Frequently Asked Questions:
“How much homework will I need to do outside of class?” You will need plenty of time outside the course to keep up to date with your coursework. At least an extra free day per week is recommended.
“What will happen if I miss a class? If you miss a class your coursework will suffer substantially. If you miss four consecutive classes without notifying RACC you will automatically be withdrawn from the course
“When will the exams take place?” There are no exams. You will be continuously assessed based on your in-class and submitted work, and your marked work will be externally verified by OCN towards the end of the course.
“Do I need any special clothing or equipment?” A memory stick to save your work is essential. It is useful to have access both to the internet and to the software outside the class so that you can practise what you have learned in class
