Free, easy-to-follow, comprehensive. Course Buffet offers lessons in just about any academic category you can think of.
The rise of online education brought contemporary knowledge to the corners of the earth. Course Buffet reminds us of the breath-taking extent to which the web can improve our lives. With the prices of in-class education at a premium, most people cannot afford the time of skilled professors. Most of us work and cannot attend class during normal hours, or cannot attend on a consistent basis. Course Buffet is one of the services that was built to adapt to the needs of the modern adult. Learn from home, learn on the go. With internet access, we can all be Renaissance men and women.
mmm… Knowledge!Course Buffet itself does not host the courses; they simply curate the best online courses from different academic categories. And these professors ain’t no slumps; there are courses written by instructors at MIT, Harvard, and so on. During my research for this post, I learned about Marcel Duchamp in an Art Appreciation course, and got the basics for constructing a search engine in Introduction to Computer Science. Courses combine visual and textual resources. Fill your plate with courses from Econ, History, Bio. Go for breadth or depth. Eat up.
