FILLING OUT COURSE DESCRIPTIONS A course description of your student's classes must be filled out by the parent and/or school staff, and is important in tracking your student's academic course of study. The course description is due before or at the beginning of the school year. Each course needs to be fully defined and identified. Following is a brief explanation of the different type of courses: formal, informal, college class, and group class. Formal courses - A standard publisher's textbook or curriculum is used. A definition of the course is understood based on the curriculum. Informal classes - These courses are designed by parents/teachers to be conducted in lieu of a standard publisher's textbook or curriculum, or as an alternative means for teaching a course. Examples of such classes include the following: dance, art, piano, work experience, and home economics. College classes - A course may be taken at either a local community college, vocational school or occupational center, or a university. These courses provide the student with credit toward high school course requirements and also count as college credits. Group classes - Group classes are settings where students are instructed with their peers in a group. Courses of this type are provided by organizations such as Biola's Star Program, and Sunland Christian School's HELP classes. Instructors become responsible for the course of study, lesson plans, and grading. Parents are still required to oversee the completion of students' homework.
