Questions about this course

Do I need any background to take this course?

No. The survey is written for serious readers of Scripture with no formal training.

What happens during the free week?

You join the cohort that's taking the course right now, in whatever week it's in, for seven days: that week's lessons and assignments, the discussion, and the other students. If you enroll, you start at week one with the next cohort, so nothing you see is skipped.

What happens when the free week ends?

Your access simply ends. There is no card on file, so there is nothing to cancel and nothing to charge. If you want to continue, you enroll in the next cohort.

How much time does it take each week?

Plan on about 4 to 5 hours a week for eight weeks. Most students fit it around full-time work.

Will someone call me?

No. We don't collect phone numbers. Everything happens by email.
