Yale has a lot of free courses as well.

Just waiting on my neurolink data port then I'll absorb this knowledge…
This isn't a new offering, but awareness is always a good thing. There are more classes available than are listed in the op - a total of 151. Here's a direct link to all of Harvard's free courses:

https://pll.harvard.edu/catalog/free?page=1

If you've ever heard of auditing a class - that's exactly what this is. You get the knowledge, but you don't take tests or get actual credit. It's like sitting in the classroom as an observer, but the advantage of it being online is that the courses are self-paced. You do have to pay, IF you want a certificate verifying that you took the class.

Many colleges and universities offer similar programs. Googling "free Harvard courses" brought up the link above. Substitute "Harvard" with the name of the school you're interested in to see if they offer a similar program.

She taught me a lot about the moon and sun.
Carl Sagan would be in awe if he were still here.

I wanted to get into automation at work and all we got is VBA kind of sucks but has unlocked some awesome potential with our work.

I've been using ChatGPT to learn it by asking what I want it to do and then do that and test the code it provides.

It's great way to learn for me who is terrible at tests and studying.

Interesting story about this.
I work at one of the largest corporations in the world, and hire frequently. We made an offer to a candidate, he accepted it right away, and we started the background verification. It was during this phase that we found that the candidate had misrepresented an online course as a real credential. The offer was rescinded and the candidate was blacklisted.

My oldest took intro to CS, high quality free course IMO, good for a high schooler to get going early.

I'm curious- did they take it over a few weeks? Or days? Thinking my oldest might like this over the summer break.

Funny ..... Politicians passed law making student loan debt permanent and inescapable via bankruptcy. Following government "intervention" costs of college skyrocket. Colleges and banks no longer hold any risk of bad loans or bad degrees. Student Debt rises as schools never have to worry about having any responsibility. Banks also now make guaranteed loans at high interest rates.

After years of this abuse of big government stupidity. People say the answer is big government. Big government created the issue. Remember every $1. In taxes in less then 30% actually makes it to where it's supposed to.

This is a great post thank you Op. Free and near free education.

The world needs ditch diggers too. Learn a trade.

Read some history books to understand the larger and more powerful a government gets the worse the people suffer.

Also I paid for my education via summer jobs and working part time during college. GI Bill is a great way to get a free education. FYI.

If you just go outside an watch people or plants. You'll learn more than a degree can ever teach. If you talk to them. You need a degree salary to pay for bodyguards; but learn even more.

I took some courses for fun back in like 2019 an they were teaching me stuff the nutrition community already was annexing. It was online so I was weight lifting while attending (srs; I listened while benching). But totally useless if eduction was my purpose

I watch the lectures on YouTube. For the most part, a CS50 is just barely highschool level. Still fun though, and some courses are at least in current times, so that is refreshing.

SD site/app has some issues with the redirect pointing to a site that is not https, which probably is hurting some sort of bottom line.

go dot redirectingat dot com

It's been that way for a couple days.

I didn't realize you could learn power system engineering by watching a cactus 🌵. Such a genius idea!

You can add it but make sure you write "took HarvardX course(s) on edx.org

otherwise they can fire you later for lying about your education if you try to lie or imply you graduated from the actual institution.
