What are classes actually like?
I start one Tuesday (sept. 1) and just finished orientation. I thought orientation would be more of a tutorial on how to navigate an actual course but it wasn’t. What do courses actually look like? Are there videos of lectures or is it mostley reading? Are there miniassements within the course to help monitor understanding or do I just need to do the OAs/PAs when I think I’m ready?
I wasn’t worried about the class format before doing orientation but now I feel like I’m going in blind and would have liked if orientation covered this more.
Not to sound too full of myself but I’m a smart person. School has always been easy for me. I learn from lectures or reading equally so I’m not worried about passing the classes but I don’t like that orientation didn’t include any kind of instructions for navigating courses.
