Just one more update to make my list of courses complete before I start rating them. I've recently completed 4 more courses (19 to 22 in the list). Since the last of these four courses was completed on April 18, 2016, it seems I have burned out on the science and math classes. The only class I've taken since then was one on the Music of the Beatles from Rutgers University. It was a refreshing change and gave me a reason to listen to all the Beatles songs on Spotify.

I've kept copious notes on my classes and now have two spiral binders to help me review the content of the classes. Reviews of the classes should be coming soon. Otherwise, my recollection of them will be too vague to be of much use.

Here is my list so far.
