EMS3O is a year course beginning in October. 

We meet twice a week for 25 weeks, with all Jewish and civil holidays off.

Although we'd like you to start in October, you can join the course up until the end of November. 

There are homework assignments that drop in Google Classroom as well as short presentations where you analyse how traditional media have covered events in Israeli and Palestinian history.

Beginning in 2026–2027, every Ontario course must include a written final evaluation completed during the designated exam period. Ours is Culminating Day, and it is built entirely around a topic you choose.

Nothing to cram. Nothing you haven't seen. Your topic, defended twice — once out loud, once on paper.

Culminating Day takes place in June, during the designated exam period.

The clip above comes from a May 2023 Al-Jazeera news broadcast covering a "provocative" visit by an Israeli cabinet minister to the Temple Mount/Haram al Sharif in Jerusalem.

What kind of biases can you identify in the coverage? Does this item inform, misinform, disinform or malinform?  In this course, we’ll address these questions and so many more about how we consume and process what we see and read.
