Wilson Hill " Online Classes - Sit in on a class, Tues-Wed-Thurs (xpost)


Recommended Posts

If anyone is interested in online classes w/ a Christian worldview, Wilson Hill is having an "Open Campus" next Tues-Wed-Thurs where you can sit in on an actual class--live, real time, not recorded.   (I wish all online providers would do something like this.)  

 

I think you can register here.  The schedule of classes that you can observe is posted and will be sent to you after you register.

 

Looks like some of the options are..... 

 

- Great Conversations 1, 2, 3, 1+4, 5, 6  (Bruce Etter, Bart Martin, Tom Vierra)

 

- Logic 1 & 2 & Rhetoric I

 

- Latin 2 & AP Latin (w/ Joanna Hensley!)

 

- Pre-Algebra, Alg. 1, Alg 2  (Reini)

 

- Honors Comp

 

- Spanish 3 & 4 (Pliego)

 

- Physics

Thanks for letting us know. After registering would we also get the recordings of the classes?

 

You don't get recordings; you get a schedule of which classes meet when on Tues, Wed, Thurs. Then, when a class you're interested in is meeting (on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday of next week,) you log in as a guest (via the link on the schedule they send you,) and sit in on the actual class as it is going on.  It's just like if you visited a class in a brick and mortar school... You'd sit in the back and observe quietly, without interacting, since it is a regular class session.

 

I think it's better than a recording because a recording can be carefully selected before being made available. Here, the instructors know there may be visitors sitting in, but it's still more "real" than a pre-selected recording. Downside for PST zone folks is that we might have to get up awfully early for some of them. :)

 

ETA: There are a lot of classes. I can't imagine that they could/would make recordings of all those classes available.

Anyone else not hear anything at all after submitting information on the registration link?

 

Nothing here, no emails, even checked our WHA account. I did get an email from Laura Ruby asking for the student's written permission or something, but when I clicked on it, nothing much happened. I would like to sit in on Honors Composition and Algebra 2. It's not essential, but they offered. I kind of already have an idea of next year's providers, but if it's just fantastic, then I could be swayed over.

I got in on the Spanish 3 class today. Wow, does she talk fast. She was very encouraging to the kids & today's class was really small. Am going to try to have DD sit in on Spanish 4 tomorrow. I have to say that although the grammar & vocab are all what she's doing in Span 3, having a native speaker makes things a lot more challenging for the student!

You can email the teachers and ask for a book list for TGC. I wish it were on the website.

 

 

Yes. I like how WTMA has the course syllabus as well as a general description accessible on the website. Very helpful in trying to get an idea of how the class works, specifics of what is taught etc.
