![]() I found the course really engaging, especially the first semester. This was a course I just finished watching recently, after a reader suggested it for my effort to learn more biology. Organic Chemistry – Michael McBride (Yale) That said, if you just wanted to audit the class I think you’d still learn a lot about how the brain works. I even made flashcards for it while I was studying it to keep all the anatomy straight. The course is tough, especially if you want to pass the exams. He even shows actual human brain tissue on camera, along with copious diagrams and slides. White gives a detailed walkthough of how the brain works. This course is the best one I’ve found on neuroscience. Medical Neuroscience – Leonard White (Duke) (That said, the first lecture of the class is math-free and very well done, so I recommend it, even if you don’t know calculus.) 6. The amount of people who both have the math and physics requirements, but somehow didn’t study quantum mechanics in their undergraduate education, might be fairly limiting so I didn’t include it here. While I highly enjoyed Allan Adams MIT quantum physics class, the math requirements are fairly steep. I would have thought it was impossible, but somehow Feynman manages to pull it off. He does a brilliant job here of explaining quantum mechanics-without using any math. Richard Feynman is my all-time intellectual hero. Nonetheless, I recommend this course as a useful resource! 4. But, I’ve since come to appreciate that learning better is a pretty broad subject, so there’s always going to be more to teach (and learn). ![]() I have to admit, when this course first came out, I was a little nervous since my income depends a lot on my own, paid learning course. The course is engaging and easy to follow, using neuroscience and psychology to illustrate the principles for studying better. Learning How to Learn – Terrence Sejnowski and Barbara Oakley (UCSD)Ĭoursera’s most popular course, this one also happens to be taught by my friend, Barbara Oakley. But since nothing ever truly gets removed from the internet, I think they’re still worth watching if you want to learn physics. Thus the lectures are harder to find online than they used to be. Unfortunately there was a bit of a scandal on MIT’s open platform which resulted in MIT removing any affiliation with Lewin for the course. He’s also really good at drawing dotted lines. Lewin manages to explain deep concepts about how the world works through exciting experiments. They’re some of the finest classes I’ve ever taken online. Walter Lewin’s physics lectures (both classical and electromagnetism) were the ones I followed during the MIT Challenge.
