Campus Cohort Students
- Courses delivered via distance
to campus cohort students combine campus class meetings
with online learning activities. Campus cohort students
are students who are not employed at a corporate partner
site.
- Most of the coursework is conducted
online and campus class meetings are designed to maximize
the value of face-to-face interaction with other students
and with faculty.
- Campus cohort students are expected
to come to campus to participate in 2-4 class sessions
for each course in which they are enrolled. As a result,
students are guaranteed face-to-face interaction with
faculty in every course they take via distance.
- Courses may originate on the Troy
or Hartford campus. To participate in campus class meetings
students would go to the campus at which the course originates.
- Students are also expected to
actively participate in both synchronous and asynchronous
online activities and must have access to appropriate
computing resources with which to do this.
- The faculty will designate for
each course the sessions in which they expect distance
students to be on campus and it will vary based on the
design of the course and the way in which the faculty
choose to conduct class meetings.
- Most courses meet once a week
in the evening for 3-hour class meetings, but there are
some courses that meet twice a week during the day for
1-2 hour class meetings.
Corporate Partner Sites
- Courses are delivered via distance
to students at corporate partner sites.
- Students are also expected to
actively participate in both synchronous and asynchronous
online activities and must have access to appropriate
computing resources with which to do this.
- Faculty site visits are scheduled
at the beginning of the semester in coordination with
site administrators.
- Rensselaer faculty make visits
each semester to those sites with sufficient enrollments
to allow for face-to-face interaction.
