Academic Structure

Each course consists of ten (10) weekly assignments. The weekly assignments will take approximately 2 hours per week to complete. Participants will need to complete the assignment within a one-week timeframe and then will go on to complete the next week’s assignment until the course is completed in ten weeks.

Each weekly assignment includes the following items:

  • Mini-lecture, which is a downloadable PDF.
  • Slide presentation, which is a downloadable PDF.
  • Reading assignment from a course reader that will be emailed to participants in advance of the start of the course. Each week will have 1 or 2 short articles assigned for reading.
  • Discussion questions and blog. Each week participants will be asked to prepare individual submissions to a blog addressing the weekly discussion questions.
