1. I'm confused. What are the enrollment requirements?

I thought one had to be a super high achiever to take classes at Stanford. Or do these classes not include a degree?
Oh, I get it, to answer my own question, the page says:

Will I get university credit for taking this course?
No.

Hmm. I guess a little elitism is still alive and well. It might also be worthwhile considering classes that lead to some kind of degree or certification.

Edit: I did notice the class is FREE. That's pretty awesome!
