Teaching Approach
This is a skill-based class. Lectures are released once weekly. Each week there will be a lecture describing the signs that we are covering for the week, in which there will be both written descriptions and video examples. Short skill lectures will also be included each week, which contain step by step instructions that are written out followed by video examples. Most videos are short but some may be up to a couple minutes. The videos do not require the ability to hear them in order to understand what’s going on. For each skill lecture, the suggested homework is listed on the bottom of the lecture. This class will work best for students who enjoy reading text lectures and watching videos that demonstrate the steps detailed in the written portion of the lecture. The steps for teaching each skill are broken down and laid out in a structured way.
This class will have a Teacher's Assistant (TA) available in the Facebook study group to help the bronze and silver students! Directions for joining that Facebook group will be in the classroom after you register.
