Here's an Online Advisor Checklist demonstrating what we commit to provide.

In an online classroom, our primary means of communication is written. 书面语言有很多优点:有更多的机会进行理性思考, more ability to go in-depth, and more time to think through an issue before posting a comment. However, written communication also has certain disadvantages, 比如缺乏面对面的肢体语言信号, intonation, pausing, facial expressions, and gestures. As a result, please:

• 要意识到误解的可能性，并以积极的态度撰写你的评论, supportive, and constructive manner.
• 编辑你在课堂讨论、电子邮件或作为作业提交的任何内容. Academic writing requires editing. Run spell checker to help you detect any changes you may need to make.
• Carefully constructed complete sentences and meaningful paragraphs are expected; abbreviated phrases are appropriate for texting, not course assignments.
• Include your full name, Andrews ID, 以及在发送有关问题的电子邮件时提供完整的信息以获得最佳服务.

Login to learninghub.massimoscalieri.com with your Andrews username and password.  Click on your class title(s) on your dashboard. 如果你在开课前一周内没有看到你注册的课程, and within a day after you enroll, email sdestudents@massimoscalieri.com.

Find the syllabus in the course schedule or here for information about textbooks and other materials to have in hand by the first day of class. You will find written, audio and video information and learning activities organized within each module of the class.  Tour a sample undergraduate course in this short slide show. Orientiation modules in each course will prepare you for the interaction opportunities in the particular class, as they vary depending on format (less in self-paced, more in interactive online), discipline, teaching strategies selected by the class author, etc.  The course schedule includes email for the instructor, and the course space includes email, phone, and discussion forum interaction with classmates and instructors.

To successfully complete online learning, students must be able to access information online (e.g. assigned articles, videos, simulations, discussion forums), and do assignments using a browser, and word processing, spreadsheets or other software specified for a particular course. 

Check that your computer and internet connection meet minimum technical requirements. 由于标准不断变化，每次注册时都要重新检查您的技术.

It is your responsibility to maintain access to your online course and all tech tools needed for the duration of your study. 有一个备用电脑计划，比如在朋友/家人家里的电脑, Internet café, public library, university computer labs, etc. 技术问题不能作为错过在线课程截止日期的借口. 

If no instructions are included with an assignment about file format, save and upload in either .rtf or .pdf format.  Click ‘save as’ and select .rtf or .pdf from the formats available for saving your paper or project. Contact your instructor if unsure.

If you detect an error in the course set-up or have a question about text or exam items after completing the assessment, please email dlit@massimoscalieri.com and your instructor. Include a detailed explanation or question with your name, student number, course title and number, and the specific webpage URL or page number.  

Expect to spend 35-45 hours of focused study time to complete each undergraduadte semester credit, and 45-60 hours per graduate credit. Most term-based courses finish within the 12-16 week term; intensives can be scheduled to complete within 3-8 weeks. 仔细阅读教学大纲，把作业日期写进你的个人日程表. 在16周的学期内完成3学分的本科课程或2学分的研究生课程, schedule 6-9 hours of study per week.

To succeed in a self-paced open learning class, choose a steady pace and schedule regular, fixed hours of study, ideally during your most alert hours each day. Schedule 100-135 hours to complete a 3-credit undergraduate class. There is wisdom in the saying: to fail to plan is to plan to fail.

Like a face-to-face class, you need to attend class by logging in to your class space regularly.  If you plan to finish in four months, schedule 6-9 hours for learning activities in one class each week. While self-paced classes allow you to flexibly schedule, success depends largely on your commitment to a plan of study at an intensity you pick to finish by the end date - or your own earlier deadline.

一些研究生课程要求学生每年面对面进行(重新)适应, group work, and/or intensive classes. All types of online classes use learninghub.massimoscalieri.com as the learning management system. Interactive online classes and cohort-based programs may require at least one synchronous video conference per term. Learn more about course delivery formats here.

上传当前照片作为学术诚信鉴定点是必需的. Here are the steps to upload your photo, once admitted:
1. Choose a recent color photo looking directly into the lens.  裁剪为只有头和肩膀的图像，尺寸为480像素宽x 720高.  Save to a medium resolution for web/internet publishing.
2. Login to PREVUE
4. Click UPLOAD PICTURE below the photo space, to the left of your name.
5. Browse to locate the photo you prepared (in step 1), and upload.
6. Email sdestudents@massimoscalieri.com or text 269-397-4477 if you need assistance.

One of the benefits of uploading your photo is that you can then request your Andrews ID card as an online student. 当您通过电子邮件向您的学术顾问提出要求时，第一张卡将免费发放, including your full name, Andrews ID, and the mailing address to which the card should be sent.

课程大纲中列出了课堂所需的教科书和其他用品.  Access the syllabus through your course space in learninghub.massimoscalieri.com or the course schedule.  FirstDayComplete is a great textbook cost saving service available currently to students admitted to main campus; online students best use amazon or supplier trusted to deliver rapidly in your region.

学习的成功需要从一开始就能接触到学习材料, so order in time to have the texts needed by the first day of class. 

The Andrews bulletin lists any prerequisite for an undergraduate Math course like this: MPE ≥ P2, or MPE ≥ P3, or MPE = P5. A Math Placement Exam (MPE) must be take if a student does not have a transfer math grade of C or higher from an accredited university or college, 或SAT或ACT成绩达到或高于该课程要求的最低水平, as listed on this equivalency table.  

Students pay $20 for 6 months access to the ALEKS PPL 在线学习模块，通过该模块，一旦技能更新，就可以进行MPE.  See the Math Department MPE Schedule to take exams on main campus. Students living more than an hour from campus should use this online calendar 通过缩放视频会议安排监考预约.
