eg for ppl starting or changing careers a course like this one can be interesting

Re: GS study cohort
I have taken several courses. a couple I am actually doing all the assignments and tests. Others I am auditing, and going through materials and lectures as I can. good stuff.
The challenge is that the number of participants is large so the discussions are just like a bazaar…many posts, limited if any interaction. so a smaller cohort of people with some shared interest who can discuss it on GS can be great.
I saw one topic that would have been phenomenal for us but that course hs no current sessions…less of a career topic unless there are ppl in constitutional law, diplomacy and activism etc for whom it is a career thing.
