The Masterclass Curriculum

Four weekly masterclass sessions — built by Dr. Rao and Jeremy Gregg, and reviewed and approved by Dr. Rao — guide every Path to Nobel student author from choosing a pioneer to a published, peer-reviewed chapter. Each week pairs a live session with deeper craft modules, plus a shared workbook of templates and a scoring rubric your mentor uses throughout.

Week 1 — Choose the Right Pioneer and Question

Turn general ambition into a personally meaningful, researchable chapter project.

Week 2 — Research, Approach, and Interview

Build trustworthy evidence, understand the breakthrough, and seek original insight professionally.

Week 3 — Write the Chapter as a Human Story

Convert research into an accurate, accessible narrative with a clear through-line and your own voice.

Week 4 — Revise, Peer Review, and Publish

Build a repeatable revision process and prepare to contribute responsibly to the shared anthology.

Toolkit — Workbook Templates & Rubric

The ten ready-to-use templates and the 100-point rubric that support every week of the masterclass.
