UC Berkeley Course Podcasts

Want to study at Berkeley? Think that it's out of reach? Well, think again. Go here to see just how many courses you "take" using either audio or video podcast. Some courses are also available on iTunes U or YouTube.

From the Spring 2008 list, you can choose courses ranging from Introduction to Archaeology to Globalization to Introduction to Practical Reasoning and Critical Analysis of Argument. How's that for a range of subjects?

My personal favorite is Geog 130 Natural Resources and Population. Professor Sayre is a great! And you really must check out the Fall 2007 course, EPS 170 Crossroads of Earth Resources and Society. George Brimhall is the coolest Prof. This course has a website with lecture pdf's available, plus lots of other interesting course information.

Please note that some of the older courses are going to be archived and will not be available on this site, but I'm not sure what the time frame is.

Have fun! Just be aware that you're going to face a problem here. It's extremely difficult to decide what course to tackle first. This is as good as it gets, if you are not looking to get credit for courses.
