What is the course content?
NOTE: This is pre-recorded version of Mastering Pre-Algebra to Algebra class taken
                         by over  3000 students. Fresh, extended content.

There will be a total  of  10 uploaded videos averaging a length of approximately   17 minutes each. Every video is a different lesson. There is a description for each video  in the syllabus.                       
Each recorded video comes with two assignments and a self test.
The solutions for the assignments and the self test are included, along with instructions on how to grade the self test.

                                       
                                   How is the class structured?

Each video is a new lesson, after viewing the lesson the student should attempt do the first assignment,check the answers and if additional practice is needed ,review the recording additional times.

Then do the second assignment which is preparation for the self test.
When feeling ready the self test should be taken and graded. 

A grade of 70% is considered passing. 

If the student is not satisfied with the grade further study is recommended ( re-watch the recording, re-do assignments and retest until a satisfactory grade is achieved)

                                    How is the class taught?

This class is taught just like I teach my live classes.

 I will show students how to do an exercise on the white board.

 They will learn  by actually doing example exercises during class. 

Students can stop the recording at any time and test themselves. 

I repeat several exercises and  explain in detail.

 Learners can check their answers as the solutions are provided.

I encourage all participants to try as many exercises as possible. 

Each class has an upload of a self test along with the solutions. 

There are also instructions on how to grade the self tests.

                           How much will learners get to interact with you?

 Since this is a recorded lecture, not a live class.
 Teacher student interaction will be available for 30 minutes once a week for the 10 weeks of    the course. These 30 minutes are considered teacher's office hours.
Communication can be done via the Outschool messaging system.

 Note: The office hours are not mandatory to attend, most students learn from the recordings. 
            Students who have taken my live classes, and had to watch the recordings because                                they missed a live class,have reported learning from the recordings.

                           What is your teaching style?

     I show several examples with plenty of detail and explanation.
     Then I ask the student to try some exercises, in order to get exposure.
     I check answers for accuracy, correct mistakes , if any, and ask
     to try again until the student feels comfortable, and then we continue.

       My philosophy of teaching is described accurately by Gervais Sirois
        
                  "The act of teaching is global and intuitive and resembles the artist's gestures...,
                   It calls upon all of  the resources of the person, his attitudes, personal cognitive 
                    style,background experiences,skills, knowledge and techniques. Teachers only     
                     rarely formulate their pedagogical thinking: they act....the style of the     
                     teacher,similar to the style of the artist, is anchored in a powerful innovative
                     structure. Because the structure is not defined does not mean it does not exist"
