Participation. A commitment to take part in the entire program (and not just certain topics) is required. The program is estimated to take 4-6 hours of time per week. One module topic will be covered each week. Each module will include activities such as short, prerecorded video lectures, applied assignments, quizzes, interactive chat with instructors, and live office hours. In addition, there will be weekly live interactive sessions for 75 minutes, once per week on Tuesdays from 6:00am-7:15am Pacific Standard Time (PST) during the program. Those who participate in all 8 modules will receive a Certificate of Completion.
