- 02:59
Now how about the courses themselves First of all you
- 03:03
won't ever have to worry that we don't have you
- 03:05
covered no matter what subject shmoop offers full courses in
- 03:08
a wide variety of content areas including math yell a
- 03:11
life skills writing pbs and oh so much more Once
- 03:16
you've selected the course you're interested in him up will
- 03:18
help you tailor it to your specific needs and desires
- 03:21
One attack the course to the common core done wanna
- 03:25
program the course has set off in actual fireworks display
- 03:28
any time one of your students aces a quiz Well
- 03:31
we're working on that one as soon as the technologies
- 03:33
here will be all over it like bees on honey
- 03:35
promise so you probably want to know what you're getting
- 03:38
into What do these courses consist of Well good question
- 03:41
everyone of our courses is relevant engaging challenging and totally
- 03:45
comprehensive with a focus on technology based learning In addition
- 03:49
to a virtual textbook consisting of in depth readings and
- 03:52
lessons you'll find activities and assignments complete with grating rubrics
- 03:57
and unit and final exams for full semester courses as
- 04:01
well as informative and entertaining videos that lend assistance to
- 04:04
your more visual learners You know videos like this one
- 04:07
you're watching right now my charming voice or not all
- 04:10
right there's also the opportunity for credit recovery so that
- 04:13
if a student fails of course they won't necessarily be
- 04:16
totally dead in the water Instead you'll be able to
- 04:18
really man and give him another chance by tossing them
- 04:21
back into the ocean metaphorically of course it we can't
- 04:25
in good conscience recommend ever throwing any of your students
- 04:27
overboard Muchas you might like to we know you don't
- 04:30
want your students falling behind or having to repeat an
- 04:32
entire semester so credit recovery is a big thing for
- 04:35
us Our courses are adaptive so that if a student
- 04:38
tests out of a unit i'ii score seventy percent or
- 04:40
higher they can move on to the next level As
- 04:43
faras credit recovery options go ours are by far the
- 04:46
most affordable you confined were more up to date with
- 04:48
common core and we place more of an emphasis on
- 04:51
critical thinking in project base assignments that don't let students
- 04:55
brains go on any early vacations And of course as
- 04:58
with all shmoop projects were hipper were funnier and dogon
- 05:02
people like us really you like us You think norman
- 05:05
once you set up your classroom and have your gradebook
