Classroom Instruction

IAU is not about giant lecture halls and a droning voice in the distance. In IAU’s smaller classes, you will get an opportunity to speak personally with your professor in every class. Your professor will know your name and get to know you on a more personal level. This can be an enormous advantage when you need references from instructors later, or simply in allowing you to get to know your professor personally. In addition, small classes, offer plenty of opportunities for class discussion. This is ideal for international students eager to interact with their classmates and professors.

Traditional classroom instruction will consist of lectures, reading assignments, class discussions, and handouts. Classroom questions and discussions are strongly encouraged. Other instructional techniques may also be employed i.e. audio-visual presentations, speakers, critical thinking exercises and group activities.

Online Instruction

If you're unfamiliar with the concept of online learning, allow us to give you a brief overview. IAU Online courses are an exceptionally accessible, flexible resource whether your goal is gaining new skills, working towards your degree, or advancing your career with a program certificate.

Standard classroom books and printed materials are typically used in combination with online lectures, assignments, and supplementary course materials. Some courses have formal lectures, similar in length and content to lectures given in hybrid classes. Online lectures may be entirely text-based or consist of some combination of text, graphics, sound and video. Other courses break the content up into smaller units or abandon the lecture entirely, instead relying on group discussion and others types of learning activities.

To ensure that students will be successful, an assessment shall be made at the time of processing admissions. The survey is located on the last page of the Application for Admissions. Assessments shall be made on whether each prospective student has the skills and competencies to succeed in an online learning environment, as well as a student's access to computer, software, and internet technologies. These will be taken into consideration before admitting a prospective student into the program.
