Take MIT Courses for Free!

Well, not really. But if you're interested in seeing what MIT classes are like, or would like to "try" one out, check this out.

MIT OpenCourseWare allows you to pretty much see everything involved in an MIT course. You get everything from a syllabus, to videos of lectures, to assignments with answers, to quizzes and exams with answers, and more. There is an extensive course selection in a variety of subjects.

I am going to try Introductory Biology first because I've had a great deal of interest in Biology lately. I even found a used copy of the textbook online for under $10, which I ordered through Amazon.com. If I like the format I'll continue to "take" the courses. It's great for subject matter you might be interested in, but don't want to spend the money on a for-credit course.
