Day 4: 10 Courses You Would Like To Take

Day 4: List 10 courses you would love to see and take in Coursera and what would be in their curriculum.

1. I would like to take a course on this history of calligraphy. The curriculum would include where, when, why and how calligraphy first started. What are the origins, what were the first tools used, who started this practice and how did it grow and evolve into what it is today.

2. I would love to take a course on parenting your six-year old. The curriculum would include how to create a job list, how to step away while they are doing their homework, and how to encourage responsibility and being in charge of their own stuff.

3. I would like to see a course on living as a minimalist. The curriculum would include a checklist of simple, everyday items that you need in every area of your home. Do I really need a TV in every room? Probably not.

4. I would love to take a course on yoga exercises for pregnant ladies. The curriculum would include the best and safest yoga poses for pregnant women, breathing exercises for when you are stressed out throughout the day, and power yoga poses to feel confident within your growing and changing body.

5. I would like to take a course on coding for the non-coder. I love Blogger, but there are changes that I want to make that I know are simple but I don't know how to do them. This course curriculum would include coding language for simple changes like centering your blog header, adding your own photo header, adding your own font, creating a signature and other simple things that you can do for your blog.

6. I would really like to take a course on how to have a fabulously efficient garage sale. The curriculum would include how to price items, how to label each item with a price so you don't have to spend a ton of time deciding how much you want for that old pair of shoes, how to prep and plan in the days ahead, how to market your garage sale (post updates on neighborhood app), how to create signs people can follow, how to hide other stuff in your garage so people can't ask if it's for sale, how to respond when someone offers you 50 cents when you just told them an item cost $1, and how to team up with friends who are selling different things than you are. Oh my, I think I would really like to make a course like this!

7. I would like to take a course on how to change careers in your mid-late 30s. The curriculum would include interviews with people who did make a switch, what were some of their reservations, what were the benefits/downsides, and how to update your resume to highlight your skills to show how they will help you in your new position. 

8. I would like to take a course on gardening for those people who don't like gardening but just want to keep a plant alive. The curriculum would include the best plants to get if you don't have a green thumb, and what to do when someone gives you a plant as a gift. I would also like to know if plant food is really necessary, or is water enough.

9. I would like to take a course on how to save money with three kids. The curriculum would include essentials to buy and everything else to stay away from, how to find local activities that are fun and free, and places to shop for the best discounts. 

10. I would like to take a course on how to start a meetup group. The curriculum would include where do I begin, how do I find people to join me, how do I market/advertise the meetup, and how can I turn it into something where I could possibly make money.
