The Challenge Factory discussion

3-month
Partner challenge
Runs April - June 2023

Welcome to the School for Good & Evil. The first thing that must be done is that every student must decide if they are inherently good or evil. You can only study one or the other here at this school. One partner must study good and the other must study evil.

Once you have decided which line of study that you will follow, you can find your classes here. To prepare for your 3 tests, you will want to complete as many tasks as you can. Only the most prepared heroes & villains will pass their finals. Oh, and you will be competing against your partner in the finals. Good luck and may the best side win!

*Please note that the 3 tests will run over 3 different weekends. Each test will require one book (minimum 100 pages) that must be read in a 2-day period. You will get one day to study and prepare for your test. Books cannot be started until the test begins. The winner will be determined by whoever wins 2 of the 3 tests. The winning partner will get 100 bonus points. The books for your regular classes will be done at your pace and only be scored if you complete them.
