Mode of study for courses
Face-to-face learning: The course is organised so that learning occurs at a specific time and location (e.g., in a classroom), with students participating in real-time.
Distance learning: The course is organised so that learning occurs online with mandatory real-time participation at online meetings, on-site sessions, or field study. Students must follow the syllabus and submit assignments before designated deadlines. If an exam is held in the course, students must take it at the specified time.
Online learning: The course is organised so that learning occurs online, and no real-time participation is required. Still, students must follow the syllabus and submit assignments before designated deadlines. If an exam is held in the course, then students must take it at the specified time.
Self-study: The course is based on an arrangement between the student and the instructor, and learning occurs irrespective of time and place (e.g., reading course, individual assignment).

Online learning: Courses are organised so that learning occurs online, and no real-time participation is required, but students must follow the syllabus and submit assignments before designated deadlines. If an exam is held in the course, students must take it at the specified time.
