Do

options?
TarotCollege.com can, with your materials, create classes that range from
beginners to the most advanced. Through our system you can keep track of each
students progress and finally create permanent records. We can help your course
be useful year in and year out.
TarotCollege.com can help you make your course come alive. Your materials,
writings, and teachings will be presented online and able to handle 1 student or
1000 students from around the world.
If you have a course or currently developing one, contact
windy@tarotcollege.com with the following:
• Your name and a Short Bio
• Why you want to teach the course at TarotCollege
• Course Name, Description, Syllabus, and a sample lesson
In developing your course, please bear these guidelines in mind:
• The syllabus will be posted for each course and should include a short
general description of the course, what you expect the student to get out of the
course, the outline of the course, and your address if you wish students to
contact you with questions. There is an excellent Internet article on syllabi.
• All quotations must be properly cited. Public Domain material may be used
but must be in quotation marks and properly identified as to name of author and
title of work. Copyrighted material may be quoted sparingly with a full footnote
(end note at the end of the lesson). If you are unsure about how to do this, I
recommend MLA guidelines or a standard research paper reference such as Kate L.
Turabian - she has written several manuals for college papers, theses and
dissertations - or Strunk and White The Elements of Style. A search on the net
for “academic citation” will also be fruitful.
• All courses will be edited by members of the Tarot College and corrections
made in spelling, grammar, punctuation and syntax, if needed. Any suggested
changes of a substantive nature will be sent to you for review and will not be
put up on the site without your approval. If there are any unusual spellings you
wish to retain, please mention that in a cover letter.
I do appreciate your willingness to put such a huge amount of volunteer effort
into TarotCollege and its future.

TarotCollege Study Guide Requirements
A Study Guide is a series of observations and questions designed to be used with
a specific book. The student is expected to purchase (or borrow) the book and
read it along with the study guide, one chapter at a time.
The purpose of a study guide is to act rather as a mentor, providing background
material, information from other sources that agree or disagree with the
viewpoint presented by the book’s author and questions to stimulate the
student to think about what s/he has read. The whole of the study guide, when
used in conjunction with the book, should give a deeper understanding of the
material. The study guide must provide some answers that the book leaves open.
Included could be the addition of exercises, glossary of words, correspondence
charts, or any number of useful items.
Study Guide Criteria:
Each chapter needs to have at least one page of analysis. Material for each
chapter should focus on the material the author covers in that chapter. No more
than 600 words may be used in the study guide directly quoted from the book.
Each quote must be identified and sourced. All materials not the study guide
writer’s original words, must be properly sourced. A paraphrase which replaces
several words, while retaining the basic sense and structure of the original is
not acceptable.
Anything that helps a person read and understand the material without infringing
on the book, publisher and author’s copyright fulfills the purpose of the
study guide.
The study guide can be part of a larger study set, meaning it could work in
conjunction with other books and study guides. This allows key ideas that are in
several books to be explored.
At the end of the Study Guide you will need 30 multiple choice questions
pertaining to the study guide and book. You can add additional tests if you
desire, but each must be at least 30 questions.
