    Hi Sandra,
    Welcome to my blog...and thanks for your comment! I think your point is a good one...try a few weeks first and then see if you want to continue....I'm going to use that for my course!

    I agree with Marsha too! It all depends on what you want to include in the course. If I speak for myself I would love to try out something like this for about 8 weeks and do another 8 weeks if I'm satisfied.
    By the way, I just found your blog thanks to Danielle on Scrappers Anonymous. Haven't had the chance yet to read your blog some more...gonna do it now!

    Hey, that's a good idea! To turn it into a two-part course!!! May sound stupid, but I hadn't thought of that at all...how clever! Then people can decide for themselves if they feel like round 2.

    What Marsha says makes a lot of sense, 16 weeks if you need 16 weeks, and if people think that's too long, turn it into a two part course. ^_^
    Good luck on the course and on the move. When are you going?

    I haven't responded to the poll because a. I only discovered your blog a few weeks ago and I am kind of lurking... and b. I agree with danielle... it all depends on what you plan to teach us. I mean: you know what you want to teach and if that takes 16 weeks... then 16 weeks it is! That said... if you feel it needs to be 16 weeks, but most people think 8 weeks is enough, you could consider to turn it into a two part course? Personally I don't have any problems with a 16 week course, but it does make me think it's going to be a very expensive course if it's 16 weeks long :-s...

    I would say 8-10 weeks for a course, it is long enough to gain something from it, but not to long that it becomes a burden with the rest of lifes commitments. I hope you will let me know as and when you are considering starting your course as I would be interested in finding out more about it.

    Kind regards Helen

    I would go for 10 weeks. 16 seems a rather long time. But I love to do a course.

    I think it depends on what you`re going to do. With 16 weeks you can play with seasons and it was the longest option ,heehee.
    And count me in, love the idea as i told you before
