In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
No live meetings, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
There will be discussions of hazing & organizational violence. While all of these organizations have anti-hazing policies, the national culture of Greek life prompts the necessity of this conversation, especially for young learners who may be interested in pursuing membership or are simply seeking to gain more understanding. This course utilizes Kahoot and Google JamBoard for interactive review games and PearDeck/Google slides to create interactive presentations/lessons for students. Your student will need a personal Kahoot and Google account to experience the fullness of this course.
