You sign up for a course, work through the assignments at your pace, send them to the instructor for comments.  Then do the next one.

Most of the courses are stand alone topics.  You engage with an idea based on where you are in your journey.

The advantage of taking a course this way is that you can set your own pace.  A big advantage.

The disadvantage is that you lack the input from classmates.  A big disadvantage.

You can have the best of both worlds if you select a partner or take the class as part of a group.

Regardless, these classes are designed to reward you with transformation, roughly equivalent to the effort you invest.
