It’s Getting Tempting, Isn’t It?

Here are some samples of what you can expect as a member of my new site, Liberty Classroom. The juicier topics are reserved for members, but these videos give you a sense of the caliber of the faculty and the knowledge you can expect to acquire by listening to the courses.

(You do not need to view the lectures if you prefer mp3 audio files, and any PowerPoints used in the lectures are available to you as stand-alone files for later viewing.)

From Western Civilization to 1500, here’s the introductory lecture:

From Western Civilization Since 1500, here’s “Renaissance Humanism”:

Also from Western Civilization Since 1500, here’s “Absolutism and Mercantilism”:

From U.S. History to 1877, here’s “The Southern Colonies and the Celts”:

    I’m really interested in joining Liberty Classroom.  However, I have one question before I do.  Are there any special technical requirements that I need on my computer in order to view the lectures?

    No. Everything is in a standard format. One click and you’re watching/listening.

    Awesome! Thanks for the samples! (As I said before I am going to become a member regardless, but thought this would be great way to advertise to those who weren’t really sure what they were getting)

  • Jordan

     Excellent!  I shall be joining then, within the next few days.  :-D

    Interesting how yanks do the possessive apostrophe in names ending in ‘s’.
    I would have used Woods’ Liberty Classroom. What’s the rule?
     
    Anyway, moving along…

    i am really tempted but its just too expensive!!!  Can i buy a course separately?  also i think it would be good if one could have a sample lecture from each course, because I would not want to buy any lectures from Brion McClanahan after listening to him!

  • Jordan

    One-syllable words ending in ‘s’ get an apostrophe and an ‘s’.  Multiple syllable words ending in ‘s’ just get an apostrophe.
