Each class is 4 hours of instruction divided into 2 evenings for 2 hours each evening. Part 1 of each class is on a Thursday and Part 2 is on the following Tuesday. This unique Thursday-Tuesday schedule offers students time in between each class to take on a "VMG Challenge Assignment" related to the material covered in Part 1 of the class.

AGREEMENTS

In order to participate in the free class, you must agree to (1) participate in completing (to your best ability) a VMG Challenge Assignment and (2) providing feedback on the course in a 10-question online survey that should take maybe 10 minutes of your time at most. The VMG Challenge Assignment is related to the course work you will be taught in class. The assignment might take an hour of your time at most. As an example, after students participated in the Volunteer Project Management class Part 1, they chose to either scope out a project or create a gantt chart relating to a project they are currently working on. During part 2 of the class the challenge assignment is disucssed for the first 30 minutes of class. These are fun and challenging ways to engage students.
