How it works week to week
- Watch on your own schedule
- Every lesson is a short video covering one idea. There are no fixed class times to miss around school, exams, or a family trip.
- Answer a few questions at the end
- Each module closes with a short set of questions. They take a minute, and they are the point at which understanding gets checked rather than assumed.
- Your mentor sees your progress
- Those answers go to your Path to Nobel mentor, so guidance is based on where you actually are — not on a check-in call where everyone says they are fine.
- Meet live every Friday
- The videos are the self-paced half. The other half is a live session every Friday at 8:00 PM Eastern: weeks one to four with Dr. Rao and the whole cohort, then weeks five to eight with your assigned mentor in a group of about five.
- You finish with a real chapter
- The weeks are built in order — choose, research, write, revise — so by the end you are holding a chapter ready for peer review and publication, not a folder of notes.
Full session plans, assignments, and the workbook tools open up in your private cohort portal once you enroll.
