What's included

1 live meeting
50 mins in-class hours per week
Homework
1 hour per week. Most classes will contain an OPTIONAL homework assignment that learners may complete if they wish to. They may also submit the homework to me in order to receive marks. Please note that since this class is ongoing, I ONLY provide marks for individual homework assignments and not an overall grade for the course.
Progress Report
In addition to weekly homework assignments, written progress reports are available upon request. Student must have been in class for a minimum of 8 weeks, and must display adequate levels of participation in class in order to receive a progress report (passive listening is welcome in class and students are not forced to actively engage, but it is very difficult to analyze a student's comprehension/knowledge/etc. in these cases. Whether or not sufficient observations have been collected on a student to create a progress report will be analyzed on a case by case basis).
