MiniMester Earn College Credits in 2 Weeks (https://mitchell.edu/minimesters/):
Thames Instructors’ Recommendations: Graphic Novels taught by Professor Bombaci
(Remote Learning) - Professor Bombaci has chosen very interesting novels and planned interactive lessons!
MiniMesters offer a unique opportunity to take a 2- to 4-credit college course in a compressed timeframe. These compact courses allow students to earn credits toward their degree, sharpen their professional skills or enjoy pursuing a passion. Historically, the MiniMesters have been extremely popular with students at Thames.
MiniMester Sessions (January and May) are open to Mitchell College students and the public. All students are encouraged to discuss their course choices with an Academic Advisor BEFORE registering online. These are Mitchell College courses.
Notes: Students are not permitted to take more than one class per MiniMester session due to the accelerated timeframe of these sessions.
