The following is the information pertaining to Fall 2020.
The information is **tentative** (subject to changes due to scheduling, etc).

**What is Synchronous learning?**\\
Synchronous learning is the kind of learning that happens in real time. This means that you, your classmates, 
and your instructor interact in a specific virtual place, through a specific online medium, at a specific time.
In other words, it’s not exactly anywhere, anyhow, anytime. Methods of synchronous online learning include video 
conferencing, teleconferencing, live chatting, and live-streaming lectures.

Under synchronous mode, materials will be made available for asynchronous learning (for students in different 
time zone or with insufficient internet access).

**What is Asynchronous learning?**\\
Asynchronous learning happens on your schedule. While your course of study, instructor or degree program will 
provide materials for reading, lectures for viewing, assignments for completing, and exams for evaluation, you 
have the ability to access and satisfy these requirements within a flexible time frame. Methods of asynchronous 
online learning include self-guided lesson modules, streaming video content, virtual libraries, posted lecture 
notes, and exchanges across discussion boards or social media platforms

The possibility of offering face-to-face learning experiences is being investigated.  If feasible, students will 
be given the option to come to campus for labs and/or exams.
