Are there any course corrections?
The Reading & Assignment for 4.3 was inadvertently duplicated to 5.3. Here’s what to adjust:
The current 5.4 reading and assignment should be used for 5.3
5.4 should be: Assignment: Read “The Poem of Pentaur (i.e. Battle of Kadesh)” and “Great Hymn to Aten, stanza 1.” How does Ramses praise himself for the outcome of the Battle of Kadesh? How does Akhnaten describe Aten? The Poem of Pentaur, Great Hymn to Aten

How do I calculate for high school credit?
HSLDA recommends spending approximately 150 hours on a subject to qualify for high school credit. This is how Dave Raymond’s classes generally break down to achieve that credit. Some students will spend more time in some areas and some will spend less, but there is clearly enough different types of work to qualify for full high school credit:

* The reader includes over 220 pages of original historical materials. It increases in length as the year progresses. For example, Lessons in the first semester comprise approximately 90 pages while those in the second comprise approximately 130 pages. If additional reading is desired for older students, we include recommendations for that.
**If a parent desires to do two or more thesis papers for older students, that is perfectly acceptable and will only increase the amount of time spent in the class.

What should my student’s portfolio look like?
Here is an example of the portfolio to give some ideas.
