Having taken the course is there any advice you would give to those of us gearing up to take it? Things you wished you had done differently, preparation you wish you had done in advance?

If you are very comfortable with design tools on a computer, great, but if not you could try some out now, or figure out how you'll do without, like do drawings on paper & photograph them or scan them.

Great suggestion though, It will be good to get a head start on how to get the final design in.

- when working on a project, do you submit it gradually and make corrections based on feedback, or rather you do a whole thing that gets then evaluated?

Are there a lot of "homework" assignments given by Geoff over the length of the course like essays or papers- mini designs? I feel like a kid again, gearing up for class buying notebooks pencils and a book bag...

1. Each participant selects his own final design project site - people from our class did everything from roof gardens in India to converting a local park into a food forest. Because everyone is all over the world, people tend to work on their own project. However, there were cases where spouses or families worked on a project together and this is acceptable. However, if the spouse or other person wants a certificate, they must pay for the course. Otherwise, they are welcome to help out.
2. Originally we had about a month. However, for some people there were timing issues and so they were given extensions.
3. Submit the whole plan which gets evaluated. However, having said that, one of our classmates set up an awesome wordpress site where many of us submitted our designs for feedback from other students prior to submitting to Geoff. You can see it here: http://permaculturedesigns.org/ The designs are in the "forum" - you will have to create an account to participate in the forum: http://permaculturedesigns.org/forum/
