[edit] Full list of teachers

I've compiled a full wikified list of TTC professors (that had courses in print as of May 7, 2006), but only put those into the article that already have articles. What follows is the full list for future reference and/or incorporation. Sandstein 15:15, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] List of courses

I have a list of courses, but i am not sure if this should be incorporated. it is 280 courses or so....-- ExpImptalkcon 00:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I suggest not. WP:NOT a collection of indiscriminate information or a duplicate of the company's website; plus the individual courses are hardly notable enough for their own articles. Sandstein 04:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. The list will change all the time - TTC is better staffed to maintain such a database at their website. Of course, any course that has its own Wikipedia article could be listed -- some of these courses have transcripts longer than books - but that's a different question - since they are mostly survey style courses I'm not sure they would qualify as being notable enough for a Wikipedia article, but a few may. -- Stbalbach 15:12, 10 October 2006 (UTC)


Here is the full list as of 20 April 2007, so that it's on file.

I agree that TTC should handle the list.

I removed the course list from the article. The company is offering new courses every month and they have a web site which lists them - there is no reasons to repeat that list here, which will soon be out of date anyway. In fact the list of teachers should be converted into a category, and the list from the article removed as well.. it's on my list of things to do. -- Stbalbach 14:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of instructors

Please note that Category:Instructors of The Teaching Company was deleted per this CFD discussion. If any editor should desire to restore the list of teachers to this article (it was removed on October 13), it is available here and in previous revisions. – Black Falcon (Talk) 01:45, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
