Introduction to the Constitution (Updated Video Link)

Hillsdale College LogoAs a followup to Skip’s post on the Hillsdale College Constitution 101 class, I wanted to make you aware of some excellent video-lectures called an “Introduction to the Constitution,”  that you may want to watch before you proceed to ‘Constitution 101.’   You’ll have access to these if you register for the free Constitution 101 course, (a well as PDF’s of all the related founding documents, and study guides)  but I wanted to post them over the next few days to give you a taste of what you can look forward to in Constitution 101.

Besides, like many of you, we plan to do a lot of things at the Grok that we never end up doing because there are only so many hours in the day.  By posting these here we encourage ourselves, and hopefully others, to take advantage of these excellent opportunities–opportunities that arm us all with knowledge our progressive friends would rather you not have.

What better motivation is there than that?

Hillsdale College presents “Constitution 101”

You know, that old dusty document that those old white men wrote that US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg doesn’t seem to like much?  Well, we do at the ‘Grok and when this post over at National Review Online showed up, I figured I’d give it a gander:

Hillsdale College is almost alone among colleges and universities in making its students take a course on the U.S. Constitution. Now you can take it as well, via Constitution 101, an online 10-week course:

In this course, you can:

  • watch lectures from the same Hillsdale faculty who teach on campus;
  • study the same readings taught in the College course;
  • submit questions for weekly Q&A sessions with the faculty;
  • access a course study guide;
  • test your knowledge through weekly quizzes;
  • and upon completion of the course, receive a certificate from Hillsdale College.

Well, I clicked on the link, and have signed up for the course.  They do ask for a donation, but the course itself is free!  A quick syllabus after the jump from the Registration site.
