Syllabus
This class will be a one-term class consisting of four lessons. Each lesson has a required "core" component worth 30 points and options for "extra credit" worth another 30 points. There will be a final exam worth 60 points, allowing for a total of 300 possible points. While the first lesson will be an introduction to the "Unforgivable Curses" in general, the remaining three lessons will each focus on one of the curses in greater depth: the goal with each of those lessons is to have you thinking "I never thought we could do that with this spell!"
Course Outline
Lesson 1: Introduction to the Unforgivable Curses
Lesson 2: The Imperius Curse
