This schedule is based upon an "as-needed" concept of learning which allows
for flexibility and student input
for the course. Thus, the schedule will be developed
in sections or modules as the study progresses in order
to best meet the needs of the learners, the learning process and to allow
the professor to mentor the learners
in the most significant directions and ways of learning. This method
of learning is, therefore, learner or student-
centered, active, experiential, collaborative, interactive, creative
and critically reflective/contemplative,
and downright enjoyable. This schedule is organic and alive with possibilities.
Assignments will be found listed here.

monitor that your email is working (empty your trash file regularly)
