Re: RARA-AVIS: My B&N Raymond Chandler Course

From: hlerne@po-box.mcgill.ca
Date: 02 Apr 2006


Cost is not what I am concerned about, so allow me to rephrase my question. Can one work through the material at one's own pace or is there a specific schedule that must be kept? I've printed out the lesson schedule from the B&N website but it seems unclear if a specific schedule has to be maintained. If there is I won't be able to keep up as my priority at present is completing my dissertation. This ambiguity, at least in my mind, was the motivation behind my original question regarding access to course materials without formally enrolling.

Thanks again!
