How does the academic rigor of SITW compare with the rigor of on campus learning?
SITW is an intense semester. We have papers due, written exams, presentations, and other projects. Unlike on campus, we must reconcile our school-work with the duties that come from making living outdoors possible. Thus, everyone is usually just as challenged-if not more so-than they would be on campus. Thanks to our Internet connection and ever expanding library of books acquired on our route, we were able to conduct research on the road, take tests and function at a level equal to that at school.
