If you haven't heard yet, you can essentially sit in on top-level university classes from the comfort of exactly where you're sitting at this very moment. Sure, there really isn't anyway for you to get credits for the classes, but it's still an awesome way to supplement your current classes or learn something new when you're really bored.
The great thing is that there are a ton of these videos posted up on Youtube. You don't have to subscribe or even sign up for anything (aside from a Google account for Youtube, but I imagine you have that already). Anyhow, it's free and some creepy old guy in Russia isn't going to steal you identity while thousands of viruses invade your beloved computer.
First up:
Yale has nearly 1000 videos for you to choose from.

MIT currently boasts 2,404 videos!

Harvard even offers lecture videos on Youtube.

So, yeah. Check them out. Learn something new. Brag to your friends. (Actually, don't do that; they'll probably not like it very much.)
Wow, I totally was unaware of this. I agree with you; I really think that this is neat and interesting. I don't really know many people my age who would be interested in watching an entire video on a lecture from Yale...but, being the nerd I am, I would definitely look into this. It's a way of virtually furthering you education for free, I don't know who would disregard such an opportunity. Thanks for sharing this news!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this source. I think it would be interesting to learn new things...or even to see how others teach. Granted these are professors, and they are most likely lectures...but still...I think it's wonderful to see what else is out there...especially as you start going into your own classes.
