The purpose of this course is to quickly familiarize yourself with the content in the CGBLL course. There is a lot of material in the online course. Please read work through the material and answer the knowledge checks in preparation to class discussion. The online portion of the course will be supplemented with two group sessions a month where we will listen to guest speakers, participate in class discussions, review knowledge checks and engage in some hands-on learning.
