​

3. What does tuition include?

​

Tuition includes the weekly class meetings with webinar presentations by the instructor as well as access to our online course system which includes discussion forums, a journal space for each student, and other media links which serve as useful resources to enhance our studies.

​

Texts are not included in the tuition. However, many of the texts are available free, online, or in more cost-effective Kindle formats. See the Texts information page for more details regarding texts.
​

4. Is this a Graded Course?

This is an A/Pass/Audit course based on participation, attendance and assignment completion. 

 

To make an "A" in the course, students must complete all elements in the course which include:

 

• reading the assigned weekly core and support text readings,

• attending the weekly online classes (absences require notification)

• completing one weekly journal narration by the due date,

• completing 3 discussion prompts per week, by the due date, and

• completing one project for the course.

 

While students must complete all of the above, for an "A" designation, they may also use "bonus" points to substitute, for example, for late work, by completing weekly internet challenges and fun activities to make up for any missed points that invariably do happen, even with the best of intentions. However, bonus points are only accepted (offered weekly) when the student completes the minimum requirements for that week. So, it is never a substitute for doing the weekly work, but can serve as a "buffer" for the unexpected. A student makes a passing grade if they complete 75% of the above requirements. Otherwise, they are given an "Audit" status. This is because, rather than Fail a child, we prefer to "move them" to audit status. Some students are unable to complete writing portions of the course and enroll as Audit Students. (We do not encourage this option, but know that for some, it is a preferred option.)  A transcript will be provided at the end of the course for the student's records.

​

5. How many credits is this course worth?

This course qualifies for a half credit in high school British Literature. For the student that completes additional readings and writings from the optional Add-On Course Intensives, this would qualify as a half credit Honors-Level designated British Literature course.

​

 

6. What additional Online Services are available to students in this class?

Classroom discussion forums and journals are available 24/7 to encourage peer-to-peer interaction beyond the weekly live classroom chat format and to provide flexibility for completing assigned work. Additional Media Links of interest are provided when they enhance our current studies and are available online 24/7 to the student. At this time, we will not be offering makeup videos for this course. We highly encourage consistent, weekly attendance for the webinars.

​

7. What is your Attendance Policy?

Regular, weekly attendance is expected. While some absences are unavoidable, success in the class will be enhanced by consistent attendance.  Success not just for the one student, but for all students. Recordings are available for missed sessions, though not promised, due to any unforeseen technical difficulties.  Classroom Power Point presentations from class will be made available to students following the weekly presentation. Please inform the administrator and/or instructor of any absences, planned or otherwise, as soon as possible. Students are expected to have read the assignments prior to attending the class session for the week.
