    Course Instruction Modalities

    Instruction Modalities

    • Synchronous class meetings will take place virtually.
    • Synchronous class meetings resemble traditional on campus classes in that students must be (virtually) present at the same time.
    • Students must commit to scheduled class times and sign onto their virtual learning platform on schedule.
    • During these classes, students will engage with the instruction during online lessons and presentations and even have virtual class discussions.
    • Some instructors may choose to substitute asynchronous work for a portion of the scheduled class meetings; the individual course instructor can provide this information.
    • Assignment deadlines and exam days/times are maintained and included on the class syllabus.
    • All Synchronous class meeting days/times are listed in the schedule of classes.

    Synchronous online courses appear like this in the course schedule:

    • Asynchronous class meetings do not require you to log in to your virtual classroom at a specified time.
    • Students do not have to follow a strict schedule to engage in live classes or discussions, and the only requirement regarding when they turn in their work is the assignment deadline, not an arbitrary timeline.
    • Assignment deadlines and exam days/times are maintained and included on the class syllabus.
    • Instructors may create non-mandatory opportunities for live interactions with and among students.
    • These courses will no longer have a day and time appearing in the CUNYfirst listing, where day and time will appear as TBA.
      Asynchronous online course listings appear like this in the course schedule.

    Asynchronous online course listings appear like this in the course schedule:

    • A hybrid class includes a combination of online instruction (synchronous or asynchronous) with some in-person class meetings taught face to face in a classroom on campus.
      Hybrid courses appear like this in the course schedule:

    • An In-Person class has all of its scheduled meetings on campus.

    In-Person courses appear like this in the course schedule:

    You can also read more about how the class will be structured and taught by clicking on the class on the CUNYfirst schedule to open the “Class Detail” and reading the “Class Notes” section.
