1-2 hours per week. Each lesson in this Minecraft class will include a specific assignment designed to reinforce the concepts covered. At the end of each lesson, students will receive clear goals and tasks to complete in-game, such as gathering resources, building structures, or defeating monsters. Once the assignment is submitted, the teacher will review the work and provide personalized feedback, offering tips and suggestions for improvement. This feedback will help students refine their skills and strategies, ensuring they can successfully apply what they've learned in future lessons. The process is aimed at fostering continuous improvement and helping students build confidence in their Minecraft abilities.Certificate of Completion

Parental Guidance
In this Minecraft class, the content is designed to be engaging and educational, but it's important to be aware of certain aspects that might be unsettling for some learners:
1. Monster Encounters: Minecraft includes various in-game monsters such as Creepers, Zombies, and Skeletons. These creatures can be startling or frightening to some learners. However, these elements are integral to the survival and combat aspects of the game.
2. Exploring Dangerous Dimensions: Students will explore dimensions like the Nether and the End, which contain hostile mobs and hazardous environments. These areas are intended for advanced players and might be intense for younger or more sensitive learners.
3. Safety Precautions: Learners should be encouraged to take precautions when navigating these areas and engaging in combat to avoid frustration or fear.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Erick. I have a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Furman University. I'm an online teacher, a martial arts instructor with black belts in Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a business owner, and most recently, an aspiring author. I live at the beach in Florida with my wife (also an Outschool teacher!), our science-loving son, and our cuddly cat.
I believe learning should be fun and engaging and my teaching style definitely reflects that! My goal as a teacher is to inspire, empower, and entertain students while teaching things I'm passionate about - business, finance, martial arts, fitness, and video games. In my classes, be prepared for lots of laughter and silliness in addition to learning.
I hope to see you in the classroom!
