'''Free University''' allows Williams students to coordinate and lead courses based on the personal interests and/or hobbies. Courses available for Winter Study 2012 are listed below. If you're interested in developing and teaching a course, contact Harry Gilbert at hhg1. If you're interested in taking a course, contact the instructor for additional information.
'''Making Mashups''': Have you ever listened to a mashup and wished you could make your own? Now you can! Using the free program Audacity, we will explore how to overlay songs, create transitions, time/pitch bend, level tracks, and more. Absolutely no previous musical experience is required (seriously), and by the end of the month, you will have created your very own mashup. A laptop is not necessary, but is very much recommended if you would like to follow along during the meeting. The class meets at 10 am to noon on Tuesdays in Paresky (Room)220. Contact Charlie Sellars at chs1 if you are interested in taking the course.
'''Sabermetrics''': Do you like baseball? Do you like numbers? This course will teach you why everything you thought you knew about baseball is wrong. We’ll cover the value of defense, why the Tampa Bay Rays are brilliant, whether hitting streaks have predictive value, pitch-tracking analysis, roster construction, and lots of other stuff. Obviously, there will be no homework. The class meets at 5 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays (although the first lecture will not be until the 17th) in the Presser Choral Hall. Contact Taylor Halperin at tlh3 if you are interested in taking the course.
