Course Syllabus

This is an open-ended, self-paced course. The recommendation is to work through one module each week, but you may do more or less as your schedule allows. You should work through the lessons in order, however, as ideas and concepts are built upon throughout the course in a fairly linear fashion. The syllabus in pdf form is listed below:
