Questions From People Considering Enrollment
-
I am not on facebook. What will I miss if I don't connect with the facebook group?
If you are not a facebook user you won't miss any content. All course content is presented through pre-recorded videos, audios, and written materials.
-
What if my work schedule is too busy for me to participate in the course during some of the weeks?
The course is totally self paced. Some of the material is best understood over time, and sitting with the ideas is not something to be rushed. Some people might prefer to take the class at a slower pace and only open up the course lessons every two weeks rather than weekly. This is totally fine.
