Open Access Class on Epictetus' Discourses


I'm very happy to be able to report that enrollment is currently open for a 4-week, online course in which I'll be leading students through all four books of a classic Stoic text, Epictetus' discourses.  The course is being hosted in the Moodle eSchool of the Global Center for Advanced Studies, and offered for free as a service to the general educational public.

I'll be holding the first video-conferencing course sessions next Saturday.  Students who enroll in the class will be able to access the course lessons, handouts, and videos I've produced - and will be continuing to produce - for the course.  They'll also engage in discussion forums with their classmates, and of course, weekly video-conferences with me, the instructor.

The class does not bear any credit, and is being offered for personal development and enrichment, so there are no homework assignments or examinations - though, time permitting, I will create some quizzes and study questions.  The goal is simply to permit interested students the opportunity to study with a professor deeply interested in this particular thinker, his work, and his ideas.

If you're interested in enrolling in the Epictetus' Discourses course, you can click here to be taken to the GCAS Moodle eSchool page for the course.
