Success in a MOOC

first assignment:
Which youtube site do you find interesting?
my answer
http://www.youtube.com/user/TheGardenSnake
he is a funny motovlogger, i'm pretty sure i watch him for the content not really the youtube layout

Lesson #1 that was really interesting:
new youtube algorithm promotes videos and channels now by # of subscribers and video watch time. the # of views is no longer the top criteria

Update:
Passed Lesson 1:
Key was to understand that "Subscribers drive Watchtime"

11 weeks Ultrasound

As my wife did a lot of research she found out that most people do not recommend going to the hospital in Aix-en-Provence instead they recommend going to the hospital that is nearby in the city of  Pertuis
