@theluthier thanks – your clarification does sound more familiar!
I’m conflicted about this course. On the one hand I do intend to watch the live streams and maybe hang out in the thread and offer help or encouragement and that sort of thing. But actually doing the exercises, and submitting material to be graded alongside the submissions by very new beginners (presumably) the course is mostly intended for? I’m not so sure, it seems unfair to me, like a kind of sandbagging. One of the class rules is “no flexing” and I kind of feel like that would be flexing, of a sort.
