| "Contract Law: From Trust to Promise to Contract" |
| "Learn about contracts from Harvard Law Professor Charles Fried, one of the world's leading authorities on contract law. Contracts are promises that the law will enforce. But when will the law refuse to honor a promise? What happens when one party does not hold to their part of the deal? This version of the course adds new units on Interpretation, Agency, Partnerships, Corporations, and Government Regulation. We are exposed to contracts in all areas of our life -- agreeing to terms when downloading a new computer program, hiring a contractor to repair a leaking roof, and even ordering a meal at a restaurant. Knowing the principles of contracts is not just a skill needed by lawyers, it illuminates for everyone a crucial institution that we use all the time and generally take for granted. This contract law course, with new materials and updated case examples, is designed to introduce the range of issues that arise when entering and enforcing contracts. It will provide an introduction to what a contract is and also analyze the purpose and significance of contracts. Then, it will discuss the intent to create legal relations, legality and morality, and the distinction between gifts and bargains. The course also investigates common pitfalls: one-sided promises, mistake, fraud, and frustration. With the knowledge of what makes contracts and how they can go wrong, Professor Fried will discuss remedies and specific performance. Finally, Professor Fried will introduce how contracts can create rights for third parties. The course's instructor, Charles Fried, has been teaching at Harvard Law School for more than 50 years and has written extensively on contracts. Not only is Professor Fried a leading authority on contract law, but he also utilizes a story-telling approach to explaining the topic, which creates a unique and interesting class experience."

| "The Divine Comedy: Dante's Journey to Freedom" |
| "Learning to read poetry is learning to do the deep magic of language. It's learning to speak to the dead. At first the book just sits there silent as the grave, but if we listen carefully then, softly at first, the poetry begins to speak to us and we find ourselves speaking to it in response. Dante is the master of speaking with the dead. He convinces us that the dead can tell us things we do not know—things we cannot discover about the meaning of life because we are still in the middle of it. He shows us that conversations with the dead can change the way that we look at life. You and I may not have enough imagination to explore the realms of death that open up in the middle of life, and Dante knows that no one can find their way through life without a guide. This course will help you discover the magic of Dante's poetry and Dante will teach you to imagine the deepest terrors and the highest hopes that are still undiscovered in your heart. Only then will you be in a position to decide finally, for yourself, who you choose to become. In this course, you will begin to question for yourself the meaning of human freedom, responsibility and identity by reading and responding to Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. The Comedy , which is richly steeped in the medieval culture of 14th century, still speaks vividly to modern readers struggling with the questions “who am I?” and “what meaning or value can my life have?” Dante struggled with the same questions before coming to a moment of vision that wholly transformed him as a person. This course is presented to you through the MyDante platform, an online environment developed by Professor Frank Ambrosio in collaboration with the Georgetown University Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS). Throughout the course, you will be asked to reflect on Dante's interpretation of freedom, how it functions in the formation of personal identity, and whether we might be able to find appropriate metaphors to discuss these issues in our modern lives. You, the modern reader, will only understand the full implications of Dante's poetry if you participate with it in a way that is personal and genuinely contemplative. Through the MyDante platform, you will learn to know yourself in your own historical, personal, and spiritual contexts as you journey toward a richer understanding of your freedom, identity, and responsibility as a person."

The final examination is timed and has a weight of 40%. The written paper has a weight of 50%, is submitted to Turnitin, a text-matching software, and is instructor-marked. If you enrol in the audit track, you will have access to all the videos and other resources while the course is open, but you will not have access to the graded assessment tasks. In addition, audit participants will not be eligible to receive a course certificate upon completion of the course. Both enrolment tracks are valuable. However, if you decide to enrol in the Verified enrolment track, please ensure you will be able to write a Masters level paper. Plagiarism and cheating, including (i) copying and pasting text from other sources and (ii) using information from other sources without full and compliant referencing, will result in a grade of zero. This course runs multiple times throughout the year."

| "Women Making History: Ten Objects, Many Stories" |
| "As we approach the centennial of the passage of women’s suffrage in 1920, there has been a recent burst of activism among American women. Women are running for political office in record numbers. Women are organizing and taking to the streets to demand change. Women are grappling with inclusion and intersectionality. While some of this activity may have been a response to the 2016 presidential elections, its roots lie deep in 20th-century history — a history richly preservedin Harvard’s Schlesinger Library building on the library’s 75th Anniversary Exhibit. This course exemplifies the importance of archives in themaking of history. Professors Laurel Ulrich and Jane Kamensky, along with colleagues from across Harvard University and beyond, show how women in the 20th-century United States pushed boundaries, fought for new rights, and challenged contemporary notions of what women could and should do. Through the exploration of ten iconic objects from the Schlesinger collection, they demonstrate how women created change by embracing education, adopting new technologies, and creating innovative works of art; pushing against discrimination and stepping into new roles in public and in private."

| "Este curso se desarrolló con el apoyo del Programa Energías Renovables y Eficiencia Energética (4E) en Centroamérica, implementado por la Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH para el Sistema de la Integración Centroamericana (SICA). Actualmente, el aprovechamiento de energías renovables es un factor de mucho interés a diferentes escalas de la actividad humana. En especial, en una gran mayoría de países desarrollados y en desarrollo, los sistemas eléctricos han incorporado fuentes de energía renovable entre las cuales destacan la energía eólica y la solar. La operación de estos sistemas, así como la planificación del despacho y su gestión de energía requieren tomar en cuenta el factor del pronóstico en variables eólicas y solares que posteriormente se transforman a energía eléctrica, resultando en un pronóstico para la planificación de generación y despacho de energía eléctrica. El presente curso desarrolla los conceptos sobre la generación de pronósticos de Energía Renovable Variable (ERV), las diferentes metodologías existentes y las características de su aplicación a nivel operativo. El curso se inicia con la descripción de las ERV, con un enfoque en la energía eólica y solar fotovoltaica, así como el impacto de su variabilidad en la operación de las unidades generadoras; posteriormente se introducen los conceptos de pronóstico de viento y radiación solar, y el uso de éstos por parte de los operadores de los sistemas de generación y despacho de energía eléctrica. Como contenido complementario se describen los métodos generales de pronóstico desde el punto de vista matemático-estadístico para luego desarrollar su uso en el pronóstico de ERV. Se describen las características de las series de tiempo y su descomposición, el uso de técnicas básicas de pronóstico como suavizamiento exponencial, ARIMA y otros modelos avanzados. En la segunda unidad del curso, se desarrollan conceptos básicos de meteorología, la dinámica y estructura de la atmósfera, circulación vertical y estabilidad atmosférica, así como la descripción de equipamiento para la medición de variables del tiempo y sus estándares operativos; todo esto complementa el hecho del uso del pronóstico numérico del tiempo como una base de sistemas de pronósticos operativos. Este contenido introductorio permite trabajar los temas específicos para el pronóstico de viento y sus aplicaciones a la generación de energía en parques eólicos: análisis de distribuciones de viento y uso de las curvas de potencia, pronóstico centralizado o descentralizado, métricas de calidad del pronóstico, así como las estrategias de implementación de un sistema de pronóstico basado en modelos numéricos de la atmósfera, sus principales componentes y requerimientos.
