  • It makes sense to take the CORE program before the ADVANCED; and to take the ADVANCED program before the MASTERCLASS, right?
  • Similarly, the topics and lessons in the CORE PROGRAM are arranged in a particular sequence. Each lesson builds on the study skills covered in the previous lesson.
  • You will be associating newly acquired learning with previously acquired learning. So, stick to the order. It makes sense, right? Of course, it does! Baby steps before a giant leap for mankind. Oops, humanity!
  • As soon as you have created your personal study timetable, use it to plug in bookings for all the lessons in this program.
  • I have setup a drip schedule so that there’s a week between lessons being released to you. The quiz and the check-in are released together.
  • This allows you spread out the lessons across your timetable and time to practise your new skills.
  • We journey together. From the valley to the foothills to the peaks.
  • We talk to each other in the forum. We share our successes and our Q&As in our private discussion space. Like-minded learners sharing our curiosity for learning.
  • Our mantra is “There is no failure, only feedback!”
  • There are 10 videos between 4-6 minutes in length.
  • We move quite quickly through the material. This is not a problem. I suggest that you watch a video from beginning to the end to get a ‘feel’ for the material. Then, you can pause, rewind, and replay as much as you need.
  • Make notes. You will learn to map them very quickly in the lesson on HOW TO MAP.
  • Practise you new study skill. You have 7 days before the interactive session is released.
  • There are 10 interactive sessions. One per topic.
  • The main purpose of an interactive session is to reinforce your understanding, skills and ability acquired in the topic’s video lesson.
  • You will be challenged to discover information and engage in the learning by playing with scenarios; making choices; dragging and dropping; and the like.
  • You may choose to revisit your maps on the topic or review the video lesson to clarify or remind yourself of key information.
  • Feel free to have your maps open as you attempt the tasks. You’re the boss!
  • There are 10 quizzes. One per topic. The quiz arrives 7 days after the interactive session.
  • You will need to achieve 80% to pass and move to the next topic.
  • Retake the quiz if you need.
  • There are 10 check-ins. One per topic. Each check-in is released with the quiz.
  • Complete the quiz before the check-in.
  • You will be invited to upload samples of your application of study skills covered in that topic; submit a very brief reports; complete surveys; fill-in a template; and the like.
