Indeed -- can someone speak to this? I'm married with a full time engineering job. There's no way I could get 10 weeks for this, despite how much I really, really, really want to. This seems tailored toward the unemployed, students, or simply those with ridiculously flexible work arrangements that I can't even fathom.
I favor the post above about making materials available. Heck.. maybe you should video record all the lectures as well.
I definitely see the benefits of "full immersion" -- it's just that at a certain point in life, I can't see ever being able to "fully immerse" myself again. I finally have the awareness and desire for things like this... but it's at a time when I can't participate. When I could have participated, I don't think I would have fully appreciated what a fantastic opportunity something like this would have been.
Does that make sense?
Makes sense to me -- I'm in quite a similar position.
