please define "do at your pace".
All the courses that I have looked into wanted me to complete within the limits of their schools semester and not let me take say two years or more to finish.
Something quite that lengthy would be too long in my opinion (especially for one course). It'd be nice to have a little bit of grace in there, while still putting some form of limit on it. Possibly extending one course to the equivalent of two semesters with a little bit of grace if needed for health reasons, etc. Most students even with severe health issues could probably complete a course within that timeframe.

The last grad courses that I took online had us reading approx. 200 pages per week, several online lectures each week, a minimum of 5 hours per week online discussion with classmates, possibly an online quiz or two per week (over the reading material) and paper(s) for 5 weeks. We then had a couple more weeks to submit our final project. In return, the school was to provide a "quick" return of evaluated (graded) papers, an evaluation of our online discussion and grading of our quizzes (if there were any for the class. After the final project was submitted, we could expect a wait of usually only a matter of a couple of days.
Total time allowed for the course 7 weeks for 2 hours of credit. Total (work) time estimated per week...15-20 hours. Online is an alternative, but it really only works if you are dedicated enough to put in the time and effort.

Thank you for the replies. Do at your pace seems to mean do at their pace. And yes, my example of two years may have been too long
[But what if you are working full time and have never done the college thing? and only have one or two nights a week free?]
" reading approx. 200 pages per week, several online lectures each week, a minimum of 5 hours per week online discussion with classmates, possibly an online quiz or two per week" Does not sound like "do at your pace" Congratulations on passing.

Wow, thanks for breaking down the numbers! It's eye-opening to see the cost comparisons between traditional Christian higher education and Logos Mobile Education courses. The affordability and accessibility of the Logos courses are definitely worth considering, especially for those looking to further their education without breaking the bank. Thanks for sharing this insightful perspective! For individuals seeking affordable education options, exploring Logos Mobile Education courses could be a game-changer, especially for students or learners in areas like Khairpur Mirs who may benefit from the flexibility and accessibility of online learning with the guidance of tutors in Khairpur Mirs.

You are responding to an announcement more than a decade old. The Logos Mobile Education unit has essentially been closed with the exception of finishing a few unfinished projects.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
