Critical Issues in Urban Education (Coursera)

https://www.coursera.org/learn/urban-education

Urban school reform in the United States is characterized by contentious, politicized debate. This course explores a set of critical issues in the education and educational reform space, with a focus on aspects of the field that have sparked controversy and polarized views. We will dig into these debates, situating them within the larger history of public education and school reform, and considering the viewpoints, the evidence, and translation of issues into educational policy. We will consi

Global Warming I: The Science and Modeling of Climate Change (Coursera)

https://www.coursera.org/learn/global-warming

This class describes the science of global warming and the forecast for humans’ impact on Earth’s climate. Intended for an audience without much scientific background but a healthy sense of curiosity, the class brings together insights and perspectives from physics, chemistry, biology, earth and atmospheric sciences, and even some economics—all based on a foundation of simple mathematics (algebra).

Global Warming II: Create Your Own Models in Python (Coursera)

https://www.coursera.org/learn/global-warming-model

This class provides a series of Python programming exercises intended to explore the use of numerical modeling in the Earth system and climate sciences. The scientific background for these models is presented in a companion class, Global Warming I: The Science and Modeling of Climate Change. This class assumes that you are new to Python programming (and this is indeed a great way to learn Python!), but that you will be able to pick up an elementary knowledge of Python syntax from another class

Internet Giants: The Law and Economics of Media Platforms (Coursera)

https://www.coursera.org/learn/internetgiants

This seven-week course will explore the relationship between law and technology with a strong focus on the law of the United States with some comparisons to laws around the world, especially in Europe. Tech progress is an important source of economic growth and raises broader questions about the human condition, including how culture evolves and who controls that evolution. Technology also matters in countless other ways as it often establishes the framework in which governments interact with th

Machine Learning: Concepts and Applications (Coursera)

https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning-applications

This course gives you a comprehensive introduction to both the theory and practice of machine learning. You will learn to use Python along with industry-standard libraries and tools, including Pandas, Scikit-learn, and Tensorflow, to ingest, explore, and prepare data for modeling and then train and evaluate models using a wide variety of techniques. Those techniques include linear regression with ordinary least squares, logistic regression, support vector machines, decision trees and ensembles,

Software Defined Networking (Coursera)

https://www.coursera.org/learn/sdn

In this course, you will learn about software defined networking and how it is changing the way communications networks are managed, maintained, and secured.

Understanding the Brain: The Neurobiology of Everyday Life (Coursera)

https://www.coursera.org/learn/neurobiology

Learn how the nervous system produces behavior, how we use our brain every day, and how neuroscience can explain the common problems afflicting people today. We will study functional human neuroanatomy and neuronal communication, and then use this information to understand how we perceive the outside world, move our bodies voluntarily, stay alive, and play well with others.
