I've just registered to start, a day late but I'll catch up.  OH wants to do it too.
Other similar free academic short courses can be seen at:
www.futurelearn.com
 
I shall also be doing 'England in the time of King Richard 111' which starts in a few months time, and includes farming and peasantry in the 15th century.
 
 
Another course I noticed which looks fascinating explores the oceans.

Thankyou Fleecewife. Thats just my sort of thing. I have joined and will take a better look at the first week a bit later on today.

I love CSI but I have to laugh at some of the evidence and how they find it, their fingerprint findings/id on items which must have been touched by many is amusing amazing  , + they must have superhuman eyesight for the things they see at a glance

Thank you for the heads up ...... these free courses sound great

I'd definitely be good at the peasantry bit.

Those courses look very interesting.

Hi Dans    Oh do have a go.  They say 3 hours a week but I've just about finished the first week's work and it didn't take that long.  Go on - you'll love it

[Bionic]

Lucky you Fleecewife 
I am probably half way through the first week. Definitely interesting so far and it hasn't taken long.

I've joined too, doing the forensic one. There's another forensic course later on too. I enjoy writing crime novels and hope this will help me to be accurate on the forensic side. I'm so excited. 


I'm going to let other people know about this. My grandson is going to uni in just over a year to do medicine so he might be interested in the Preparing for Uni one.


Thanks so much, Fleecewife. You may have actually found a way of preventing me spending so much time playing Candy Crush.

[TheGirlsMum]

I'm doing this too, also did the ecosystems one

[Lesley Silvester]

How many of us are actually doing the forensics one?
