I feel like I'm getting much more out of my degree than I would have if I went the traditional route because I understand the context for the material, and because I've seen much of it before through self teaching, so I can focus more on consolidating my knowledge of the fundamentals rather than struggling to absorb all of these hard and often poorly justified concepts for an exam.
