That said, I do want you to know these are real courses, not simple lectures or webinars. I encourage active learning and interaction with fellow students. There will be brief in-class assignments and actual quizzes. And I teach at a college level because these are college-level concepts.
No need to worry, though. My job is to see you succeed. If you haven’t taken a college course before but are willing to put in the work and reach out if you need help, I’m certain you’ll rock this (and fun doing it, too)!
