About Online Classes
Studying online is similar to studying in a classroom. The real advantage lies in the possibility to study when it fits your own schedule, when it is more convenient to you.
Most of our online courses are asynchronous, that is to say students and professors don't have to be online at the same time schedule. However, you have to work hard to respect deadlines and take exams.
You’ll have a personal account to access your course. Any individual course includes lessons or topics, assignments, quizzes or tests. Our online platform provides you a way to send your work for grading to the professor.
There are forums to discuss about your lessons with your classmates and the professor.
The professor can post a question to debate, and students will add their ideas or
comments.
