Itching to study a topic that McGill just doesn’t offer?
Interested in autonomous, student-led education?
Then it’s time to CREATE YOUR OWN INDYCLASS!
You’re invited to attend a workshop on Sunday, April 19, 2009 to learn how a group of students can create and teach their own course at McGill – and get credit for it.
These independent,t student-run classes, or “IndyClasses,” were first started up in Fall 2008 and have proven to be an exciting way for students to gather and share knowledge. We want to pass this opportunity on to you in time for you to start organizing for the Fall semester.
