Organisation of Content:
This course is organised into four main sections with multiple assignments (i.e. classes) within them. The four sections are:
Introduction & Basics (6 classes)
Modern Interpretive Frameworks (3 classes)
A Brief Chronological Sampler (9 classes)
Modern Revival Examples (4 classes)
So, if you completed an assignment every two weeks, the entire course would take just under a year to complete.
Course Delivery Method:
This course is self-paced and delivered on line using Google Classroom. You will need a Google G-Mail userid (i.e. xyz@GMail.com) to access the course content.
There is no charge to take the course.
Two optional on-line sessions are scheduled each month (the 1st and 3rd Monday evenings) for students to share their thoughts about the course material with the teacher(s) and other students. A 7:00PM section is provided for the convenience of students in Europe and an 11:00PM section is provided for the convenience of students in North America. Students may attend the section of their choice.
