Understanding Classes

What is a Class?

A class is an instance of a course - a scheduled teaching session where:

An instructor delivers course content
Students attend and participate (onsite or online)
Attendance is recorded
Feedback is collected post-session

Class Structure

Most classes have 12 sessions each:

Level 1 classes - 12 sessions
Most Level 2 classes - 12 sessions
Stream courses (Spiritual Leadership or Supportive Leadership) - 6 sessions
Homiletics - 9 sessions

Level 2 students must choose one of two streams: Spiritual Leadership or Supportive Leadership. Each stream has courses with 6 sessions.

Onsite vs Online Classes

Each class runs in two formats simultaneously:

Onsite/Physical Classes:

Start time varies by campus (often evening)
May span 2-3 days depending on the campus schedule
Attendance uploaded by Campus Admin
Students attend in person at their campus

Online Classes:

Start at 12:00 AM on the same day as the physical class
End exactly one week after start
Students mark their own attendance
Access course content through the platform

Both onsite and online students take exams online through the platform.

Class vs. Course

Course - The subject being taught (e.g., "Introduction to Ministry")
Class - A specific instance of that course at a campus

Each course is delivered as a class with multiple sessions. Students must attend sessions to be eligible for exams.

Exam Eligibility

Students must have attendance for at least 11 sessions (out of 12) to be eligible to take the class exam. This applies to both:

Onsite students (attendance recorded by Campus Admin)
Online students (self-marked attendance)
