Course/Participation Requirements
Each week you’ll have a course module to complete. You should expect to spend a minimum of 4-7 hours per week on course assignments. Participants are not required to logon at any set time but must meet weekly deadlines to maintain pace with the course. Each module consists of:
- readings from a PDF study guide (or selection of PDF articles)
