Have you taken any of the courses?? I'm thinking about taking the coral biology one in January.

I took the one last year, (Invertebrate Zoology) and even though the reading and lecture list was too much for me to keep up with, I still was able to download the info and finish it at my own pace!
It opened up a whole new world for me with my reef tanks - the world that you can't always see with the naked eye! I've already signed on for the 1st one. Starts in January. Mitch 8)

Cool Brad,
I wonder where we're supposed to find the books? I found one on chapters.ca for like $54 (and am guessing the second is probly the same price). I guess I shouldn't balk at that after 5 years of $90 textbooks but still. Yeow! Christy

What's your take on the time commitment. It's all very interesting and tempting but I'm just not sure I can keep up with a lecture series course these days, I'm on the road too often and sometimes just have a hard enough time keeping afloat with just day-to-day survival!!! My university days are long gone ...

Christy, there was only one required text. Eric's book is "recommended" reading. I own it anyway.
Tony, I'm not sure about the time yet, but I should be able to manage. We have an "educational hour" at home each night, where the kids do their extra reading and my wife does her work (UVic student). I generally read some science related text, so I can listen to Eric instead during that time! :P
