Learn something new

free short courses from the OU

www.futurelearn.com/courses

I'm going to do this one

www.futurelearn.com/courses/introduction-to-forensic-science

I think it'll be like taking part in a detective novel 

Karma I've been searching the link for later dates but can't find them. Where did you find out that there's another one later in the year? I would love to do that course and hubby wants to do Higgs Boson ( couldn't think of anything worse..but each to their own ) however as we are away for four weeks later on we would need something later in the year.? Any help to point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

It's a different course but looks similar

www.futurelearn.com/courses/forensic-crim-justice

worth keeping an eye on the website or even sign up to something to be kept in the loop, it's all in 'beta' phase so lots of things will be added and change throughout the year!

It's free, I don't think there is any maximum number of participants yet, and it's easy to click a button to leave a course before it's started.

How about this oli.cmu.edu/courses/free-open/chemistry/

You could then make lots of juice and we could try it.

taz96 Have you made a start yet?

I think I've done about half of the first week but I haven't commented on anything, I'm too shy

[taz96]

No Karma..not really had a chance to even look yet, work has gone crazy ! Hopefully I'll get a chance at the weekend. This is exactly the kind of thing I thought might happen, as in, whenever I decide to do something my commitments change...grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I'll let you know how I get on when I get a chance to start.

How's it going for you ?

[Karma]

Yeah it's fine, quite interesting a lot of Video to watch though and my connection is quite slow so a bit frustrating. You can print off the video transcripts though.

I'm sure you'll catch up taz96 I wouldn't worry about it x

[taz96]

Thanks Karma. I really hope to get at this sometime before the next set otherwise I'll never catch up.
