McGeorge online courses are primarily asynchronous, which means you view them when you want to, at a time convenient for your schedule. You complete required activities by an assigned—typically weekly—deadline. Some assignments, such as weekly discussions, may have mid-week deadlines. Some papers or projects may be assigned over several weeks. To facilitate your planning, all deadlines are announced in the syllabus before the start of a course.
Because the courses are designed to provide regular and substantial interaction between faculty and students, you work on one weekly module at a time per course. You progress through the weekly modules with your classmates and engage with them about the material. All students are required to participate in each course on a weekly basis, though you participate on a schedule of your choosing.
