How on-demand classes work. You can take an on-demand, instructor-led class at almost any time (although you will need to make arrangements with the instructor ahead of time). You work one-on-one with the instructor instead of participating in a group class.
For classes that have weekly lessons (such as Beginning Developmental Editing), you’ll be expected to submit your assignments weekly, on an agreed-to schedule.
Before you register for the class, please get in touch with the instructor to provide your desired schedule, including start and end dates. ([email protected]).
As with any instructor-led class, assignments must be turned in by the agreed-to deadline; deadlines cannot be extended.
If you have an emergency arise that makes it impossible to complete the work, please get in touch with the instructor at [email protected] and we will try to work out a solution.
