LEC (3 credit hours) ………LINK TO LIST OF WEEKLY MODULES
*The course material is branched based on your area like KINE, SERC, EPSY, ADED or other programs so the first part of many weekly modules, everyone will read and watch the same base content (like a tree trunk). Then during that same weekly module, the content branches out (like branches on a tree) based on the general field-based interests that meet students in programs in SERC, KINE, ADED, EPSY, and other programs. That way, the material is customized somewhat to attend to different interests in separate programs.
