Is there anything I need to know about Avalon College?
We recommend taking the classes in the order they are presented rather than skipping around because the information in earlier lessons must be understood in order to understand the information presented in the later lessons. In each lesson you will see buttons that you should press to get additional information. You should select each one of these buttons so that you do not miss important information. Many lessons have questions so you can test yourself to make sure that you have mastered the material. It is a good idea to take some time to formulate your answer before displaying the correct answer. If you do well on these quizzes, you should also do well on the tests that are given periodically. These quizzes and tests will help you gauge your progress, and they let you know if you are ready to proceed with the next lessons. The quizzes and tests also help you perfect your mastery of the material.
The Avalon College curriculum is modeled after college course curriculums. One semester consists of 16 weeks of instruction, and each week consists of 2 classes that are 1 1/2 hours in length each. (Note: in the current version of Kepler we have available 14 1/2 weeks of instruction; we still have a few more classes to prepare before one full 3-credit class is completed). You may work at your own pace, but we have organized the material in this manner so that you know that if you keep to the schedule provided then you are progressing at the rate of a typical college course. We recommend that you carefully study each lesson before proceeding to the next one, and make sure that you take the quizzes and do well on them before going on to the next lesson. If you rush through the lessons too quickly, you will not have mastered the material that is needed to fully comprehend later lessons. If you are a self-learner and can motivate yourself, this program should work very nicely for you. If you find that you need to talk to an instructor to help you, please see below.
If you find that you prefer to have a real live teacher rather than a cold computer to learn from (although we hope that you find Kepler to be at least a little bit warm and friendly!), then there are astrology teachers who can provide tutoring. These astrology teachers typically are not directly affiliated with Cosmic Patterns or the Kepler program. They have studied the Avalon College material carefully so that they can work with students in the program. The fee for tutoring from one of these astrology teachers is typically $20 to $25 per hour (U.S. dollars) but can vary with each instructor. Currently, these astrology teachers are available for assisting you with your work in Avalon College:
