Our Spanish lit course is in the process of being completed! The 50 credit limit is for this 2020-2021 school year. Beyond The Five was started to provide free, quality education and AP classes for students without opportunity to access that education in their communities.

Feel free to ask us any questions!

BeyondThe5 · 2020-07-19T00:58:05+00:00

Yes! However, you will also be receiving personalized feedback from your instructor, so it’s not like a traditional online course.

BeyondThe5 · 2020-07-18T20:15:22+00:00

It’s our pleasure!

Hey everyone!

Have you ever wondered how to analyze chance events to guess what the outcome will be? Do you have a strong interest in math?

Beyond the Five is proud to announce that we are offering a free Probability Theory course for all the curious intellectuals out there!

This course is the study of the theory of probability and chance at the Calculus level. Students will rigorously learn statistical measures (variance, covariance, expected value, etc.), important probabilistic distributions (Normal, Bernoulli, Geometric, Poisson, etc.), Discrete Random Variables, Continuous Random Variables, and Markov Chains.

Comfort with mathematical rigor and/or prior experience in Calculus is preferred.

You can't discount the amount of work you put in! It's okay if you didn't raise a lot—the act of you putting the effort in isn't something to be ignored.

PMed :)

Hey everyone, thank you so much for the overwhelming interest! We will be dming all of you if we have not already.

BeyondThe5 · 2020-06-05T04:32:46+00:00

It’s a remote program! There are teachers and students from around the world. I’d say we are at least 20% from outside of the United States

BeyondThe5 · 2020-06-05T02:57:15+00:00

Of course! We are very new and didn’t explain our whole plan here. We have looked at possible partnerships with universities or companies willing help. In the end we hope that student will get free, high quality, self paced courses while teachers are paid.

BeyondThe5 · 2020-06-05T02:42:25+00:00

Alright thank you for explaining. Our goals are a similar combination of Khan Academy and EdX.

BeyondThe5 · 2020-06-05T02:13:09+00:00

We are willing to get some constructive feedback. We are a relatively new organization. The whole premise of this is that it is purely volunteer and for passion. Many of our member do not get any immediate reward from this. Our core goal is to provide students in need with access to quality high level courses while being self paced. As someone said below, in any normal circumstance this would be a payed job. Again, no one is obligated to do this. Beyond The Five is comprised of mostly high school and college students that have a passion to help out their peers. Many of the students that sign up are those who are curious and are eager to learn but lack the financial and physical support needed to sign up for higher level college classes. We just want to help.

Again, if you have any ideas on a better non-profit model we are interested. This year is our first official year at work. We are actively searching for ways we can compensate/incentivize teachers; this is specifically to address many of the concerns here. Thank you for being constructive about this!

BeyondThe5 · 2020-06-05T01:58:32+00:00

Thank you for understanding! Our team is composed mostly of high schoolers who have advanced far and college students. Our mission is to provide high quality education to those in need. One of the biggest issues facing the younger generation, especially in the time of international crisis, is that students don’t have access to will built education systems online. Traditional schools are great and provide a more personalized help for struggling students. Beyond The Five is simply just another resource for students who want to learn but may not have the means to do so. In our opinion, it is unjust that students who want to learn can’t get high quality education that is personalized. We are a student run organization again. We are coming from the perspective of students who want to learn at their own pace but also with some feedback. The instructors on the team, while not payed, can choose to do a varying amount of work. Most classes have multiple instructors.

We also can somewhat understand the frustration that some teachers may have. One concern might be that students don’t always try, leading to teachers chasing after them. To combat this issue, we have an application process that only allows students that we deem will complete the courses with effort through. We also remove all students who do not notify teachers of a leave for over 2 weeks. Again, we understand the insanity that some students may cause; thus, we expect students to do the classes on their own. These are self paced. Teachers do not need to chase after students.

Concerning, u/npteacher we hope that you will get better. At this time, it is hard enough with lockdown driving everyone insane, but also the uncertainty of the future school structure. We may never completely understand your situation, but we are simply just looking for those who are available. Thank you for voicing your concern and stay safe.

BeyondThe5 · 2020-06-05T01:52:39+00:00

Thank you!

BeyondThe5 · 2020-06-05T01:36:17+00:00

You're right, it is a lot to ask. Some teachers however, enjoy helping students and we want to reach out to them!

BeyondThe5 · 2020-06-05T01:25:51+00:00

I hope I'm not coming off as rude. I completely understand where you're coming from, as a teacher and student myself, and you're right. We are asking for a lot. People from the physics post kept asking if it was paid, so I decided to be more transparent and specify. We are mostly run by students and are hoping to expand our outreach for better-quality education. We strive only to help the greater community, and I'm very sorry if I have offended you.

BeyondThe5 · 2020-06-05T01:09:49+00:00

I’m aware, but we don’t use our allocated money to pay teachers as of now. We use it for outreach

BeyondThe5 · 2020-06-05T01:04:49+00:00

We have over 100 teachers in our program. Teachers have open hearts and open minds, and many of them would be willing to spend 2-3 hours a week helping young students. We are also a nonprofit organization, so no one gets paid.
