There will not usually be a video lesson on Fridays, if you’re following the traditional Monday-Friday format for this course.
Lessons 5, 10, 15 and so on will be a quiz or an essay on alternating weeks. I will be experimenting with different software for the quiz. Your feedback is not only encouraged, but fervently begged.
Your first quiz is here: http://quizlet.com/22335946/test/
This is a self-correcting quiz that you may take as many times as you wish. I strongly suggest you retry, and make use of the studying tools on the site, until you get 100% on this quiz. If you are taking the AP Exam or the Clep, you may want to use quizlet.com to memorize vocabulary terms. You’ll get an introduction to other online quiz formats on future Friday quizzes.
Next Friday there will be an essay assignment to post on your blog.
At the end of my course, please produce a final page on your blog for the entire course. Put a link to each of the essays. Here is a model: https://jadaalc.wordpress.com/economics/
This way, your parents can prove that you have done the work. This will persuade any local school officials who inquire. Students enrolled in the public schools have done nothing like this.
Note: if you supply final links for each course, college entrance committees will see what you can do. Few applicants will be able to match this.
