I always teach the class, even if there is only one learner enrolled, so please do not worry about the cancellation of my classes if you should receive an automated email from Outschool stating that the class might be canceled if enrolment is too low.

I will upload the worksheets, videos, and anything else applicable to that country on the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the week respectively, i.e. the materials for the first country in the list for each week will be uploaded on the Monday of that week, the materials for the second country in the list for each week will be uploaded on the Tuesday of that week, the materials for the third country in the list for each week will be uploaded on the Wednesday of that week, the materials for the fourth country in the list for each week will be uploaded on the Thursday of that week, and the materials for the fifth country in the list for each week will be uploaded on the Friday of that week.

Prior knowledge is not required for this course. 

Each "Part" i.e. Part 1 (100 countries) and Part 2 (95 countries) can be taken individually, and/or in any order.

When applicable, I will screen-share slides from Google Slides in my videos, and I will share media from YouTube via our classroom. 

Learners will upload their completed tasks to the classroom, or privately in a message to the teacher if they prefer.
Feedback for the week will be provided on the weekend of every week, and earlier if learners upload their completed tasks daily.
