This document provides frequently asked questions and answers for students taking an online class. It addresses questions about the time commitment required, expectations for communication and participation, academic honesty policies, and basic computer and internet skills needed to be successful in an online course. While an online class allows flexibility in when you complete the work, deadlines must still be met and a similar time commitment to a face-to-face class is expected. Instructors will use tools like email, discussion boards, and chat to engage with students and for students to communicate with each other. Proper online etiquette and following the same standards of courtesy, professionalism, and academic integrity as a traditional classroom are also emphasized.
