asked questions
About
the instructor
Are these online courses?
Or do they meet in a classroom?
They are in-person classes that meet in classrooms in Seattle,
Washington. We may someday set up online classes, but we don't
have any currently.
Are your classes sponsored
by a school?
They are sponsored
by two schools: the Experimental
College (a
non-credit program of the Associated Students University of Washington,
established in 1968), and the Wonder School of
the Arts,
an independent school established in 1996.
Where are the classes
held?
Most of them are held on the University of Washington campus
in Seattle. (The class page --- the page you reach by clicking
on the course title --- tells what part of town the class is held
in.)
How do I learn the
exact class location?
The exact building (building and room number) and driving directions
will be sent by email when you sign up.
What's the connection
between the Experimental College and the University of Washington?
Experimental College classes are sponsored by the ASUW (Associated
Students University of Washington), the student government at
the U.W., and most Experimental College classes are held on the
Seattle branch of the U.W. campus (in the "University District"
in Seattle). However, the classes are not accredited. Students
signing up for Experimental College classes do not receive college
credit. Instructors are independent contractors, not U.W. employees.
Are the classes only
for U.W. students? Or can anyone sign up?
They're open to
everyone. You don't have to be a UW student to attend. In most
classes, most of the students are general public, not U.W. students.
What is the age range
of the students in the classes?
It varies every
quarter, but the ages tend to range from 18 years old to past
retirement age. Everyone 18 and older is free to sign up.
Can kids, or teenagers
under 18, take the classes?
They're adult-level classes, and most of the students are adults.
But some of them may be workable for younger students, with parental
approval. For students who are under 18, it's best to talk to
us on a case by case basis. To check on a specific class, call
206-420-1309 or email
Nilsosmar@gmail.com
Are the same classes
offered every quarter?
Most of them are. Occasionally we may drop or add some class titles.
To learn when a particular class may be offered again, call 206-420-1309
or drop us an email.
How can I make sure
that a class still has openings?
If the class still online, it still has openings.
How soon will I receive
a confirmation, after signing up?
You should receive
a confirming email within 24 hours of registering. If you
don't get a confirming email, please check your spam folder first.
if its not there, call 206-420-1309 or drop us an email.
Will I receive driving
directions?
Yes, they'll be
sent by email.
Do you offer private
instruction?
Private and small-group instruction is available in many of our
class topics, and some topics that aren't listed as classes. For
more information call 206-420-1309 or drop us an email.
Do you do corporate
workshops?
We have held corporate workshops now and then for departments
at Microsoft and other corporations, either for employee training
or as team building and morale building events. If you're business
is interested in sponsoring a class for your employees, please
call 206-420-1309 or drop us an email.
