Get the skills you need to be successful in life outside of your parents’ home. In this course you’ll learn the basics to being a responsible adult from finding a job to paying bills to caring for your car (and much, much more).

How to get the most out of Adulting 101, Part One with Inshal Chenet And Jason Negri:

  • First, read the course materials below before the first class meeting.

  • Then have a notebook ready and available for class notes each live session.

  • Read assignments before class recordings.

  • Watch that class's recording.

  • Do the assignments, quizzes, and any extra work assigned for that week.

  • Once the course is completed to the parent's and professor’s satisfaction, there is a Certificate of Completion at the end to be filled in for your records.
