I want to study Oxford’s “English Language and Literature” without going in debt for it. So far I’ve found a couple of PDFs which provide quite a reading list and the course’s structure, but it’s no course content. I’m really curious if there’s a place for what I’m looking for.
You might want to look into doing a class audit. It’s free. You essentially just sit in on a course and learn and everything, but you don’t get a real grade or credits.
As far as recording lectures, there is probably someone taking the course that might be willing to do it for you, but other than that, it’s not something you typically see available anywhere. It may be a licensing thing or something like that.
Seriously, look into auditing.
