Do classes meet?Classes don't meet in the traditional sense. You will participate online for parts of the class - except for Office Hours (live sessions with your instructor!) - on your own time. Each "class" continues for the entire month. How do I communicate with the instructor and my classmates?Via LIVE chat sessions with your instructor and your classmates in the Chat Room, which we call Office Hours. During Office Hours the instructor will make a brief presentation, discuss assignments, and then you and your fellow students can ask questions, discuss the assignments or lectures, and anything else that pertains to the class. You'll also be communicating with your instructor and
classmates in the interactive Forums where you can post about
the lectures, assignments, ask questions, make comments, anything! And your
instructor will be checking in on the forum regularly to answer your
questions and add their own two cents when necessary. How do I get feedback from my instructor? Will this be an interactive class?Yes. Your instructor gives you a deadline for posting your work in the Homework Forum. Students and instructor read your work and post comments under your name on the forum. You can go to the forum as often as you like to read instructor and class discussions, post your own comments, or get class updates. In turn, you also will read your fellow students' work and post comments under their name on the forum. We encourage you to read the instructor's comments on all of your classmates' work, since that will help you develop a critical eye. Reading and commenting on each other's work is one of the most critical keys to success in our eClasses. If I miss an instructor's Office Hours, is there a way to find out what I missed?Yes! You can read a transcript of all Chat Room discussions by viewing the Chat Room log. It's already into the month I wish to take the class, can I still take it?
