Students in both versions meet in the same live class sessions, but students in Honors courses have about 30% more readings and assignments, including projects that are more challenging. Students are welcome to enroll in whichever version fits best for them and can switch within the first twenty-one days of the semester. Honors courses are not available in the self-paced format. - Freedom to participate in other programs and extracurriculars - Freedom to go deeper in other areas of interest - Time to process what you’re learning without being overwhelmed by assignments and readings - Opportunities for deeper readings, discussions, and analysis - Challenging assignments exploring themes, lessons, and characters in the liberal arts - Freedom to thoroughly explore the subject material ![self-paced online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Icons%20Badges/ico-bar-3.svg) ![self-paced online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/WHITE%20selfpaced.svg) #### Self-Paced Courses If your student works well independently or needs more flexibility to work around other activities, our self-paced courses are an ideal option and provide a richer, more personal experience than many other asynchronous online courses.

Some students prefer alternative math programs; others put in long hours practicing musical instruments, competing on an athletic team, or participating in internships. Students can earn credit for these and other activities by enrolling in an Independent Studies course, provided they fulfill the course requirements (see the above course links for full details). - Earn credit for things you are already doing and enjoy - Access to a mentor while working independently to complete education hours Why This Class When your student grows up, you want them to know—and do—the kind of work that makes them happy. If photography is something that already puts a smile on your student’s face, this course will inspire them to level-up their skills in both taking and editing pictures. Students in this course begin by learning the essential features of software for organizing and enhancing their photos. Mentors then guide students through a case study in which they strategize how to take top-notch pictures on a family vacation. Students also practice taking portraits of both people and animals (with an emphasis on respecting their subjects and practicing proper etiquette as photographers) and learn about tools for printing their finished work. Students who complete this course expand their repertoire of skills to identify and make the most of photo opportunities on a daily basis. They are more excited than ever to practice and use photography to express their view of the world. ![Featured Image](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/photo-b.jpeg) [![REGISTER NOW](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8517951/88ac3225-76e8-42c6-b779-0d65b82fa80e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/8517951/88ac3225-76e8-42c6-b779-0d65b82fa80e) **Course Details** Recommended Grade: 6th-8th Prerequisites: None Estimated Weekly Hours: 2 Format: Self-paced, with 1 monthly live session Credits: 0.5 Required Equipment: A digital camera (phone cameras are okay; point-and-shoot or DSLR is preferred) ### Reading List ![Group 166](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Group%20166.svg) Mentors provide the required learning materials for this course.
