What kind of time commitment is roughly expected for each course?
You should expect to spend the same time per course that you would if you were taking a normal on-campus graduate course in terms of class preparation. Your course work will include readings, regular assignments, writing papers, and participating in discussions through the online course discussion boards. What actually takes more time is the participation in these discussions since, unlike in traditional on-campus classes, you will be spending time typing your input and reading other students’ postings. However, these discussions have the advantage of allowing everyone to participate as much as they like and have time to form and express their thoughts.
