Why does a HS/freshman-level discrete math course count as "advanced"? Same with that undergrad algorithms course at UIUC (though it does have great lecture notes).

You're right, it doesn't really. When I started building this list it was more carefully given over to graduate-level courses. It evolved into a bit of a repository of courses that aligned with my interests and thought were good.

I'll add a couple of courses I've really enjoyed at CMU ( http://www.cs.cmu.edu ): 15-410 Operating System Design and Implementation: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~410/ 15-251 Great Theoretical Ideas in Computer Science (webpage might be out of date): http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/course/15-251/

Ha, I'm currently wearing my 251 course staff ("yer sould = pwned") shirt as I type this.

The most recent website is contained in https://colormygraph.ugrad.cs.cmu.edu/ . One of the TAs used the course as a testing grounds for his pedagogy research, which has students grading each other (doing "verifications") as part of their assignment, and spent a while building the course infrastructure to support it. (We then grade them on their grading.) After a bit of tweaking (e.g.: we quickly realized the students would primarily benefit from verifying a couple problems rather than all of them), it wound up working really well!

MIT's OpenCourseWare is a fantastic project. It's been a while since I was involved with it, but I contacted them a few years ago and helped TeX up some of the notes (for Physics courses, not CS). Anyhow, if you feel inspired or just want to learn a subject even better by reading its notes carefully enough to typeset them, consider contacting OCW and asking if they've got anything available. It's a good experience and it's nice to think about how many people benefit from it.
