MIT OpenCourseWare is an offering of free college-level engineering-related course materials to the public.[1]
While many courses are provided, they vary widely in popularity and usefulness. The site lists a ranking of its most popular courses, which tend to be the ones providing solutions to the problems.
The courses do suffer from some liberal bias. For example, its course on Microeconomics does not mention the important, Nobel-Prize-winning Coase Theorem anywhere in its syllabus,[2] and only mentions it in a narrow, understated manner in a lecture having the title "market failure" (a term never mentioned in the lecture).[3]
