Welcome, students, to Mandate 101, the course where you'll learn to read, write, and live with the constant fear of being forced to read the most boring, most tedious, and most thrillingly mandatory texts.
Our esteemed instructor, Professor Mandate, will guide you through the most epic journey of mandatory reading you'll ever experience. You'll learn about the joys of being forced to read, the agony of being forced to read, and the ecstasy of having to read about the most thrilling topics, like the history of dental hygiene and the art of folding fitted sheets.
And, of course, don't forget to check out our sister course, Mandate Extracurricular: Extreme Reading Challenges, where you'll learn to read, write, and survive on a diet of nothing but 1000-page novels.
