Looking for Some Review? Psych Courses Online

I begin next week with classes starting on August 13.  I know, it's really early.  On the off chance some are still on summer break and would like to do some review/look for some teaching insights for psych, I ran across this website that has condensed some online courses into on set of links.

The entire site list of courses is here:
http://www.openculture.com/freeonlinecourses

The Psychology Courses are here:
http://www.openculture.com/psychology_free_courses

Many of these link to courses existing on iTunes, others on YouTube and other sources.  Some are introduction courses, some are more upper level.  They seem like a good source for review and learning some deeper content.  In any case, they are definitely worth a look.

MIT Open Courseware - Introduction to Psychology

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) is a web-based publication of virtually all MIT undergraduate and graduate course content. All course material is free and open to the public.

The OCW includes an Introduction to Psychology course from 2004 with Professor Jeremy Wolfe. While the site includes MP3 audio files of Professor Wolfe's lectures, lecture notes, required readings, and much more, the most interesting aspect of the site is the previous course midterms and final exams in the Study Materials section. Professor Wolfe has a unique form of assessment with each exam centered around a specific story. For example, the 2000 final exam is based on Harry Potter. For 2001, Professor Wolfe used The Lord of the Rings.

The Study Materials section can be found at http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Brain-and-Cognitive-Sciences/9-00Fall-2004/StudyMaterials/index.htm. To find the course homepage go to http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Brain-and-Cognitive-Sciences/9-00Fall-2004/CourseHome/index.htm
