The general "where can I find this class" thread - icampy - 01-02-2018
Hey ya'll. May be a silly idea, but I wanted to make a thread where anyone and everyone can pop in for a quick "I want ____, where can I find it" question instead of starting a new thread every time. I have one, and felt silly making an entire thread for 1 question that people will answer quickly, so here we are.
So, if it makes sense, we can use this thread for "where can I take this course/find this class", and get our questions answered.
I will start.....
Where can I find an astronomy 101 course online for credit? Curious if there are any courses other than $1k and up, non self-paced options.
Thanks!
feel free to add your "where can I find" questions if you don't feel like making a whole thread for a quick question.

Thanks, on both counts!
Got a telescope for Christmas, so I've been pouring over astronomy books and videos, thought it would be cool to get astronomy on my transcript.
Did not realize there was a DSST, very cool. Thanks for the sources!

Also, the Crash Course Astronomy Youtube videos are an excellent source of study for the DSST.

I have seen an awful lot of people looking for a good source for a non-Western lit course. If anyone knows of one I'm sure it would help several students here

For college credit, study.com offers "Astronomy 101: Intro to Astronomy" recommended for 3 credits.

I have BYU's 'Chinese Lit. in Translation - Poetry' pre-planned to fulfill my non-Western lit requirement at TESU. It's the only one that really gets brought up on the forum, but I'm sure there are local on-campus classes for some people that could fulfill this requirement.
Here's the link to the course:

i have seen people mention that one. I know TESU offers an African Biographies course that fulfills it too, although its obviously more money and a "Non-Western Literature" course, that again is more money but seems more interesting to me
anyway I'm sure there's someone somewhere that offers something else that would do it, we just need to find it
