What's included

2 live meetings
3 hrs 50 mins in-class hours per week
Homework
1-2 hours per week. The assigned homework will be to read chapters on clothing, from the books I've assigned them to read. I will have the learners, sketch their own design for their project. The homework for the learners, will only be to read assigned chapters, and they are short chapters, so I would say about 1 to 2 hours per week. They will be expected to read as many pages as there are in the chapter.
Assessment
The learners progress will be assessed by a written report on fashion, that I will assign as well as on notes, they've taken during the class discussion from the chapters, they've read from the assigned books. And, I will have them present their fashion sketches as a grade.

The class will be structured in a classroom setting.

I will teach by discussions on Fashion as well as show videos of fashion styles, from different centuries.

My teaching style is standard, just like in a classroom setting, that students are familiar with.

The learners will interact with me, at every class setting.  Discussions on fashion will be taught, as well as show video clips of clothing, from long ago as well as present day.

Everyone knows the importance of wearing clothing is to protect the body.  And everyone wears clothing, but the learners also need to know that; the styles of clothing they are wearing today, is just like the styles that were worn many years ago.  Every 10 to 20 years, the same styles repeat themselves.
Learning Goals
The students will learn about clothing from the early Egyptian Period, up until present day.
