Approaching This Course
We'll be sending you emails approximately once or twice each week over the next 10-12 weeks presenting you with new content and sharing some of the great work your create here at PWYM. As mentioned before we see this project as more of a community rather than a traditional course, so feel free to make your way through the content at your own pace and in your own ways. The overall structure of the course can be found on our Curriculum page and is outlined here:
