How are the online courses structured?
Each course is led by a trained moderator who provides support throughout the course and holds a weekly online chat. The course is divided into six weeklong units. Participants have flexibility within each week but are expected to begin and complete the activities during the assigned week. We do understand that personal circumstances arise, and the course was developed to be flexible for participants. You are not penalized if you turn assignments in late or early. For example, if you were going out of town and unable to complete assignments during the allotted time, you would only need to inform the moderator. A seventh week is scheduled to give you a chance to complete any assignments that you weren’t able to turn in during the first six weeks. Still, it is highly advised that you complete the course in order and in a timely manner.
