My Coursera experience is that I complete less than 75% of the classes. I can usually tell by the first week or two if it's going to keep my interest, and I'm not going to linger if it doesn't. But then there is the guilt when they send you the emails "a new week of lectures is posted". I think it goes back to my collage days and the courses I hated, skipped lectures, and felt terribly guilty. That's burned into some neurons somewhere. One other point on there being separate consciousnesses within the brain. There's a book out, haven't read it but seen multiple interviews with the author, that says that different parts of the brain "argue" on courses of action. Like, "do I eat that chocolate, or stick to my diet"? That certainly suggests multiple consciousness.
