..."attending" the online classes...

How do we "attend" the online classes? I haven't heard anything yet. Are they blogs? books? when do we set up the blogs?

The Courses
For you first timers... you instructor should be contacting you very soon about setting up a blog. as you know classes start on the second. We usually have been contacted by the instructor right before classes start via email with instructions for setting up a blog. From what I can remember the BAC has been developing new software for blogging but I don't know exactly where they are in this process. It would not hurt to set up a Blogger.com account, but you still may have to start a new blog for the class.

are there two classes per semester?

It appears – from the blogs at least – that there are
two classes per semester, a design and theory class? Is it your understanding
that this is standard through the program, or does that vary??

a. The first semester should have a design/studio class and also a history/theory class. These two classes, for us anyways, ran in parallel to each other where the subject mater complimented each other.

b. The second semester also had two classes, a design/studio and a technical class. These two also ran in parallel. With a third that ties all the semesters together… a great leadership program.

c. The third, fourth and fifth semesters are thesis… and so far, from what I can tell, we are registering for three classes.
