Classes are held virtually or in person once a week or once every other week (excluding national holidays). Computer access and attendance with ‘video on’ is required because the class requires extensive interaction, homework review, quizzes, and hands-on computer work. All slides, classwork, schedules, and attendance rosters are made available to the scholars through Zoom and this website. A copy of the lecture schedule is disseminated on the first day of class. Classes will start on September 10, 2025. Applications will open in January 2025.
