Frequently Asked Questions

How do distance education classes work?
The format will be very similar to an EBC Classroom setting. Students will be responsible for reading assignments and answering questions given by the professor each week. However, instead of coming to class to discuss the homework, students will be responsible to participate in online discussions with their professor and fellow classmates via discussion threads. Some classes will also include occasional videos posted by professors that students will need to watch.

What is the workload for distance education classes?
If a student is enrolled in a three unit class, they can expect six to nine hours of homework a week. For a two unit class the workload will be between four and six hours a week.

How much time will I spend online?
If your class is three units, you will be expected to spend three hours a week on the discussion threads for your class. If your class is two units, you will spend two hours a week on the discussion threads.

Do I have to be online at a specific time?
No, you can go online at any time to reply to the discussion threads, but you will need to spend the appropriate amount of hours online per class.
