Coursera: College Learning with MOOCs

Coursera(https://www.coursera.org/)
Most massive open online courses offer students the ability to gain certification of completion for classes taken. For Coursera, this is no different. Coursera has two types of classes; verified classes that will give you a certificate of completion, and join for free classes. No, this does not mean you have to pay for any classes. Money only leaves your pocket if you decide you want a certificate of completion for the course.

Coursera currently offers 676 classes. This is the most of any of the commercial Online Education platforms. The only downside to this is that not all of the classes are available year round.

Here are some upcoming classes that you can get into:

Pre-Calculus:
With the help of University of California: Irvine professors you can go on a ten week journey to improve your mathematical knowledge. You can take this course both for certification or purely for learning's sake. With Pre-calculus under your belt you will have a grasp of both advanced algebra and trigonometry. This course is set up to have you prepared for taking any calculus class.

Constitutional Law
Is math not your thing? That's okay Coursera has something for everyone. This course offered by Yale, has in-depth coverage of constitutional law. What does that mean? This means that not only will this class give you a further meaning of what the constitution actually means, but also, it will show you how the written constitution interacts with judicial decisions.

Many courses are coming up soon! So make sure to go and take a look on Coursera to find one that fits you.
