The modules are a combination of self-paced and/or group activities. There are also two individual projects.
For each module you have a certain amount of time to complete the individual activities (lectures, readings, case studies and short module quizzes). This time varies per module but falls between two and three weeks. You can work at your own pace during that time to complete the activities. There are no weekly group discussion forums in this course. However, in the first module you have an opportunity to introduce yourself to your group in the "Introductions" discussion forum and do a team-building exercise. This forum is also a good place to discuss your schedules for the semester in regards to the group projects. Please check the course schedule for due dates for all individual activities.
There are three group projects during the semester (in Modules 1, 3, and 4). The group projects make use of group discussion forums. The completed group project document is handed in to the faculty, with the exception of Module 1, where the end product is a document which will be posted on a special discussion board where all students in the course can view and make comments. Details about each project will be found in the module folder when it is available.
The two individual projects fall between Modules 3 and 4 and after Module 5. These projects are governed by the UNC Honor Code.
