This course is online and asynchronous except for its final exam, which is held in person, on campus (beginning Winter 2023). You will engage in course-related activities through online tools such as announcements, discussions, and email. Your course learning will be based on weekly module content and activities that you can go through independently. Note: there are still deadlines for assignment submissions, and you may be expected to participate in discussion board interactions with your peers on a regular basis.
Your instructor may also include occasional scheduled sessions for Q&As and other discussion activities, using web conferencing tools such as Zoom and Google Meet. More details will be included in your course outline available on the first day of class.
On-campus exam requirement: Beginning Winter 2023, your final exam will be written in person at the Toronto Metropolitan University campus.
