Yes. We need a new one each year. First, some small or large bit of your info may have changed since last year. You may not remember that something has changed.

Second, the E/L agreement is class name, location and time specific. Each year you will be attending a new class. Yearly class files are kept “in tact” in case we would have to go back and research something particular to that year for you.

Periodically, but not every week! A few over the course of the year. Some will be optional, some will not.

On time when they are asked for! You will lose points if they are late.

Must have learner’s name, phone, location, class name and date turned in.  For example: John Smith, 874-XXXX, Delta, Biology, September 8, 2017.

Learners are encouraged to attend every session for the full school year of 32 weeks.  Absences require excuse from parents, guardian etc.

Attendance will be taken at each class.

• Tuition payment for each the semester is due before first day of class, unless arrangements are made in advance
• Payments are nonrefundable!
• No refunds will be given if a “snow” “flood” or other major-impact weather event occurs
• Missed classes (for whatever reason) are not refundable

What about cost?

Our heart’s desire is for everyone who wants to take one of Dr. Dan’s science classes to be able to so every year they desire! So please understand that we will work with you to find a way for your student(s) to take classes.

You’ll enjoy many discounts opportunities!

• Referring others
• Early registration
• Multi-child registrations per year
• Helps: skilled and basic
• Assistance in key areas and more

At the same time, please realize that this is our primary income for our family.  Many Western Colorado families know that these classes are well worth the time and money. Many students successfully take the CLEP, AP, and other tests to save thousands of dollars!

Participating in Dr. Dan’s Science and applying his Learning Techniques may even help your child land a scholarship!

Click here to find out the cost if you plan to pay for the entire class with your own funds (self-fund).

Click here to find out your out of pocket cost if you are 1) in Mesa Valley Community School and 2) you intend to submit lab invoices for funding. (You can be enrolled in MVCS and still self-fund Dr. Dan’s Science if you want to.)

We have the same cost for both self-funded students and MVCS funded students. The reason for separate cost info pages is because MVCS will pay for the lab portion of the class but not the lecture portion, the MVCS cost page breaks that down. MVCS will only pay for the lab portion because Dr. Dan wants to be able to share the wonderful creations of our great Creator from a Biblical Worldview in his lectures.
We started teaching during Sept 2005. We have only adjusted our rates once since then. Currently, you’ll have the very best value this year! Dr. Dan Science offers more time, materials, hands-on, edited videos and opportunities to learn than in earlier years. Remember, rates have been the same since 2009!

We hope you’ll join us for exciting adventure into science! We thank the Lord that He provides such wonderful children and families each year.

Blessings to you and your family,
Dr. Dan – The Science Man

But relative to topic at hand!

Other family members, friends, etc may not be “dropped off” before or during the learner’s specified class time or otherwise “loiter” near the classroom area unless specific arrangements are made in advance

Yes! All classes offered include lab and/or demonstration time during part of each class

• The quiz is a “learning tool” to reinforce material and help instructor gauge overall learner understanding
• Quiz is on the “honor system”
• Each week’s quiz will usually be 20 questions, but that may vary
• Extra-credit questions may be available on some quizzes to improve grade
• One quiz grade score (the lowest raw score) of first semester will be dropped

The in class quiz grade is based on following scale

A+ 97-100 B+ 87-89 C+ 77-79 D+ 67-69

A 94-96 B 84-86 C 74-76 D 64-66

A- 90-93 B- 80-83 C- 70-73 D- 60-63

Generally, Dr. Dan Korow will round up when a learner is borderline for their cumulative quiz grade for the semester if they have performed well, shown improvement and

they usually have displayed a heart to learn.

Instructor will provide a certificate at the end of the school year verifying learner’s full name, name of class completed, duration of class, date issued, grade and total in-class hours spent on subject for those learners who successfully complete the requirements

Likely we will keep hard copy files with grades for 3-4 years. After that, they will be shredded.
