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?
