Physics, Hip Hop and AP Exams

Posted by Kenneth Ronkowitz on


When MIT says that you can get all their courses (1,800 now) from OpenCourseware, they're not kidding. I'm guessing that they started with the big guns like Physics and such. This week they released the ever popular Biochemistry of Sulfur. And if you don't think geeks can be cool, check out MIT's course on Hip Hop. Read the catalog description:

This class explores the political and aesthetic foundations of hip hop. Students trace the musical, corporeal, visual, spoken word, and literary manifestations of hip hop over its 30 year presence in the American cultural imagery. Students also investigate specific black cultural practices that have given rise to its various idioms. Students create material culture related to each thematic section of the course. Scheduled work in performance studio helps students understand how hip hop is created and assessed.

Very krunk. I checked for assessment materials, but couldn't find anything.

On a more serious note, with AP exams coming up in May, you really could use the study materials for AP Biology, AP Calculus (AB and BC), and AP Physics (B and C).
