What if I don’t understand a question in the course?
You can email your teacher at [email protected].
Do I have to meet in person?
No, however, some students benefit from connecting with their teacher(s) face-to-face.
How often should I contact my teacher?
Students are required to maintain regular communication with their teacher through Moodle Messenger, video conferencing, email, or face-to-face. You should email your teacher weekly to update them on your progress, and whenever you have questions.
What should I do if I’m having technical difficulties with the websites?
Try switching to a different browser like Google Chrome or Firefox. If the problem persists, email us at [email protected].
My course has unit tests. Are they considered exams?
No, unit tests are formative assessments designed to check your understanding. They can often be completed at home, but many students prefer to complete them during an open-house session to ask questions and receive immediate feedback. Midterm and final exams are held during supervised blocks of time.
How do I submit my work?
