Class experience

By the end of this course, students will have learned about many types of mythologies including Greek, Hindu, Norse, Egyptian, Aztec, Celtic and other honorable mentions. Students will have gained deeper insights into these mythologies and cultures through the creatures that resemble our animals today, and be able to make connections between themselves and these cultures. 
I have spent 7 years studying various world mythologies via multiple facets; I have traveled all over the world, from Mexico's Chichén Itzá to the Greek Parthenon and many other places in between. I have taken university courses, sat in on lectures from historians and archaeologists, and researched both fact (scholarly articles / research papers) as well as modern day fiction built around the ideas found in myth and cultures from all corners of the globe. I continue to educate myself with modern research, literature and seminars whenever possible, all to further my interest in the stories I have studied from multiple cultures.
Handouts, worksheets and printouts will be provided when needed, though are not necessary to take this course. These help the students stay engaged during class or practice what was learned after class ends. 
For sources, I am sourcing information from 7 years of study, both in the classroom and through on-the-ground research in various countries. Below is a list of novels, textbooks and classes that I have compiled from my education as well as my passion of studying mythology, from which a lot of my information for this course is pulled:
