Are the assignments and exams the same for distance education as for resident courses?
Generally speaking, yes. Professors may make assignment changes to courses after the lectures were recorded in order to accommodate non-resident work (e.g., an oral report may be substituted for another assignment), or to simply update previous recordings (as it would be a waste of time and materials to re-record a course every time assignments get updated, changes are only recorded on the syllabus). The external course syllabus overrides anything contrary said in class.
