Methodology
The educational programs and the instructional materials are designed explicitly for guided independent study through distance learning. Online student educational programs and instructional materials are a combination of instructor-guided study and guided independent study. This self-paced approach requires constant effort on the student’s part, encouraged by frequent evaluation from the instructor.
Demonstration of mastery of content is accomplished by self-study activities and required quizzes/assignments. Required quizzes/assignments are recorded by the school and form a part of the student’s permanent record. Students are notified of their grades when they login to the student portal of our Learning Management System.
