I am not big on homework, but I do ask students to interact with each other and to share their experiences,” she said. “I ask that they ask questions and participate in ‘in-class’ activities. We often have a small project at the end of the class. The class is fun and painless.”

Fee for this course is $279 for the general public ($299 after March 30) and $269 for San Diego Ad Club members. For information, call (619) 594-0787, visit www.neverstoplearning.net/interactive, or email cjbrown@mail.sdsu.edu
