Our first class meeting is an orientation session to be sure everyone can log in to the online classroom and to orient everyone to the features of the online course environment, course expectations, etc. There will be 30 class meetings (in addition to the Orientation Meeting) for the year. Classroom discussion forums and other online course content are available 24/7.

2. How much does this course cost?
​
Tuition for this course is $300 for the year. (Please see our Registration Page for our many Discount Programs!)

​

3. What does tuition include?

​

Tuition includes:

 

• once-weekly live class sessions,

• weekly presentation by the instructor,

• assigned reading and writing opportunities,

• discussion forums in a secure online course management system,

• links to additional content to encourage further study, 

• and feedback for writing and presentation assignments from the CM Live! Instructor. 

​

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 graded course based on participation, attendance, and assignment completion. Students are expected, at a minimum, to:

 

• read the assigned core readings and support texts,

• attend weekly online class, (we have recordings if a student must be absent)

• complete one weekly narration (typically, one day's readings from the assigned weekly readings),

• complete one presentation project per term, and

• utilize the online forums for discussion.

 

These are the minimum requirements for passing the course. Students failing to meet these objectives will be notified so that they can improve their overall course grade and experience in the course. (We have weekly extra credit opportunities for this purpose.) Those not making a passing grade will receive an "audit" status for the course, with no course credit granted. A certificate of completion and notes for the 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 high school credit in British Literature. For the student that completes additional readings and writings from the optional Add-On Course Intensives, this would qualify as an Honors-Level British Literature course. (Also an "English" credit.)

​

 

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

 

Classroom discussion forums are available 24/7 to encourage peer-to-peer interaction beyond the weekly live classroom chat format. The forums will include discussion boards for the required readings as well as optional readings. We also have a more social, "Getting To Know You Board" where we encourage students to get to know their peers by sharing posts about their hobbies, etc.

​

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. We are able to record class sessions for make up. Classroom Power Point presentations from class will be made available to students following the weekly presentation. Please inform the administrator 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.

​
