What is a "TeleInquiry"?
A TeleInquiry is a conference call, like a chat line.  You and between 10-15 other registrants call a regular phone number at a given class time.  When you call, you will be welcomed by the TeleInquiry Leader.   The TeleInquiry begins promptly at 2 minutes after the listed start time.  A TeleInquiry is similar to a grad school discussion -- some lecture, some questions, some discussion. If this if your first time taking a TeleInquiry, you may wonder if and how it works.  It just does.  It's highly interactive and the 'flow' works well. You can listen and absorb and/or engage in the discussion.  You can always ask questions of the TeleInquiry Leader.   Most TeleInquiry sessions last an hour and meet weekly for 4 weeks, sometimes longer.

Note: The cost to call one of our bridges is a standard long distance charge. There are no conferencing fees, so you would just pay your long distance carrier whatever your rates are. Most carriers charge $3-6 an hour for long distance, so the cost is minimal.
