Are online courses self-paced?
No, most are not. Depending on the instructor, you will have assignments that require you to communicate with other students just as you would in a face-to-face course. Most online courses require you to adhere to due dates for assignments, quizzes, tests, etc. If you register for an online course, expect to finish the course on the instructor’s timeline, not yours.
No! Online students must adhere to course timelines, due dates and may be expected to engage in chat rooms or discussion postings. Online courses must follow the same academic calendar as traditional on campus courses. Go to the academic calendar to learn more. [top] What is the difference between BbCE and WWW courses? Blackboard (formerly WebCT), Inc. is the world’s leading provider of e-Learning solutions for higher education. It provides a secure environment for students and a standard means of creating courses for instructors. A login and password are required before you can access Blackboard courses. You must be registered for a Blackboard course before you can access the syllabus. WWW-based courses are not in a secure environment and do not require a login and password. The syllabus can be obtained before enrolling in the course.
Again, it depends on the course. You may have assignments which require you to communicate with other students just as you would in a face-to-face course, and to stick to due dates for assignments, quizzes, tests, etc. Other courses can be completed at your own speed. Be sure to read the details of the course and timelines before registering.
(Back to Top) No, the online courses are not self-paced. Each online MBA course begins on the same day that on campus courses begin and ends on the same day that on campus courses end. Students will have a course schedule with assignments due throughout the term on specified dates. However, students do have flexibility each week in deciding when they access the online material; there is no class session that meets at a set time.
