1.How should an online course be conducted and what does it contain?

We use ARC′s own online teaching platform, where you can view reading materials, assignments and videos, attend lectures and activities, and interact with other students. The assignments have different forms including essays, quizzes, group projects, discussions, etc. Your course will have a fixed start and end date, and your homework will also have a fixed deadline.

2.How long does each class take?

The time of each class is determined by the teacher and the course. There are two options:

a: 3 hours of recorded courses per week +2 hours of online Q&A +10 hours of homework and self-study time

10 hours of live online courses per week +5 hours of online self-study time

The above two methods can be determined according to the individual situation, there is no difference in learning outcomes.

3.Will online courses affect the quality of teaching？

No, it won’t. The difficulty level and duration of online class is the same as the offline class, and there is no difference in teaching results. ARC′s online courses can save you a lot of money to study abroad offline without any limitation of time and space or compromising the teaching quality, so that you can get credits anytime, anywhere.
