3. MIT Teaches That?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Not all MIT courses are techie! Across MIT’s 35 world-class departments in five different schools, there are many interesting course subjects that may surprise--and delight--you: This month’s feature looks to answer the questions: How - and why - do people seek to capture everyday life on film? What can we learn from such films? To find a full description of 21A.337J / CMS.917J Documenting Culture, go to: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Anthropology/21A-337JSpring2004/CourseHome/index.htm
4. User Cheers from Canada - How You Can Help
---------------------------------------------------------------
“MIT has made a great leap for the education and intellectual
advancement of man-kind. To open up the institutions vast
reservoirs of knowledge not only to researchers but to common
people is a monumental and inspiring endeavour. I have perused
many courses that will help me in my future research and also,
I believe, in life. Thank you MIT.” - Student, Canada
We love hearing from people around the world who use MIT OCW materials to learn something new, improve their lives, or share what they learn to improve the lives of others. We are grateful that you are part of this open movement, but we need your help! MIT OCW will always be a free and open digital publication, but your donation (small or large) helps us continue to offer a high-quality publication of MIT’s course materials in the long term. Please donate online to MIT OCW at:

----------------------------------------------------------------
This month’s brain teaser: Venn diagrams can show how different parts of a sentence are logically related. How would you draw a Venn diagram to represent the sentence, "Everyone who flies (F) is both a man (M) and a woman (W)"? To find the answer, go to Chapter 15 in the Readings for 24.241 Logic I, Fall 2005.
