Summary:
This program is designed for adult learners, so we have done our best to ensure that the course material can be completed in-class. During the spring and summer semesters, there will be no extra requirements outside of attending one weekly session.
During the summer semester we will take a break from in-person meetings, and individually complete four courses.
Courses:
The courses average about five hours of video content + quizzes + textbook reading. We are planning on allowing six weeks per course. This should allow time for quizzes and group discussion around the video content.
Reading will need to be done on your own time.
While all of the content will be available on-demand, we want to provide a group-learning setting.
We are finalizing the weekly time slots, but the current plan is:
Weekly time slots of:
- Sundays 9:30a-10:30a
- Wednesdays 5:00p-6:00p
- Wednesdays 6:15p-7:30p
Note: These time slots will all be covering the same content. We are providing multiple time slots, so that we can make this available to as many people as possible.
