FAQs
I haven't taken Documenting the Impact of the Humanities I: Introduction. Am I ready to take this advanced level course?
This course is about hands-on application of some of the concepts covered in the introductory course. You will be prepared to take this course if you have a basic understanding of what surveys, focus groups, and interviews are and how/when you might use them; what a chart is and how it can present quantitative data; and what writing about data looks like. Even if you don't feel skilled in these areas, you will gain experience by working with data during the course, so a basic understanding is all you need. However, if you feel that you don't have any experience with any of these topics, you may want to take the introductory course the next time it is offered.
Do you offer group rates or other discounts?
