MIT Online Classes for Novel Research

Looking for some inexpensive classes to take for book research? How about FREE classes?
MIT Open Courseware has classes available in 35 departments. And there are some interesting classes available. For example:
- Physics of Rock Climbing – in case your heroine has to make a quick getaway up a mountain
- Fencing – because a sword is sharper than a pen
- Fundamentals of Ecology – if you’re building your own planets
- American Soap Operas – because this just sounds fun
- Kitchen Chemistry – I could teach this one with the experiments growing in my refrigerator…
- Food and Power in the Twentieth Century – Hmm… will food be the new currency?
Most classes have a syllabus, reading lists, and course materials like lectures and videos that can be downloaded.
Of course, there are a ton more classes than those I’ve listed here – most of which seem to be way over my head. But where else can you get an MIT education for free? Wander over and see if any of the classes will help you write your next novel.
