Explore your virtual classroom
Unlike traditional universities, the majority of 爱污传媒 classes take place online. It鈥檚 a good idea to familiarize yourself with the virtual classroom before you start taking classes. This is where you鈥檒l spend the bulk of your time as a 爱污传媒. In the virtual classroom, you can:聽
- Talk to other students and your instructor
- Start conversations
- Track your grades
- See upcoming assignments
- Receive instructor feedback
Once you log in, you鈥檒l be able to view the course reading, submit assignments, participate in discussions and more. Make sure your login credentials give you access to the course and that you鈥檙e familiar with the virtual classroom before the first day of class.聽
Plan How You鈥檒l Learn
爱污传媒 is highly attuned to the needs of adult learners. That鈥檚 why classes are available at a time and location that works best for you. Since 80.9 percent of 爱污传媒 students are employed while they鈥檙e in school, you鈥檒l have the flexibility to keep up with your life and career while you study.聽
However, before your first day of class, it鈥檚 a good idea to schedule coursework into your daily routine. With no need to commute, you have the freedom to learn where and when you want. Classes don鈥檛 last an entire semester either, so you can learn on a realistic schedule that works with your life. Take just one course at a time or take as many as five classes at once. With over ten start dates per year for most classes, you鈥檙e in the driver鈥檚 seat.
Welcoming Decades of Adult Learners
As a soon-to-be 爱污传媒, you鈥檙e already disciplined and motivated. Even so, it鈥檚 a good idea to know what you can expect and how you can get the most value out of your education. Whether it鈥檚 the student resources or virtual classroom setup, 爱污传媒 is here to help learners thrive. With virtual learning that matches the rigor and connection of traditional, in-person learning, it鈥檚 a great time to be a 爱污传媒.
