I got my "Computer Science" degree from an art school, and am mostly self taught. This is becoming a problem, in that I feel like I'm missing a lot of CS education that I really should have for a college grad.
What is /g/'s recommended way to get the equivalent education of a college degree for free? I've looked at MIT Open Courseware but that seems astoundingly dense, especially with all the prerequisites like calculus and set theory. Is it the best choice? Something else?

perhaps because you're astoundingly dense

If it's the best way forward I'll do it. I'm looking to see if there are alternatives.

you can bone up on the prerequisites (calc and set theory) at Khan Academy

MIT's online CS course is pure computer science. This is exactly what you need to know if you claim to be a trained computer scientist.

Alright, I'll give it another crack. Should I do the homeworks as well or will the lectures be enough?

It's literally impossible to learn anything without practice. You'll be wasting your time if you skip exercises.

Alright, I'll do the calculus.

What exactly is computer science ? Cuz I certain writing code isn't science
