In this 8-week course, "Flying through Naval Aviation," students will embark on an exciting journey through the history of naval aviation, tracing its evolution from early flight to modern-day technological advances. We’ll explore key moments in naval history, the contributions of aviation pioneers, and iconic aircraft that have defined naval aviation. The course also highlights the importance of Pensacola, Florida, known as the cradle of naval aviation. Teaching Style: As this is a self-paced course, my teaching style will emphasize **flexibility** and **engagement**. Each week will include a mixture of **video lectures**, **reading assignments**, and **interactive virtual activities** that simulate historical scenarios or the experience of flying a naval aircraft. The content is designed to accommodate different learning styles, blending visuals, text, and hands-on learning. Interaction: Though the class is self-paced, students will have several ways to interact with me: - Discussion boards will provide a space for questions, insights, and reflections. - Personalized feedback weekly assessments will help students gauge their progress and reinforce key concepts. Students will complete brief assessments each week to ensure comprehension, and virtual-friendly activities will provide opportunities to apply what they’ve learned in a fun and engaging way.
