Class formats

I teach five different formats of classes. The formats are constrained by each location’s available classroom hours and facilities.

Discussion and demonstration – Question and answer, with some answers requiring some demonstration (2 hours).
Demonstration plus tasting – I demonstrate some kind of baking, and students get samples of what is made (2 hours).
Limited hands-on – I demonstrate some kind of baking, and students start making something but take it home to bake (2 1/2 hours).
Hands-on – I demonstrate some kind of baking, and students bake their own in class (4 hours).
Day long – Only my oven-building class is day long; oven-building is hands-on; the baking portion is demonstation plus tasting.

Most co-op classes are demonstration plus tasting classes.

Starting in the fall of 2011, there may be some limited hands-on classes at some of the co-ops.

Classes and Possible Formats

No other format for these classes is possible for various reasons.

Advice for the Loaf-Lorn is the only Discussion and Demonstration class.

The following classes are Demo + Tasting only.

These classes require too much in the way of additional equipment to be able to execute a class for multiple students.

Build and Bake in a Portable Brick Oven is the only Day long class.

These are classes with modest equipment requirements that can be taught in multiple formats, depending on facilities and available time.

Here’s a consolidated list, just for comparison.
