Frequently Asked Questions

How are LLM’s lectures delivered?

During the pandemic, LLM’s lectures are offered virtually as Zoom webinars
The speaker presents the lecture for approximately an hour, then there is a ten-minute break followed by a Q&A segment
Traditionally, i.e. before COVID-19, LLM’s lectures have been held in person in local community spaces
The speaker presented the lecture for approximately an hour, then there was a 20-minute coffee and tea break followed by a Q&A segment

No, the lectures will not be recorded for this purpose
Although we cannot be together during the pandemic, LLM is trying to simulate our traditional in-person lectures as closely as possible, which includes everyone gathering at 10:00 AM on Tuesdays and *Thursdays, and having the opportunity to ask questions and contribute ideas during the Q&A segment

*Tuesdays and WEDNESDAYS during the spring of 2021
