How about a class on negotiation essentials? Meteorology? Speed-reading?
WorldCampus.psu.edu features Penn State’s introductory-level course in meteorology, METEO 101. The 12-lesson class can teach you how to distinguish “menacing clouds from sunny-day ones,” and how to read satellite images so that you can create your own forecasts.
NotreDameOnline.com offers a Negotiation Essentials course—useful even just for wrangling “remote-control rights.” You’ll learn “playing-it-cool questioning” and the “lawyer-like lingo” it takes to seal any deal.
Berkeley.edu can help you interpret “the strange sights and symbols” of your night journeys, thanks to its Psychology of Dreams course.
