Homework
Frequency: includedFeedback: includedDetails: Students are encouraged to begin creating a "character" by selecting a "species" and "class" after the course, beginning to put the ideas from the session into practice. This may generate questions which they can ask the instructor as a follow up to the lesson.
Students will need paper and pencil to take brief notes, and to write down things they think are amazing!
