Janikk Educational System Course Catalog
Updated and maintained regularly, the Janikk Educational System Course Catalog provides an accurate collection of free classes available planet wide for any member of the Mordena.
Course of Study
There are no degrees, with each student able to custom tailor their classes based upon their interests and intentions for future contributions to the mercenary organization. Most pathways culminate in one or several apprenticeships before the student is set loose upon their selected portion of the universe. Mordena are free to change their mind and their path at any point in the educational process and beyond. Many will also continue taking classes to refresh or expand their knowledge, pursue personal interests, or just pass the time.Curriculum and Instruction
Courses are divided into four categories: Academic Foundations, Technology, Service and Vocations, and Combat and Strategy. Each boasts an assortment of studies available to both civilian and active duty personnel alike, with options in both the classroom and the field. Personalized one-on-one options, and even apprenticeships, are also available. While many of the instructors have completed their own studies through the catalog, this is by no means a requirement. Those with useful knowledge and an interest in sharing their expertise with others are encouraged to apply. Upon completion of hands-on training in recognizing and catering to students' teaching styles, instructor hopefuls will present their desired fields of instruction for evaluation by their peers. Once approved, they are granted the opportunity to develop their own personalized classes and curriculum in their areas of expertise. Instructors are given full control over their classrooms and catalog entries, including teaching format, class size, curriculum, grading, prerequisites, and scheduling, providing all options are finalized prior to their submission to the catalog.Accessibility
Classes are free, and while they are often scattered across Janikk, depending upon the student and their interests, the thorough planetary portal network allows for easy travel. The Course Catalog is publicly available, searchable at Education Offices across Janikk but also readily accessible on the planetary network.Janikk Educational System Course Catalog
