Class Outline
All course materials are available online and may be completed asynchronously. The course is divided into four sections, and each section is intended to take between 2 and 4 hours to complete. The intent is that one section is completed per week but learners are free to adjust their pace within the course dates to fit individual schedules. You will need to complete all sections and quizzes by the last day of class in order to successfully complete the course.
The first section is available when you begin the course. The section will end with a ten question quiz. Subsequent modules will become available after you achieve an adequate grade of eight points or higher on the quiz. You have completed the course after achieving a grade of 8/10 or higher on the fourth quiz.
