Course Information
Who are these courses for?
These courses are designed for non-native speakers of English who are already at a mid-intermediate level in written English. Potential students usually have a college or university background and, in many cases, already have work experience. Their goal is to become more independent in their written communication for the workplace
Are these credit courses?
These are non-credit courses. Nevertheless, students receive eight (8) Continuing Education Units (CEU) for each course successfully completed.
How does an online course work?
Each course is divided into five learning modules. Each module covers a period of two weeks and is composed of well-structured learning units which allow students to:
- work individually (virtual lessons, grammar and vocabulary exercises, written work to be submitted to the tutor, learning resources)
- communicate/collaborate with their classmates (discussion forums)
- communicate in real time with their tutor and/or other students (chat, online meetings).
Is the schedule flexible?
Yes, but students must follow a course calendar and submit their work on the dates indicated. There are no courses given online at a set date and time.
How many hours of work are involved each week?
From 4 to 5 hours. However, the time devoted to study and homework can vary substantially between students.
How will I be evaluated?
Evaluation is based on individual written work, communicative tasks, and participation in various learning activities. There will be an online final test on a fixed date (your choice of the last or second-to-last day of the session). Your final mark will appear on your McGill transcript.
