  Group Participation

  Multiple students from one organization may participate in the same course “as a group” with the following caveats:

  1. The group’s camera must capture all students at all times during course hours. The instructor must be able to easily identify each individual.
  2. Each student will require their own computer and log-in information to complete the daily quizzes, assignments, mock exams, etc. (as these are provided online and are graded in real-time and must be completed individually).
  3. Each student will require their own computer and log-in information to access review and study materials when studying outside of course hours.
  4. Should any of the above guidelines not be followed, at the instructor’s discretion, students will be required to participate in remaining course hours on individual devices.
