Free online courses

Just for info - these (free) courses from Australia's Open Universities are worth looking at:

Introduction to Astronomy
https://www.open2study.com/content/astr ... e-cohort-4
The course presenter is a radio astronomer and gives the course a slant in this direction which I found informative. The course is re-running again now.

Basic Physics
https://www.open2study.com/subjects/basic-physics
This is a new course which begins in September.

This is a non-physical sciences course which was excellent and is being run again now:
Becoming Human - introduction to anthropology
https://www.open2study.com/content/beco ... y-cohort-4

I'm currently doing the Foundations of Psychology
https://www.open2study.com/content/foun ... y-cohort-4
and finding it well-presented.
"In those rare moments of total quiet with a dark sky, I again feel the awe that struck me as a child. The feeling is utterly overwhelming as my mind races out across the stars. I feel peaceful and serene."
— Dr Debra M. Elmegreen, Fellow of the AAAS
