I’ve always wanted to try out one of MIT’s open courses, and it looks like I’m finally going to do it. A group of friends over at the Grey Labyrinth have all decided to go through a course. Since we usually talk politics at the GL, and nobody can pony up the big books for a book, we are going through this political science course. Most of the readings are online in pdf format.
It’s kind of fun to see self-organized collboration already taking place. Some of the reading is online, and some of them were in texts, but it’s all ‘old’ stuff, so I mentioned in our forum that we can probably find the rest of it online somewhere. Two posts later, somebody posts an entire list of the readings of the course. You can read our thread here, and if you want to join in, please feel free to do so!
