[Fredslist] FW: One Day University -- satisfy your intellectual curiosity

Wed Sep 21 14:00:59 EDT 2011

All: 

This morning, I received the e-mail below from the founder of One Day
University.  He asks that we spread the word about ODU, and I think that's a
good idea, as I've enjoyed using their product/service several times over
the past few years, and have registered for another one in early October.
Essentially, they provide you with about a dozen choices and you select 4 or
5 one-hour-long courses on varying topics of interest (for example:
neuroscience, politics, literature, psychology, history, art, medicine, law)
taught by popular Ivy-quality professors - all in one day.  There are other
variations on this scenario, but that's the basic set-up.  I can think of
only one relative "clunker" among all of the hour-long classes I've taken,
and it probably was only because that one paled in comparison to the others,
some of which were stellar (both literally - astronomy - and figuratively).

When I took my first ODU course, the pre-recession price was literally
multiples of what they're charging now, and the quality has remained
consistent.  I took my daughter to one day of classes while she was a high
school senior to give her some insight into what college classes can be like
(although admittedly these are better, because they are presented by the
most popular professors at elite universities, and they jettison the dull
minutae and tend to provide either an in-depth investigation into a single
question or a comprehensive overview of a broader topic).  I went to one day
of courses on my own.  I also took a friend/colleague to another session a
couple of years ago, and he still talks about it enthusiastically.  And in
early October, I'll be taking my wife and daughter to another (this one's a
shorter evening event).  

You can't beat the quality, new discounted price, or the mental stimulation.
I encourage you to check it out, as I doubt you'd be disappointed.  See
below for current offering details. 

Best regards,

Dear One Day University Students,

  On Sunday, October 16th at the New York Hilton, we'll be hosting our Fall
One Day University with twelve great professors offering twelve fascinating
classes - see the full detailed schedule for the day at the bottom of this

  I honestly think this will be the very best event we've ever run since I
founded One Day University five years ago. It's truly a great group of
renown professors and fascinating topics. That's why I'm hoping you can help
me tell as many people as possible about this event. Here's how:

1) If you have friends who you think would enjoy the event, please forward
this email and let them know about it. They can register and pay your
discounted price of $99 by using coupon code "Friend" at our website
