded grounding in concepts fundamental to all computing disciplines, and for those who have the discipline, will, and (most importantly!) good habits to obtain this education largely on their own, but with support from a worldwide community of fellow learners.

Summary

The README section "Summary" states: It is designed according to the degree requirements of undergraduate computer science majors, minus general education (non-CS) requirements, as it is assumed most of the people following this curriculum are already educated outside the field of CS. The courses themselves are among the very best in the world, often coming from Harvard, Princeton, MIT, etc., but specifically chosen to meet the following criteria.

Summary

The README section "Summary" states: Courses must : - Be open for enrollment - Run regularly (ideally in self-paced format, otherwise running multiple times per year) - Be of generally high quality in teaching materials and pedagogical principles - Match the curricular standards of the CS 2013: Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Computer Science

05

Summary

The README section "Summary" states: When no course meets the above criteria, the coursework is supplemented with a book. When there are courses or books that don't fit into the curriculum but are otherwise of high quality, they belong in extras/courses or extras/readings.
