Each student will have the option to complete a class discussion each week but, this is only optional.  A weekly review will be available to students; it is optional if the students would like to complete the review privately or would rather submit the answer to me for review.  A case study will need to be completed by each student and upload to our classroom during our last week of class...this is a fun educational way for students to engage flexibly with others. 

This course is designed as a high school course; a PowerPoint presentation will be used video/audio clips will also be applied based on the topic each week - Video instructional material will also be available for students. 

Since, this is a flex course students will not be meeting live; this is perfect for the independent learner who is self-motivated to complete their activities.
