There is no one course to cover everything in any particular narrow or general field of knowledge, which makes it very easy to unify aspects of knowledge from various short courses into any relevant field of knowledge one wishes to pursue.

There are at times certain contradictions between what one may learn at their expensive university, and the short courses. I have found the learning material in such cases to be up to date and more accurate in these short courses, and often found certain elements are out of date and inaccurate at my expensive university course.
