CLASSROOM: 
2254 CONF, BYU Campus

Are students expected to participate during the class? Can they ask questions?

Students will not be demanded to participate in class, but the instructor will ask questions for people to answer, though not singling anyone out. Participation will be at the will of each participant. The instructor may do some exercises with participants “in class”, but it would not be for all to see/hear, unless the instructors ask for volunteers and you choose to do so.

Can participants join in from anywhere/other countries?

Yes, people can register and join in from all over. This course will be a virtual event. Everyone is welcome!
Note: All people attending the course should be registered individually whether taking it in-person or online. There should not be any “sharing” of the Zoom classes with unregistered participants. 

Do I need a video camera to take the course?

You will need a way to access Zoom, but you can be on mute and your camera off if you just want to listen to and watch the instructor.

Does the "no cost" tuition for BYU employees also apply to those of us who teach for BYU–Idaho or BYU–Hawaii?

The “no cost” tuition is covered by BYU Benefits for BYU (Provo) employees only. We do not have a benefits option for BYU–Idaho or BYU–Hawaii employees.

Does this course have an enrollment cap or can any number of people sign up until the registration close date?

We are limited to 300 people, but if we go over that in registrations we can get a license for more. You can sign up right until the registration deadline, which is just before the second class starts.

How do I access the course online?

The course will be available to access on this website via Zoom links. We will post the links under “Live Course Access” to allow only those who are registered to have access to the course links. The live class links can be found by clicking the “Live Course Access” link in the menu. Please test your login access before class starts.

Live Course Access login instructions

I am not a BYU student or employee, but I am a university student elsewhere. I’m not sure if that falls into the university student category.

Because you are a university student (any college/university) you do qualify to take the course for the University Student price listed on the Website. You can register from this website and select the University Student option when it shows the various sections to choose from.

What computer equipment/programs do I need to access the course?

You will need just the Internet for access to this website and access to Zoom.

What does an interactive online class setting look like? Is it more of a Zoom class everyone joins or a webinar style that we would just join to watch/listen to?

It will be taught in Zoom. Participants can ask questions and be part of the class if they so choose, as directed by the instructor.

What is the registration deadline?

If you are taking the course for credit, you must register before the first class starts. If you are taking it for non-credit/audit, you can register up until the second class starts.

What time do I access the course?

The live course will start according to the schedule on the Website. It will be live and interactive each class period according to the scheduled times. You can access the “Live Course Access” any time before class starts and we ask that you login to the “Live Course Access” to test your access before the first day of class. This way we can help with any troubles you may have.

Will the classes be recorded and available to watch after each lesson is live-streamed?

Yes. The link of each recorded live class will be posted on this website the day after each class. They will be located on the schedule under "Live Course Access". Each recorded session of past classes will be available to view for the duration of the course
