Yale University is adding eight courses to its free online offerings, the university announced.
The courses, which were recorded as taught, are available in video and audio formats from the Open Yale Courses Web site, which the university says is among the most often visited of all its Web pages. For each course the university also posts searchable transcripts, syllabi, reading assignments, and additional materials such as problem sets.
Seven courses were already online. The new additions are: “Frontiers of Biomedical Engineering,” taught by W. Mark Saltzman; “Game Theory,” taught by Benjamin Polak; “Financial Markets,” taught by Robert Shiller; “Milton,” taught by John Rogers; “The American Novel Since 1945,” taught by Amy Hungerford; “The Civil War and Reconstruction Era,” taught by David Blight; “Introduction to Ancient Greek History,” taught by Donald Kagan; and “France Since 1871,” taught by John Merriman. —Lawrence Biemiller
