The US Army paid for most of my undergrad, so while there is still some expense it didn't cost as much to me as staying in-state in AZ.

Ooh, who wants to take this with me? Conveniently, it starts up at the end of the basketball season. Dan Ariely is a very interesting author, I bet his course is pretty fascinating (if you're in to that sort of thing.)
Maybe this would be a better starter course (though not Duke-based):

I would love to, but it depends on State. If I get into State, I'll be pretty busy taking a class in the Spring. While I'd love to take this class with Dan Ariely, I hope I'm taking a class at State.DevilAlumna wrote:https://www.coursera.org/#course/behavioralecon

I can't think that far ahead, but this looks to be right up my alley. I know it will come as a shock, but people who work in the courthouse in the Varnish Zone see and deal with irrational behavior every once in a while.DevilAlumna wrote:https://www.coursera.org/#course/behavioralecon
