Dear all,
This coming fall, I will be offering another online beginners' course based on my textbook, The Cambridge Introduction to Sanskrit. Details on format etc below.
When I wrote to the list to announce the course that started last October, several of you who were using the book for your classes said they wished I had started the course earlier so that they could have tied it in with their introductory classes.
Hence my question: is anyone who will be using the Cambridge Introduction to Sanskrit for their teaching in the fall interested in having further online support (both from me as the teacher of the course and from my course participants, whom I encourage to not just ask me, but also discuss questions among themselves online)? I am flexible as far as the next course start date is concerned, and also in how much work I ask of participants every week.
If so, please get in touch with me and I'm sure we can figure something out that is beneficial for all sides.
All the best,
Antonia
ONLINE COURSE : BASIC DETAILS
- the course is for complete beginners
- it is free
- every week, an email is sent around containing the work assigned for the coming week, combined with tips on how to approach the material as well as links to the custom-made youtube video for each chapter, flash cards, and any other available online resources
- there is no one centralised lesson, but students can ask their questions by posting them to our Facebook group
- the course that is currently running is asking participants to spend around 3h per week on Sanskrit; we started out with 500+ participants and, 23 weeks in, are down to around 200
