Class Information

This chapter contains the standard information of this class pertaining to scheduling and class contents. The General Information should be sufficient to create a proper class topic for scheduling on the Eve University forum. Additional information relevant to the teacher is listed under Notes for the Teacher.

General Information

This class gives an in-depth look at wormhole living, logistics, and lucrativeness. This is a much more advanced topic than other wormhole classes. EVE uni members are not permitted to setup a POS in wormhole space, nor does ROE allow proper w-space defense.

• Duration: Approx. 2 hours [and an additional xxx minutes/hours for the optional practical exercise]
• Location: Docked up safely in a station [in Aldrat]

Class contents:

• Quick Wormhole Overview
• Living in w-space
• Making Money
• Q&A

Student requirements:

• Mumble registration and access - make sure you have Mumble sorted out and operational well before the class begins. Use this guide for set-up: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Mumble
• Access to the Class.E-UNI in-game chat channel

Additional information: This class is primarily lecture delivered in the Class.E-UNI channel in Mumble, followed by Q&A.

Notes for the Teacher

Required materials:

• Class.E-UNI chat channel, to receive questions and post relevant links
• This class (for now) is mostly just a lecture, there is no practical.

Introduction

Welcome to Wormholes 201.

This course is designed primarily for players looking to get more in-depth knowledge about wormholes and considering living in one.

(Instructor should then introduce himself or herself - covering relevant experience level and background.)

We have a few ground rules for this class:

• Please put your Mumble settings on "Push to Talk" if you have not already done so.
• Feel free to type any questions in the Class.E-UNI chat channel as we proceed - I will try to answer your questions as they come during the class. [At the end of my lecture, we'll open Mumble for any further questions or general discussion.]
• You should be docked up safely in a station

Everyone ready? OK, then - let's begin....
