VISION CLASS SYLLABUS

Welcome to Vision Class!!! Vision Class is an intensive web-based


course, headed by fellow life-student Shira J., designed to show its
students how to find their life's great purpose through actualizing
smaller dreams.

Below you will find a list of class materials, assignments, and a full
syllabus. Keep in mind, your schedule may be busy, therefore, take the
time to format this class to your personal needs. However you choose
to format this course is up to you, but it is important to ADHERE TO
YOUR PLAN.

If nothing else, try to participate by watching the prerecorded lectures


on YouTube. You may also tune in to our midterm and final discussions
at the six-week and 12-week marks on Ustream. And, if you have a
Facebook or Google+ account, you may comment as frequently or
infrequently as you like. You get out what you put into class, so be
encouraged, take plenty of notes, tune into lectures/discussions, and
comment, comment, comment!

*NOTE: Vision Class dates are not available as yet, because class will
be prerecorded and edited. Class debuts on
www.YouTube.com/VisionClass, every Friday at 7:30pm EST, and will
continue airing at the same time each week, for a total of 13 weeks.
Students may participate at their own pace (e.g., at a pace of six or 12
months instead of 12 weeks), but those who keep with the pace of
class will experience the quickest transformation. Students are
encouraged to comment on their journey no matter the pace at which
they take class. Stay tuned to Vision Class' Facebook, Google +, and
YouTube pages for the class premiere date.

VISION CLASS PURPOSE STATEMENT:

lead us to our INDIVIDUAL LIFE'S PURPOSE, which ultimately is
intertwined with others' life purposes. Through testimony and unity,
we continue to strengthen our own individual journeys, and thus, God's
collective purpose for all of humankind."
