Schedule:

 

Every Tuesday: I will post a podcast and accompanying notes by 6 PM. These will cover the topics for the week, as well as your weekly assignment, to be completed by Tuesday (12 noon) of the following week. Not to worry: you won't be graded on your assignment and turning in work is not necessary, though you will gain more if you complete the assignment. For those who complete all their assignments on time, you will be sent a small treat at the end of the course!

Other media and resources will be added , all posted on the blog. A webinar and teleclass will also be set up. If you can’t make these, you can easily obtain a recording.

Investment:  $149, plus 3 hours per week to listen to podcasts, post on the private blog, and do your assignments.
