This page is for planning a course on how to contribute to and use data from WikiFCD.


=Schedule=

* JHSPH has 4 terms (7 weeks each; 39-40 instruction days) + 1 summer term (8 weeks) and 1 winter intersession term (2 weeks):
: Summer Term: Wednesday, July 1 - Wednesday, August 26 (39 class days)
: 1st Term: Monday, August 31 - Monday, October 26 (40 class days)
: 2nd Term: Tuesday, October 27 - Wednesday, December 23 (39 class days)

: 3rd Term: Monday,  January 25 - Friday, March 19 (39 class days)
: 4th Term: Monday,  March 29 - Friday, May 21 (40 class days)

* If we can teach in the 1st or 2nd term, that would be nice for the grant application to be submitted in November.
* It seems it's about 1 hour instruction time per credit. Students register 16 credits per semester (2 terms).
* Aim for meet once a week for 2 hours = 2 credits?
