An Instructor and Classmates in Every Class
Online doesn’t have to mean you’re on your own. In a live online class, an instructor teaches and takes questions as they come up. Your classmates ask questions, share how they view a topic and work through the material with you. And the set class time gives your week a rhythm, with the next class already on the calendar.
