*Calvin offers both face-to-face and online courses in the 8-week and 4-week format. Some courses meet at assigned times, while others are asynchronous. Break days are not specified for these courses; the professor may vary the intensity of class assignments as best fits the subject matter. Cumulative assignments/exams are part of the class and are typically due/administered on the penultimate or final day of class.
