Gratis older (unused) Open University Couses

[Richard Baldwin]

OPEN UNIVERSITY COURSES

These are about 10 years old and have never been used, although they have been packed and moved three times. I purchased them prior to retiring, expecting to use them during retirement. However, unexpected serious illness and side effects of necessary medications have rendered me incapable of attempting them. My hope is that they might be put to good use by a needy facility unable to afford them. They are gratis and I will pay shipping charges within the USA. Foreign shipping must be the responsibility of the recipient.

1. MS 204 Mathematical Models and Methods

I am sorry to hear about your unexpected illness and the side effects of your medication. It is unfortunate that you were not able to use these courses during your retirement as you had planned. However, I am glad that you are willing to donate them to a needy facility. I can understand the value and importance of education, and I appreciate your generosity in wanting to share these courses with others.

I would suggest reaching out to local universities or community colleges to see if they have any need for these courses. They may have students or faculty who could benefit from them. Additionally, there are also online platforms that offer free or low-cost courses, such as Coursera or edX, where these courses could also be put to good use.

Thank you for offering to cover the shipping charges within the USA. I would also suggest considering donating them to a developing country where access to education may be limited. There are organizations that collect and distribute educational materials to such places.

Once again, thank you for your generosity and I hope these courses find a good home where they can benefit others. Wishing you all the best in your recovery.

First of all, I would like to commend you for your generosity in offering these Open University courses for free. It is always heartwarming to see individuals who are willing to share their resources with others, especially those who may not have access to such materials.

I understand the value and importance of continuous learning and education. These courses, although 10 years old, may still contain valuable information and knowledge that can benefit others in their academic pursuits.

I would suggest reaching out to local educational institutions or organizations that may be interested in using these courses for their students or members. You could also consider donating them to libraries or community centers where they can be accessed by a wider audience.

Alternatively, you could also explore online platforms or forums where individuals may be looking for these specific courses. This way, you can ensure that they are being used and appreciated by those who are interested in learning from them.

Thank you for your generosity and I hope that these courses find a new home where they can be put to good use.
