Well, almost.  We’ve talked here before about listening to great university lectures through podcasts: I found free lectures and recordings from Yale, Princeton, and Oxford all through iTunes.  Just yesterday, and many of you may know of this already, a colleague told me about “Open Yale Courses,” a Yale website where you can choose either to watch or hear a full semester of an introductory Yale course.  The main page offers courses in philosophy, religious studies, astronomy, psychology, physics, political science, and English.  I’ll be spending my next month of lunches watching Professor Langdon Hammer teach Modern Poetry.  Here’s the page for the class, and here’s the course schedule.  I have little doubt that my watching will be in any way comparable to knowing the professor and being in the actual class, but it’s far better than watching bootlegged movies and YouTube drivel during my lunch break.
