Online Graduate Degree FAQ

How can I study with classmates if I take an online course?

Answer: Most courses develop a communication platform that allows students to share information rather easily and in real time.  This can be done several ways.  The easiest is a discussion network or on-going blog or thread.  This is usually manned by a group of teaching assistants and is usually broadcast to the entire class.  In addition, you can usually choose to take a discussion “off-line” into a private discussion if the topic strays from the general.

It is not uncommon, if the class is large enough, to find other classmates that actually physically live near you! In this case, you can get together and study.  This is becoming more popular as more and more people learn about the value of an online education!
