Additional Resources
Welcome How this Class Works
The bulk of the course will be taught during the livestream. The resources are there so that you can easily absorb everything during the class, and have a basic foundation from the get go so I can spend more time giving you specific examples and answering questions. Studies show that breaking up your learning over time increases retention and understanding, so ideally you should go through the resources a day or two in advance of the livestream. This will also give you an opportunity to shoot me an email or ask a question in the discussion section that I can address during the livestream.
