Online work can be done anytime (24/7), but there are deadlines and, in my classes, these are weekly deadlines. Time-management skills, independent learning, and self-discipline are essential.
Each online class is unique to the instructor and subject area. My classes include
many tools for learning psychology whatever your learning style. The courses maintain
the quality and comprehensiveness of a face-to-face class, but use different methods
to do so. On-campus lecture is replaced with a digital textbook, presentations, animations,
interactive exercises, videos, discussions, and online testing. Weekly assignments
include quizzes (both timed and untimed), discussion posting, and interactive exercises.
Optional, extra-credit assignments can be used make up missed work.
