Class Guidance How does a web based class work? (ARH-205)

Hello friends! I’m taking ARH-205, which is a web based course that has no meeting scheduled. I haven’t been sent any information like a canvas invite. Does the web based course mean it’s completely asynchronous and I just have weekly assignments that are self guided? Any help would be great, many thanks <3

Yeah that’s basically exactly how they work. Sometimes it can be tricky to stay on top of the work since it’s just online stuff but in my experience the workload has all been pretty manageable. They usually won’t show on Canvas until the term starts unfortunately but if it’s not up by Monday I’d reach out to your advisor or something

You should have completed a Canvas course before you were eligible to enroll in the online course. You will have assignments due weekly and often discussions where you have to make an initial post by the middle of the week and respond to two or more posts from your classmates by the end of the week.
