This new course is different than anything taught before. One of our
instructors will meet with the students every week. This meeting will
take place in a webinar style.
This is not a certification course. There will be no homework or
additional material. If you like to participate in a
certification course, please check the "Courses"
tab.
Students will need to be at their computer at the
same time every week for an hour (exceptions
noted below). After the lecture we will be
available for another half hour to answer questions.
This course has to be taken as a whole. Please sign
up for the appropriate times.
Requirements:
To participate you need a computer, preferably with DSL or cable connection and a headset with microphone and a USB port is recommended.
You can also participate via telephone and use the built in microphone on your computer. As a third option you can participate via telephone.
