<p>Yes, section 005. We am wondering if personal transportation is needed and how much, if any, time is spent outside the scheduled class time and the tutoring session time.</p>
<p>mine did a class like this, maybe not the same exact one, though.</p>
<p>did not require a lot of time except the weekly trip to the school. your student would probably be able to arrange to ride with another student.</p>
<p>My son did the READ program (last spring) offered thru Honors College. The only difference in the READ program and the UH 105 is that honors college credit is earned thru UH 105. While my son did not earn credit, he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He went to a local elementary school 1 day a week for 1-2 hours and “tutored” children in reading. He had 2 students each visit. He was touched by their eagerness to learn and their appreciation of his time. He was also humbled by the experience. I know he would definitely recommend the class/program.</p>
