Heh, a free Smithsonian course. I enrolled.

My colleague sent me this link too. I was thinking of registering too but then I realize I don't even have time to read all the comics I buy, to see all the movies and TV shows I want to see, so where will I find the time to do this?
How does it work anyway? You receive lectures that you have to read and then you send back essays?

It's definitely interesting but I'm also intrigued by how it works and how labor intensive it'll be.

Same. The end of the school year gets insane for me and I can rarely keep up with grading, let alone try to be a student at the same time. But the free factor is a big plus. But if the "lectures" fall when I'm teaching I can't do anything. Unless I get some kind of Masters Credit for it my school wouldn't let me take the time off.

No idea how this works, but it takes 1-2 hours a week. I can manage that.
