A YouTube lecture series by V. Balakrishnan (IIT Madras) covering classical physics, presented as dense, insight-heavy lectures without problem sets or grades.

Commenters call the lecture series amazing and incredibly dense with insight, though one notes it is not a graded course with problem sets.

    MIT's 8.05x, Mastering Quantum Mechanics (https://www.edx.org/course/mastering-quantum-mechanics-mitx-...)

    It's the only MOOC I've taken that was anywhere close to the kind of experience I had as an actual undergraduate at MIT. Outstanding lectures with accompanying lecture notes, challenging but rewarding problem sets, lots of interaction by the professor and other staff in the forums.

    It's not a course in the sense of having problem sets and grades, but V. Balakrishnan's lecture series on classical physics (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5E4E56893588CBA8) is amazing, just incredibly dense with insight.
