If your class is listed as Synchronous: class meetings resemble traditional on-campus In-Person classes in that students must be (virtually) present at the same time. Though they are conducted virtually, synchronous classes meet in real- time.
Students and instructors must commit to scheduled class times (as shown on CUNYfirst) and sign onto their virtual learning platform on schedule. Students can only be required to attend classes that are listed on the class schedule in CUNYfirst. During these classes, students will engage with the instruction during online lessons and presentations and even have virtual class discussions. Assignment deadlines and exams days/times are maintained and included on the class syllabus. All Synchronous class meeting days/times must be listed in the schedule of classes for students. Per best practices, instructors should make effective use of learning management systems for the posting of class materials and submission of class assignments.
