How is your class structured?
I will present new material, ask questions, and present a project for completion during each class.
How will you teach?
The students will be asked to verify their comprehension with oral and occasional written review.
What's your teaching style?
As I present the material, I will interact with the students to judge their comprehension.
How much will learners get to interact with you and each other (mention specifics like: lecture, games, slides, video clips, discussion)?
 Students will initiate conversations with the teacher as she presents the slides to clarify their understanding of the topic. We will discuss the topic for that day.
Any required experience or knowledge learners need?
No prior knowledge required.
