I checked it out yesterday, first I'm going to use the grammar section to brush up on things I've forgotten over the years. Some members contacted me about this yesterday and plan to use it.

Thanks Greg!

 

[Aero51]

I will most definitely be taking advantage of the programming courses to brush up on my C.

 

[I like Selena]

I also activated my account yesterday on Educator. There are many courses but only some of Maths and Computer Programming Languages are of College Level. Anyway it looks good.

The membership is of full one year so no Recurring, its on you want to subscribe again or not. Also some of Lecture parts available on Youtube.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

I want to add that you must be logged into see the notice message in the education forums.

 

[Nugso]

I wish the lectures had subtitles. :(

Thanks for this kind gift, Greg!

 

[OmCheeto]

Holy cow!

$240 * 400,000 members = $96,000,000

I just signed up. I think I'll take the AP Chemistry Course.

One of these days I'll figure out how a potato battery works.

 

[Swetankization]

I am looking forward to complete my Organic Chemistry! Its really a good deal.

 

[specdude]

Yes Organic Chemistry! Maybe the only decent OC on the net currently.

I'm logged in and I can't find any such message anywhere. What am I missing?

How about in here? It's a green notice message at the top.

[phinds]

What green message is that? This is what I see

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

hmmmm any other gold members not able to see the notice?

 

[phinds]

I should also mention that it looks the same whether I'm using FireFox 22 or IE10

 

[phinds]

Also, Greg, while you're figuring out why I can't see the message, can you give me a link that will allow me to sign up?

Thanks,

Paul

That worked. Thanks. If I can do anything to help you figure out why the message doesn't show up for me, let me know.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

That worked. Thanks.

Good to hear, enjoy!

 

[chemisttree]

Don't see it.

 

[chemisttree]

When I clicked on the link, a message is displayed that says the promotional link has expired.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Don't see it.

Hmmm I just made my test account a gold member with SA/HH and it appears fine.

This is where you should see it.

 

[dlgoff]

I've signed up and doing the Linear Algebra as a refresher. Thanks Greg.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

I've signed up and doing the Linear Algebra as a refresher. Thanks Greg.

Enjoy! I'm going through Music Theory at the moment!

 

[MacLaddy]

I have also signed up, and I think it will be a great resource as I go through Linear Algebra and Differential Equations.

Extra online assistance is always appreciated.

Thanks,
Mac

 

[Aero51]

How long does this partnership last. I am planning on enrolling in the C++ course

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

No end date at the moment

 

[pritish67]

Thanks Greg .
Enjoying with orgo.

 

[dlgoff]

No end date at the moment

Partnership or not, it's a great deal.

 

[Mockingjay]

This is absolutely amazing! Since I'm 23 and deciding to enroll to college at long last (for NukeEng) and also broke at the moment, I have been looking for free material to brush up on my math and science! Signing up to the physics forums today was fate :') lol.

Glad you enjoy it! Help spread the word and tell your friends about the opportunity :)

 

[alinta]

Will the opportunity expire if you close it while it is on its 'one hour count down' and come back to it at another stage? I would LOVE to sign up but I won't be able to give it my proper attention for a couple of months due to work commitments. :(

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

You can come back and click a new link that will give you another 1 hour to sign up. Enjoy!

This site (Physics forum) is awesome. Great to be connected here with you guys and educator.com.
