(Afternoon classes are structured so that you’ll have the opportunity to take classes from all the teachers. There will be three 75-minute periods. During each period, one teacher will be giving a class, and one will be holding "office hours" to give participants one-on-one instruction. The content of the afternoon sessions are at the discretion of the instructor. There will be a message board posting what the offerings will be each day.)
