What are Sections?

We offer some courses at different times and/or days to accommodate different schedules. Each offering is a section and covers all the course materials. You are free to attend the lectures from each section that fit your schedule. All lectures are recorded for you to review as well. During registration, we ask you to choose the section that you will attend most often as this helps us prepare for each section.

You only need to attend or watch the recording of each numbered lecture. Section 1, Lecture 1 covers the same material as Section 2, Lecture 1, etc.

Here's a sample with a course that has two (2) sections and eight (8) lectures. Lecture times for this example are:

Section 1 - M/W 1-3 pm ET
Section 2 - T/Th 8-10 pm ET

This participant prefers to attend Section 2.
