It will however, be an Algebra II-based regimen as opposed to a calculus-based AP program.   Consistent with Honors, a topic related research report will be done in order to fulfill technology requirements. Class Time: 2 hours - This is a two-semester course totaling 8 months or 64 hours of class time! Semester 1 runs 14 weeks, Semester 2 runs 18 weeks. Biography:  Gary Hanna is a State of Texas certified instructor in Composite Science and has been teaching for over 11 years, most recently in the Honors Department of Pascal High School in Fort Worth. He is a home-school parent for the past six years and since retiring from the Public Schools, is now devoting himself on meeting the educational needs of faith-based home-school students. In his classes, Mr. Hanna uses a blend of lectures, independent and group studies, homework, in-class assignments, exams, labs and research reports.
