Lodging and Transportation
Students in the course will be responsible for their own transportation and lodging. Although a limited number of double rooms have been reserved at a local hotel whose contact information will be provided after the class meets, students who are confident that they will complete this class should reserve accommodations as soon as possible. Although most hotels require a valid credit card to make such reservations, reservations can usually be cancelled within days of the "stay" with no penalty. The instructor will facilitate organizing carpooling among interested students.
