    • Both students and professors represent a diverse group coming from both under-developed and developed countries.
    • The basic text(s) used for teaching the course will be provided as downloadable, printable PDF files.

    THE COURSE MATERIAL CONSISTS OF:

    1. Course text (PDF). The basic text(s) used for teaching the course will be provided as downloadable, printable PDF files. Supplementary reading texts will also be recommended, which students can get on their own. In the future, we plan to have an exclusive library of PDF books for our students to use as supplementary reading.
    2. Recorded supplementary session conducted by the faculty members for each of the modules.

    STUDY PATH OF EACH COURSE

    1. Each course consists of 20-30 recorded sessions. Video and audio recordings are available for the students.
    2. The student first listens to the audio or video recording and reads the text that corresponds to Module 1.
    3. Having thoroughly studied Module 1, the student then takes the Module 1 test. The test consists of multiple choice questions.
