Those familiar with me know me as an antiquities scholar mired in ancient literature from poets such as Ovid and Homer. I am also a huge Marvel nerd who loves video games. You can expect your learner to be led by a responsible mind that has trekked these trails before.
Be a hero. Students will be encouraged to explore and present questions about their favorite characters and story lines.
There is no assessment in the traditional sense. Students are here to grow.
55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
Marvel style action should be expected.
