Well I have been told off many a time on this issue as apparently rocket
science is actually quite easy! Maybe Science: It's not quantum physics
(well sometimes it is) is more appropriate - sorry feeling flippantt
after a weighty day of trawling through forgotten e-mails!

How about:
'The Bluffer's Guide to XXXXXXX.
(After just 90 minutes, amaze people with your knowlege.)'
A little gentle humour might make your course seem less intimidating and
more empowering. To attract customers, this could be important.
An occasional touch of humour might also make it seem less intimidating
to contribute to PSCI-COM.

Give people facts and you feed their minds for an hour.
Awaken curiosity and they feed their own minds for a lifetime.
