Studying The Constitution

         Hillsdale College is advertising a free online course on The U.S. Constitution. Sounds like a great idea, and a very good year to do it. But for me the timing is bad. I've already undertaken too many responsibilities to take a course. I highly encourage others to take it.

         Coursera offers free courses throughout the year. Most are business courses from major universities, but there are others as well. I took the one on Jefferson, and it was a lot of work, but worth the effort. You have to respond on time, and participate in the forums. The latter was intimidating to me, because so many of the others were history professors or other experts. That one was offered by UVA. I see they have one on JFK, but I can't remember which university. I did not take that one, but I'm sure it's good quality.

         The community college has inexpensive, non-credit courses in practical matters, including writing and gardening. But no time for that either.

         I;m going to knuckle down on some other things, and hopefully I'll learn a little in other ways.
