I'd like to do this - it looks great, and I'm impressed with the fact that I actually recognise some of the names!
 
I see that it starts on October 8th - my question is, are the actual day-to-day courses themselves on a set schedule? I'd have to do this in the evenings when not at work.

I signed up Ron, my impression is that you get an assignment to be completed at your convenience. I think one per week is what I read. It's online so it has to be that way. (I think and hope)

Well, I started. It's a little more involved than thought. It will be fun, a whole lot to learn here. Some really cool stuff and a whole lot of "why it does what it does"!

Goodness!
Time will clearly be an issue on this one - 5 pages full in my workbook and I haven't started lecture 2 yet Shocked
I am loving how much of the philosophy ties in with the contemporary art theory that I was required to do as part of my BAA in 2011. Right down to the Tate Modern catalogue design. I think this will have beneficial spin-offs for my creative work as well.

So far so good, I am just a half day behind in my studio now...Ermm Looks like baked beans on toast for the boys tonight... "oh no Mum's studying again".

I guess you (I) have to have the textbook. I don't know some of the terms or how to calculate some of the homework assignment. I'll have to wait till this weekend to order. :(
At least it lets you save what you have answered without finishing.
