Course Logistics
Format
This is a six-week course offered online through Moodle, an online interface that organizes course content by week and can be accessed whenever is convenient to the participant. Each week consists of pre-recorded video lectures to view online and additional supplemental electronic materials that may be downloaded. A weekly live Zoom webinar with speakers provides an opportunity to ask questions and have further discussion on that week’s topics. There are no additional required assignments or exams.
To get the most out of the experience, you should expect to spend approximately 3 hours per week engaging in this course. Content should be accessed weekly to avoid falling behind in topics and discussions.
