Sleep Deprivation: Habits, Solutions, and Strategies Teach-Out

• When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

  Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:

  • The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.

  • The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

• Do I need any prior knowledge of sleep science to participate in this Teach-Out?

  This Teach-Out is designed for everyone. Whether you have little previous exposure or have already studied sleep deprivation, this Teach-Out is designed to help you learn new strategies that can improve health and well-being.

• What is a Teach-Out?

  Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community.

• Why is the University of Michigan creating Teach-Outs?

  The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems, events, and phenomena most important to society. Teach-Outs are just-in-time community learning events that encourage participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community and faculty experts.

• I see there are quizzes -- do I have to pass a quiz to complete a Teach-Out?

  We're offering these Teach-Outs on a platform designed for learning, so sometimes we take advantage of the platform tools. Quizzes are one way of helping everyone "get on the same page" about the topic, and be better able to discuss and ask questions. You can take the quizzes as many times as you want in order to pass the quiz. Or, you can move past them if you aren't interested in testing your knowledge.

• Does a Teach-Out have a fee?

  Teach-Outs are free learning experiences!

• Can I get a completion certificate?

  No, this isn't a course, therefore we don't offer a Course Certificate.

• How do I find out about other Teach-Outs?

  Check out other Teach-Outs on Teach-Out.org.

• Will more Teach-Outs be made available to the public in the future?

  Yes! Our faculty are actively working to develop new Teach-Outs.
