The student completes the assignments at any time as long as they are completed by the assigned deadlines. In this mode, the instructor and the student need not be online at the same time or the same date. Exam Guidelines: The Mid-Term and the Final Exam must be completed under the supervision of a certified proctor. This could be the Guidance Counselor at your school.
