How is this class conducted:
Each week, the instructor will post three assignments: a full video lesson, a practice assignment, and a receptive video. The assignments can all be done at the convenience of your schedule though I do encourage students to do them weekly so they do not get behind. I will post all three assignments on a Monday. You can decide the schedule on when to complete them.
