Homework Offered
Homework, designed to take no more than 10 minutes per day, will be assigned in the form of handouts distributed before each of the five meetings and students will be asked to study it as part of their preparation (each hand out will be uploaded 24 hours in advance). Optionally, at the end of the camp the students may be assigned an (optional) multiple-choice quiz, in order to test their memory, attention and observation. This test may also include a couple of questions requiring a very short answer, in order to assess the learners' comprehension.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I do not believe that a letter grade is meaningful for a camp on Alexander III.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
