What's included
4 live meetings
4 in-class hoursAssessment
Assessments will happen at the end each class during our wrap-up section of the class. Students will be given a question to answer based on the days learning and report their answers to me. All students will be asked to complete the assessment, but it is not required. This will allow me to gauge how they are doing at the end of each class before the next week starts.Class Experience
