Studying online is no easy ride. The level of participation we expect and the assignments we set reflect the high standards of the University of Liverpool. Our online learning environment provides a total immersion method, in which you examine subjects in depth and to deadlines, with weekly assignments, assessments and evaluation. You receive regular feedback and grading from your instructor based on your classroom participation, as well as ongoing discussion and input from classmates. The rigour of the programme means there are no formal examinations; this is a learning approach based on real-life participation, not the ability to memorise. In our programmes, you are evaluated on your ability to process information, turn it into knowledge, critically analyse it and communicate it clearly to others. Quizzes and rote learning play no part in today’s workplace challenges. Why should they be included in a curriculum for the contemporary professional?
