How to get the most out of Pro-life Boot Camp with Trent Horn:

The "Pro-life Bootcamp" equips pro-life advocates to better explain and defend their position on abortion. In order to get the most out of this class, I recommend taking notes during the lecture in order to become familiar with the topic and then reading the assigned chapters that are mentioned at the end of each lecture. By already being familiar with the material, the reading will be easier and have more of an impact on your absorption of the course's overall themes.

  • First, read the course materials below,

  • Then have a notebook ready for class notes.

  • Read the assigned chapter for that class.

  • Watch that class's recording.

  • Do the assignments, quizzes, and any extra work assigned for that class.

  • Once the course is completed to the parent's satisfaction, there is a Certificate of Completion at the end to be filled in for your records.
