I am not exactly ex military since I am still enlisted in the reserves.

I was responsible for keeping my entire platoon up to date on Basic first aid, and I think everyone should know at least the bare minimum.

The course would only take about a week, and the best I could hope for is to get you at a level, that if someone was hit by a car next to you, you might be able to keep him alive until the ambulance arrived without causing major harm..

I am not sure when I will have the time to do this, but if there is enough interest I will definitely do my best to find a few days free and throw something interesting together.

[EDIT] well it looks like I am actually going to have to do this, I can't offer an actual schedule yet since I have no idea when I will have time or how much I will need to prepare. I do however promise to post updates and links to the course when it does come into fruition.

[EDIT] I have registered the Course on U of R, anyone who wish to enrol may do so now, Still no syllabus unfortunately as I still need to work out the details, I have created a Subreddit for the course /r/FirstAidCourse

The only link there at the moment, is request as to how you want this to be done.

[EDIT] I have been spamming replies to everyone since I kind of figured no one would actually check back to see if there were updates, Sorry if this is bothering anyone just kind of figured it was necessary.

This would be a short course based around the very fundamentals of good chess play. It would start with a short intro about basic maneuvers such as forks, pins, and skewers. Then we would continue into the easiest opening for beginners, 1. e4, and some basic responses. We may also cover a response or two to 1. d4, another common move. This course would by no means turn you into a master, but it would give you a better understanding of chess. This course would likely be about a month with weekly or bi-weekly courses, depending on interest and how much time the majority of students have.

Prerequisites: Preferably knowledge of the basic rules of chess, but if not, I can teach them to you. Also a willingness to learn.

I have competed in a couple chess tournaments and know a fair amount about the game. I'm by no means a master, but I know enough to teach the basics, and hopefully help some people get into this awesome game.

UPDATE: There is now an official class at http://ureddit.com/class/41607/beginner-chess. Classes will be hopefully starting soon!

Course Description: This course is a workshop course. This curriculum would allow the student to not only develop writing skills, but also provides an introduction to creating contemporary literature. This includes flash fiction, short stories, as well as novels. Each week, students will be given a variety of writing prompts to choose from where they will create flash fiction around each prompt. They will be able to use the same characters and plot lines throughout the course if they so choose.

Prerequisites: A basic grasp of the English language as well as interest in writing short stories, flash fiction and novels are a must for this class.

Schedule: Lectures and prompts posted Monday, assignment to be posted by Friday, critiques and comments for fellow students through the following week until the next assignment is due.

Due to the large enrollment, peer editing and critiques will be very important.

About Me: I have a BA in English with a minor in Creative Writing. I'm currently working on my MFA in Creative Writing.

Locations: Class can be found here; subreddit can be found here.

Edit: Schedule, Class location

This course would be an online version of my freshman level Psyc 101 course. Taught from an evolutionary perspective, takers of the course would leave with a basic understanding of psychological phenomena and help prepare you for college level courses. Topics covered include:

• Nature vs. Nurture, or Nature and Nurture?

• Research strategies

• Behavioral genetics and evolutionary psychology

• The brain

• Development (physical, cognitive, emotional, sexual, and moral)

• Classical and Operant Conditioning

• Stress and Illness

• Introduction to memory

• Sensation and Perception

• Social Influences

• Psychological Illnesses (Abnormal)

• Psychological Illnesses (Anxiety/Depression/ADHD, etc.)

• Treatment

• Personality

This semester long course would focus on a subject area per week, though some subjects may take longer. I would also be available to answer any questions. I'm new to University of Reddit, but I love teaching, and ever since I left for the private sector, I haven't had a chance to teach again. Is anyone interested in an intro psychology class?

EDIT: Well... there are definitely enough of you that are interested, so I'll do it! Let me re-work my syllabus, and I'll get the course set up and ready to go starting (hopefully) next week. I'm going to look around UofReddit first and get a handle on how the other teachers teach their courses. Looking forward to it folks :)

EDIT 2: Alright guys, head on over to /r/IntroPsych and subscribe. I'll post the syllabus tomorrow, and the first lecture will start Tuesday, September August 28 at 6PM (1800) EST/ 2300 GMT. See you all there!

Basically I was looking for a way to learn Japanese. Hopefully starting with a basic course and then moving up to something more difficult.

I'd probably want to learn how to speak above all others. Reading/writing can come second.

EDIT: Thanks to user lemontie class is now in session! Head over to /r/uofjapanese to stay updated on classes.

I don't post a lot on reddit, so I hope I'm doing this, for lack of a better word, correctly lol.

I was thinking if enough people were interested I could make a series of piano lesson videos. I'm not like, a master of the piano, but I played in university in the performance department for a while and I'm confident I could provide quality lessons to beginner, middle, and up to the lower level of advanced players.

I also love writing all different styles of music (from classical piano to death metal and everything in between). I took music composition in university for a while too, and I think I could also give some quality instruction and/or help to anyone who wants to learn how to write music, but maybe doesn't know how to get started.

Over 20 million websites are using PHP as their method of displaying content to you, the user.

PHP is an open source language constantly being modified by thousands of people. The syntax of PHP is very equivalent to many other programming languages, such as C.

Learning the syntax of one language can ultimately teach you the syntax of many other common-ground languages.

In this course I would be developing an easy to follow syllabus starting off with the bare essentials, gradually working our way up to Object Oriented Programming (OOP) in PHP and eventually developing our first application that users can interact with.

I would open this course if I could get a significant amount of users to follow.

