A practical is a class that enhances the learning experience of the student. Practicals are learning moments outside of the theory classes offered. They can be a concentrated topic, such as “liver health” or “thyroid health”, or they can be a class that helps you build community connections. They can also be farm tours or an education moment on making natural health products.
Some practicals are mandatory.
