BeckyFL Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) Well, thanks to the Hive (you people are SO informative), I am educating myself through Yale! I had no idea that courses were offered for free until I read the thread on the high school board. I've listened to my first lecture and I really enjoyed it. I'm taking: PSYC 123 - The Psychology, Biology and Politics of Food, Fall 2008 I already know a lot about this topic (from sources like Food Inc, The Future of Food, and a lot of my own research), but there have already been some different things brought up and it's a different slant on the topic. I'm really excited. At the very least, I am exercising my brain yet a little more. lol Here's Yale's course list for those who didn't know (like me)... http://oyc.yale.edu/courselist EDITING.... Too bad we can't edit our title! i meant to say Educating myself. Doesn't that just make me look completely uneducated?

Rosie_0801 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Free huh? Eek. Most of them look scary! Hey! Roman architecture. That sounds cool! Ok, you don't really need a running list of my thought processes. A spiffy find :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelanieM Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Wow! This is awesome! And I see in the FAQ that there's a whole consortium of schools that do this. More details here: http://www.ocwconsortium.org/ (I'm currently viewing the open course list for MIT.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Oh, I see a bunch of wonderful professors there. Donald Kagan is a must (he's teaching Ancient Greek History). How fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangermom Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I love the idea, but I have such a hard time sitting down at the computer for that long. Even so, I'm trying to listen to Berkeley's Physics 10 course, "Physics for Future Presidents." It's my husband's favorite professor.

littlebug42 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 For those with a Roku, there is a channel on there that has course lectures from several colleges including Yale. The channel is CDNtwo. This channel also has some audio books from Librivox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
