All Hail the Teaching Company!
Tim: Come all ye who wanted to take that class in college on philosophy or history or literature but never got a chance to.
Come all ye who want to take a college course without having to pass a test or write papers or spend money for books.
Come all ye who want to learn from Ivy League professors without having to pay thousands of dollars.
Come all ye who want to take a course while driving to work or jogging or doing the dishes.
I'm one of the easiest people on earth to shop for at Christmastime or for my birthday. My wife's brain is already hardwired to ask me this question: so which Teaching Company course do you want this time? After three years of marriage she has succumbed to my obsession and has joined the ranks as a TC fan. Right now we're working through three courses - Classics of Russian Literature, A History of European Art and Victorian Britain. I have almost 30 courses now, some of which I've been through three times.
The booty from this holiday season included: Elements of Jazz (from Joanna's parents), The Life and Writings of John Milton, James Joyce's Ulysses (from Joanna to me) and The English Novel (from me to Joanna). Don't be alarmed at the prices. They put every course on sale at least once a year so most of the courses are less than $150 and many are less than $80.
Get ready…get set…learn!
