This is a fun and inclusive hangout club for fans of the Star Wars galaxy. We will cover the timeline eras in Star Wars that will incorporate both Canon and Legends. We'll learn the history of each period and discuss the main stories with the eras. This class is good for those who are serious fans of Star Wars as well as for those who are curious and would like to know the history. Everyone is welcome. This is a discussion centered class and students are encouraged to share their knowledge of the Star Wars universe - stories from comic books, video games, books, movies, animated series, etc. Each student will have ample opportunity to contribute freely. I will facilitate and will ensure that everyone treats each other respectfully, with a kind listening ear, and that everyone has an opportunity to share their views. I will use various media (power point, video clips, etc.) and trivia quizzes during the course. The class is meant to be a fun social experience for children who like Star Wars to interact with others sharing their interests. As it is a highly interactive class, I require students to have their cameras on and be visible during class. This is an ongoing weekly class. Students may join and unsubscribe at any time.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a neuroscientist and educator. I enjoy teaching children about science - in particular, how science connects the world around us in ways we don't often think about. I try to encourage children to get excited about learning new concepts and to apply them in different situations. I teach classes on neuroscience, animal cognition, public health, and biology. I also enjoy hosting classes on Star Wars, and special topics of interest, mostly as requested by my own students!
I do animal research in the fields of neuroscience and psychiatry. I have 3 Master degrees - Clinical Psychology, Biopsychology, and Neuroscience. I completed my Masters (MS) and doctorate (Ph.D.) in Neuropharmacology from Texas Christian University and University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC). I then did two postdoctoral fellowships in Neuropsychopharmacology at Harvard Medical School. I was a university professor before joining a global pharmaceutical company.
My teaching philosophy is simple - I try to encourage children to be independent thinkers and to find connections in life about them. This will help them stay excited about learning and be life-long learners.Reviews
