OCW has just updated a core foundational course, 15.S21 Nuts and Bolts of Business Plans. The course has been taught at MIT for more than 25 years by its creator, Joseph Hadzima. Thanks to his experience founding more than 100 companies, Hadzimaâs understanding of how to get a business off the ground is unmatched.
Videos Viewable in Two Ways
The course site has lecture videos and lecture notes, viewable in conventional, single-screen presentation or adjacently in a side-by-side viewer (a first for OCW). Each lecture has a full set of readings, and most topics have a slew of related resources from which you can learn more.

Writing courses rank among the most important offerings in any academic curriculum, since nearly everyone needs to know how to write clearly and cogently, no matter what field they go into.

Countless other OCW courses from across the curriculum include a writing component to fulfill MITâs undergraduate communication requirement.
The latest addition to this dazzling treasure chest is 21W.747 Rhetoric, taught by Steven Strang, the founder and director of MITâs Writing and Communication Center.

Through the Educational Studies Program at MIT, students have the opportunity to teach courses to high schoolers and middle schoolers on a wide variety of topics â some serious, some not so much â including the history of heavy metal, probability, and medical device design.
