New spring 2021 versions of the study schedule, detailed study manual, and video lesson handouts have been posted to the course. The new study schedule reflects the new spring 2021 layout, which is only slightly different than 2020. You can see specific details of how the new syllabus impacted the previous and new course layout inside the study schedule.
As noted in the previous blog post, the syllabus changes were fairly mild, especially compared to the changes that occurred on the new LFM syllabus last year. Therefore, the overwhelming majority of our course materials are ready to go now. The Revision History and Scheduled Updates spreadsheet posted in the Introduction section of the course shows you the current state of each file, and we also have print instructions in the Section A and Section B detailed study manual files, which are being updated to include new spring 2021 material. The vast majority of these files are available now, and Sections C–E are 100% complete.
We’ve also simplified the format of the video lesson handout PDFs so that it’s more like the LPM course layout. All handouts for each primary section (A, B, etc.) are now available in a single consolidated PDF handout instead of having separate PDFs for subsections A.1, A.2, etc.
Please keep an eye on the Revision History and Scheduled Updates spreadsheet since we will update it regularly to reflect the updates that we are rolling out. That spreadsheet also contains expected dates for future enhancements to other items in the course.
