I love teaching on Outschool and giving students a deeper understanding of how our system works.

Students will take a quiz and do one writing assignment per week. This writing assignment should take no less than 1 hour of time. Students will be given an example to refer to for each assignment. Quizzes will be short and will give the students a deeper grasp of the current learning objectives.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:Kahoot!

No live meetings, and maybe some time outside of class.
