Biggest Surprises
- Chatting around the world!
- It is very easy to take e-campus classes at the University of Phoenix. They have tutorials for almost every class and in addition, have a beginners' tutorial for the computer beginner in a workshop!
Required Tech Skills
Students do need to be computer literate to complete assignments and have the technical skills to do so.
Typical Online Lecture - Single Day
The student is required to read the online materials and textbooks that are the lecture material of the facilitator. Therefore, it requires the student to read the assigned chapters to answer DQs and complete assignments.
Typical Online Course - Start to Finish
A typical course is a nine-week study of two classes for full-time students and a one-course class for part-time students.
Online Testing & Grading
There are several forums for testing. There's the regular forum with the facilitator who grades the materials submitted, and the testing forum for the particular subject or class. For example, the Mathlab for mathematics.
Did You Know?
- Academic counselors can help students with the selection of classes, and the counselor who enrolled a student into the University of Phoenix can assist him or her the first day of class so that he or she knows the e-campus arrangement.
- Students are their own time managers and can go to school at any time of day.
