Coursera courses provide one the opportunity of watching the teacher’s lectures/lessons more than one time, stop at junctures to take notes, and there is a transcript below each lesson video, including PDF lesson formats to refresh one at later dates.  Dr. Van Lent’s video lessons demonstrate a teacher who loves the subject matter and relish the opportunity to share her passion with others.   This has made learning fun!

I won an autographed copy of Tift Merritt’s latest release, Stitch of the World, and after playing a few times it found itself remaindered to the pile of CD’s to play on long car trips.

Peter Gabriel’s Biko

Bantu Stephen Biko (18 December 1946 – 12 September 1977) was a South African anti-apartheid activist. Ideologically an African nationalist and African socialist, he was at the forefront of a grassroots anti-apartheid campaign known as the Black Consciousness Movement during the late 1960s and 1970s. His ideas were articulated in a series of articles published under the pseudonym Frank Talk.
