Free Online College Classes on the Rise: MIT, Harvard, and Coursera

In the economic climate that has been forecasted for many young Americans, it may seem as if the future of the job market and educational system bleak; students are afraid to take out loans and go to school because they don’t know what the job market will be like once they graduate so many don’t go to school and lack the skills to have a high paying career.

According to Mary Beth Marklein, of USA Today, if you have an Internet connection, access to a computer and the drive to learn without requiring an incentives program, you may be in luck; two venture capital companies, Udacity and Coursera, have teamed together to created a new learning platform called MOOCs or Massive Open Online Courses. The idea, is to create a platform for learning where the contributors account for part of the learning material or experience.

It’s a familiar formula for learning, that is free because no grades or degree are earned. As it stands, it has not been decided whether or not students will receive credit for completing a course or whether students will eventually need to pay a tuition. According to NYTimes.com, a faculty team, with Coursera, will be meeting early next year to assess the progress of this new mode of learning.

Binge drinking is a powerful social tool on college campuses. In fact, recent studies indicate that many students binge drink to increase their social status. Binge drinking is defined as when a female has more than four drinks in a setting or when a male has five or more drinks during a single social engagement. Recently, researchers from the American Sociological Association announced their findings on this topic at their annual meeting in Denver.

According to the research done by this group, students who are part of minority social groups often binge drink just so that they will be accepted by their peers. The study looked at the drinking habits of students from a variety of minority social groups. Some of them were female, some were students of color, and others were poor. Some of the other students included in this study were also LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) students. However, it is not just students from minority groups who binge drink to gain social acceptance.
