CS Online FAQs

CS Online courses are designed as fully online, collaborative, highly interactive, and supported by faculty and teaching assistants through the Canvas learning management system (LMS).

Each 8-week class begins with an online real-time video conference orientation on Saturday morning. During this session, faculty, teaching assistants, and students introduce themselves and review the course syllabus and contents.

Course materials for the week are released on Wednesday mornings. Students are expected to spend an average of 16 hours between Thursday and the following Monday reviewing pre-recorded lectures, video and reading assignments, and collaborating with a team of 3-5 students on hands-on projects. Support from teaching assistants and faculty is available through discussion forums, email, or Google Hangouts. Assignments and quizzes are typically due the following Tuesday.

The final week of the course usually includes a collaborative project and/or a proctored final exam.
