ENRICHMENT MINI-COURSES 2011

“Program Description

The Enrichment Mini-Courses Program is offered every year during the first week of May. During that time, participating post-secondary institutions offer approximately 125 mini-courses, drawing nearly 3000 students from grades 8 to 11 in Ontario, and secondary levels II to V in Quebec.

Mini-courses are offered in a variety of disciplines, such as information technology, psychology, engineering, journalism, music and law. They are highly interactive; they combine brief presentations, practical exercises, laboratory exercises, group discussions and field expeditions; and they provide an unforgettable learning experience!

Each 25-hour mini-course runs five hours a day, Monday through Friday. Courses start at 9 A.M. and end at 3 P.M., with one hour for lunch. There are no exams or formal evaluations. At the end of the program, host institutions confer a certificate that attests student participation in the mini-courses.”
