Course Schedule
Instructor Say
Let’s review the logistics for the class before we move on.
Breaks
Not scheduled. We take breaks as they fit into class. If we’re on a roll, we won’t stop for a break. However, we understand that the amount your brain can take in is directly related to the amount of time you’re sitting. For that reason, we do take breaks and we have lots of exercises that let you move around.
Refreshments
Help yourself.
Lunch
You have one hour for lunch.
Restrooms
You’re grownups, you don’t need to ask permission to use the restroom.
Phone
