Details about this class
This is a conversation-based class! You'll have a REAL-TIME audio conversation every week for 1 hour at the same time with your small group. The timing will be based on your availability, and you'll need to be available at the same time each week.
We won't meet all together as a class at the same time (no large-group zoom meetings with the instructor, only small group meetings). I need you to complete a scheduling poll the first day of class, or you won't be able to continue in the course.
