Minicourses at Madison Library
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the minicourses be recorded?
Generally, no. Most professors do not permit us to record their courses. These courses are their intellectual property.
What if I miss a class?
You may be able to review slides or material from the missed class
since some professors send us their slides or other course materials to post on our website. Those can be viewed at any time, until 30 days after the completion of the course. However, as we do not record the minicourses, you cannot make up the live presentation.
Can I get a refund if I can no longer take the class?
If you inform us before the first class of the Minicourse, we will issue you a refund.
What happens if the Minicourse is canceled?
If we have to cancel a minicourse due to low enrollment, we will inform each student before the course begins. Students will have the option to choose another minicourse or receive a refund.
Will there be more Minicourses on Zoom?
All minicourses are currently being held in person; however, we will consider future minicourses on Zoom if there is sufficient student and professor interest.
How do I access the class on Zoom?
We will send an email with the link to join the Zoom meeting at 3 pm the day before the class. Be sure to check your junk mail and spam folder if you think you have not received it.
Will my spouse have to pay if we both want to attend one online class?
If you are in the same house and will be viewing the class together on one device, then you pay for only one registration.
