Class delivery formats
There are four ways classes are taught. Instructors and departments will communicate further details directly to students enrolled in the class.
Students and instructors meet in person at regularly scheduled days and times.
100% of instruction is online with set class and face-to-face instructor meeting times using remote instruction technology. Instructors will provide both verbal and/or written communication for class requirements and expectations. The entire class, including exams, is online. You may have seen this referred to as “synchronous” delivery.
100% of instruction is online without set class or instructor meeting times. Class materials and assignments are accessible online. Instructors will provide written communication for all class requirements and expectations. The entire class, including exams, is online. You may have seen this referred to as “asynchronous” delivery.
Specific details for each class will be provided by the instructor.
Students can expect one of three variations of “blended” based upon how faculty believe the class is best conducted.
- Class has set and required student meeting times for all classes. Instruction is in person at UMD, online, and face-to-face (F2F).
