Online Course Considerations:
With help from your school counselor and parents, students should consider the following questions?
- Am I self-motivated and disciplined? Students should be prepared to devote as much time to the online course as would be expected in a face-to-face course. (three to five hours per day).
- Am I receptive to information through written or visual context as opposed to spoken communication with an instructor?
- Am I able to self-advocate and troubleshoot to get my academic and technological needs met?
- Do I have consistent access to the internet and a reliable laptop/desktop?
We understand that some students may find accessing online learning resources challenging. If you need reliable tools or connectivity, please contact our summer school coordinator.
