In this class we will take a look a the lives and impact of each of the U.S. Presidents, discussing everything from - -George Washington's love of dogs and letter writing, becoming an international military rock star at the age of 22, to why he felt unprepared for the role of president and why he made the decisions that he did. -What was Herbert Hoovers life like before becoming president? What role did he play in the Boxer Rebellion? Why did he decide to name what we call the Great Depression a "depression" instead of a panic, as it had always been named before? - What was JFK's childhood like? How did he turn an insult into a popular college club that everyone wanted to join? How did he use the television to defeat Nixon? What happened that day in Dallas? This is a discussion based course. I do lecture (through shared powerpoint) during the 45 minute class, but I encourage open discussion and questions throughout. I love the chat box and encourage students to utilize that for participation. This is a subscription class, which means each week is an independent class. You pay for each week that you would like to join. You can pay for each week that you choose to attend class. There is no start or end date, so feel free to come and go as your schedule dictates. 2025 Dates Week of: January 6 Theodore Roosevelt January 13 William Howard Taft January 20 Woodrow Wilson January 27 Warren G.
