Learning How to Learn : Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects
This course gives you easy access to the invaluable learning techniques used by experts in art, music, literature, math, science, sports, and many other disciplines. You’ll learn about how the brain uses two very different learning modes and how it encapsulates (“chunks”) information.
Developing Your Musicianship
If you have a passion for music and are curious about how it works, or if you are a musician who learned to play by ear without formal study, this course will provide you with an engaging introduction to key concepts and approaches needed to understand, create, and perform contemporary music. Taught by Berklee College of Music professor George W. Russell, Jr., the course includes six lessons that delve into harmony and ear training—two areas of intensive focus for every entering Berklee student.
Søren Kierkegaard - Subjectivity, Irony and the Crisis of Modernity
In this course created by former associate professor at the Søren Kierkegaard Research Centre, Jon Stewart, we will explore how Kierkegaard deals with the problems associated with relativism, the lack of meaning and the undermining of religious faith that are typical of modern life. His penetrating analyses are still highly relevant today and have been seen as insightful for the leading figures of Existentialism, Post-Structuralism and Post-Modernism.
Social Network Analysis
Humans are natural network scientists, as we compute new network configurations all the time. While such network structures always existed, computational social science has helped to reveal and to study them more systematically. This course will explain their structures and how they evolve in time.
