[QUOTE="zedturtle, post: 7352060, member: 6830534"] I'd like to know a lot more about the prospective students and expected classroom structure... is this a class for credit? If so, for what? Or is this a class for keeping the kids busy over the summer? Or is it a class that only those kids who are interested in RPGs will sign up for? What are the expectations? For example, if it was something that was an elective selection (meaning only kids who want to be there are there) then I could see a goal of "By the end of the two week course, students will have a fundamental understanding of the Fifth Edition rules. They will learn by a combination of academic review, classroom participation and small group activities." For such a group, you'll want to ask who has played before, who has watched Critical Role before, and who signed up for on a whim. You'll almost want to have three weeks of material, just in case everyone has played before. But if there will be folks who are not interested in the material, or only interested in it in the sense that it checks a box on a graduation form somewhere then you're going to want to structure things much more so that low-engagement students will not frustrate or cause discipline problems for more highly engaged kids.
