Frequently Asked Questions: Additional
Is my online course an instructor led course?
No. They are self-paced courses. Your instructor will be
available via email to respond to any queries you may have.
Will I be able to see my online instructor or communicate with
him/her via telephone?
Unless there are extenuating circumstances, all communications
with your instructor will be done through email and the
announcement board. The instructor at his option may from
time-to-time schedule a webinar. Please do not expect your
instructor to telephone you or meet with you in person. We
strongly encourage you to use these modes of communications, as
faxed or mailed assignments are not accepted except on a
pre-approved exception basis.
Who do I contact if I am having problems with the instructor?
Please contact
jconnor@unex.berkeley.edu immediately to help us determine
the problem. Your instructor should be very explicit on the
course syllabus or welcome message in regards to his or her
availability. If the instructor is going out of town or will be
away from the computer for an extended period of time, he/she
must notify each student. However, we do request that you be
understanding because holidays are not the same in all
countries, the time zones are likely to be very different, and
even the day of the week may be different depending on your
global location.
How many hours are required outside of class time to
complete reading assignments and homework?
You should expect to spend up to a minimum of 3 hours of outside
study for every class room hour. For example, for a course with
30-hour course length, you are expected to spend at least 90
hours in study. The actual time required for each course will
vary from student to student.
What happens if I fall behind or complete the course early?
The online courses are self-paced within the time frames
allowed. Thus, it is recommended that you sign-up for the online
version of this program only if you can commit the time to
complete it successfully.
