I am looking to get back into the groove of education following a long absence due to health reasons. The subjects that I am interested in studying at this time are mathematics (both pure and applied), physics, or computer science all at either the freshman or sophomore university level. I am hoping to have a sort of dry run before returning to school on a full-time or even just part-time basis. While self-studying is something that I believe I may be capable of; at this point my goal is just to flex my mental muscles and experience the structure of assignment deadlines and evaluations. Ideally these course(s) would cover similar material as conventional courses, have assignments graded by teachers, and provide the opportunity for students to ask questions of professors or tutors as well as for students to discuss the material among themselves.
I realize that I probably won't be able to get everything I am asking for, so I would just like the members to try and give me the closest thing. Some degree of grading and communication is a must, but I am more willing to bend on the specific subject matter or the precise method of evaluation(by professor/TA/volunteer/computer). I have tried to search the internet and physicsforums.com for something presently like this but have been unsuccessful; only finding references to programs at Stanford and MIT in news articles and forum posts circu 2012. The small handful of ongoing courses that I have been able to locate are much too far out of my desired topic area or have already ended their operation. If necessary I would be willing to pay a reasonable fee. If there is anything currently out there like this, I would greatly appreciate you helping me find it.
