The course aims at a middle ground but can be undertaken
by people with little or no knowledge of the subject matter.
There are many topics to cover so each topic is an overview.
Some articles have links and pointers to other material.
Some of the terminology may be unfamiliar
but will be explained as the course progresses.
You will be sent short articles to read each week.
To get the most out of the course you must read the material
and take the time to think about the implications.
You will have questions.
This is good. Your feedback is essential.
Some questions may be answered later as we progress.
Some may take us into too much detail and can be taken off line.
Some you can investigate for yourself and find your own answers.
The course will have succeeded if you are motivated to undertake your
own research because you should not accept anything without investigation.
