Top University Courses for Free

I just received an email from a friend with links to top university courses for free. I checked them out and they are indeed free and what’s great about them is that they can contain classes for the entire semester and not just one class. They also get updated quite frequently so you can follow along with the professor. My favorite is the Berkley Webcasts which seems to have the most courses and you can subscribe to RSS feeds for each course.