Qualifications:

• Using PHP for over 7 years

• Have been teaching PHP practices for over 6 years through video tutorial

EDIT: Enough interest has sparked and I have opened the class for signups. The class will be hosted on UReddit only! link to class on ureddit

Just curious if this would be possible, or desirable.

I love to cook and have been good at it since college. It's a great way to impress a date, enjoy yourself, discover new foods, etc. My basic idea would be to focus on a mix of simple but impressive recipes, a few "beyond the basics" techniques, unique ingredients and how to use them... that sort of thing. The vision is to make affordable, feasible, gourmet cooking (and eating!) accessible to all. Thoughts and feedback welcome!

EDIT: (non-ninja, sorry...) Wow, what an amazing response. Number 8 on the homepage... Guess I better get my crap together! See the proposed syllabus below, and I'm working on getting a little bit of food brand love for the students. In my day job, I'm a retail strategy consultant, so hopefully that will pay off with some goodies for the students.

I'm passionate about food for the simple reason that I, like most of the "affluent" world (which, btw, is all of you with Internet access), actually have a choice most days what I eat. Amazing food isn't expensive, but it does take some knowledge, experimentation, and passion. You guys (and gals) have really motivated me to put together a kickass course, so please keep up with the feedback.

Hey guys ! I'm new to this UReddit thing, so if I make no sense, tell me.

Three months ago I decided to make my handwriting better-looking. I ended up being sucked into Calligraphy, as my submission history will probably tell you. I think I could teach a course on how to make your handwriting look better in, like, two weeks.

However it sounds like a complicated and time-consuming thing to do, so I wouldn't want to do it and not have anyone care. So... Do you ?

Also, would people prefer a longer in depth course or a quick "just teach me everything" kind of course ?

To be more specific, this would be a class that would help people that live either by themselves or with a roommate get away from things like ramen noodles or picking up fast food and cook some tasty meals on a budget that fits the single life. Cooking for the bachelor life I guess we could call it. The key points would be:

-Cooking strategies such as cooking in bulk, what can be frozen, how long certain foods will last in the fridge or freezer, etc.

-How to budget for certain dishes and how to utilize different grocery store sales (for example, if hamburger is on sale, buy some and use it in chili, swedish meatballs, etc.)

-Most of all, stressing the EASE of how to cook some things that seems intimidating at first but can be conquered even by those who lack cooking skills.

-Many other points as well, depending on the feedback I get and what people would be interesting in doing.

It would cover a variety of dishes, both healthy and unhealthy and how to adjust certain foods to better fit your personal taste.

I'm open to constructive criticism as well as suggestions to make this something that would help people living on their own be able to eat more of a variety of foods that save money and taste awesome.

Edit: Wow, I didn't expect this much feedback so soon. This is great, I will set up this class and keep everyone posted!

Edit#2: I have created the class. Here is the link to sign up http://ureddit.com/class/209 Class starts July 6th.

Edit#3: I have created a subreddit for this class. Here is the link: http://www.reddit.com/r/CookingForOne/ I will be posting all class info there when the class starts.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested if I offered a basic, Japanese 101 type course. I'm busy finishing up my real life classes right now, but I could start class in a month or so when I am done with the spring term.

In the class I would cover things such as:

• hiragana

• katakana

• basic kanji

• vocabulary

• basic grammar

• Focus on reading and writing, with some speaking/listening

It would probably run for most of the summer (maybe May-July or so?). I also might include some special lessons on Japanese culture (such as important holidays/festivals), and will try to tie in culture throughout the other lessons.

I can update this post with more info on how long it would last, more specific lessons, etc. once I know if there is an interest and have time to draft up some lesson plans and whatnot. So, is anyone interested?

EDIT: Wow, it actually looks like there's quite a bit of interest for this. Okay, I'm super busy with school right now (I have a ridiculous amount of homework/papers/presentations, and it's not even finals yet! D: ). But, I will get back to everyone with more information on the start date and everything by...say, the end of the month, possibly sooner. Also, feel free to comment if there is anything that people would specifically like to cover, and I'll try to see if there's a way I can work it into the class! Thanks!

I made a post a while back. We will be learning how to program in Python.

What is Python?

Here's directly from the wikipedia

Python is a general-purpose, interpreted high-level programming language whose design philosophy emphasizes code readability. Its syntax is said to be clear and expressive. Python has a large and comprehensive standard library.

Here's from my mouth

Python is an excellent programming language for beginner, intermediate, and advanced people. It is easy to learn, easy to read, easy to understand, yet it can do so much. I know Python very well, and so I have decided to share my knowledge on Python with others.

What will we be learning?

Everything

I

Know.

TL;DR: Quite a bit

Lesson Count: 3

I have made this post because I've only now got around to starting this. Now I have time to be active. Therefor, I need people knowing about it.

TL;DR: Head over to /r/UoRPython2_7 to learn Python.

First, we would like to thank everyone that has pledged to our Kickstarter already. We appreciate it!

The way Kickstarter works is that if the fundraising goal has not been met by the end of the campaign, no funding is given and the pledges are all canceled.

Please help us reach our goal and make Open Compass - the new, much improved iteration of UReddit - happen.

Here's a link to our Kickstarter.

I won't link to the associated website so as to avoid sending traffic there, but someone keeps making a "Principles of Social Competence" class that advertises a free ebook but links to a paid class. The ebook is full of misogyny. I've canceled the class three times and banned a "teacher" twice.

Anyone that creates a hateful class or that tries to use the UReddit platform to directly make money will be banned without discussion.

This is a general policy. It will be enforced consistently.
