Summer School 2022 Courses at Brandeis

Expand All
Due to the popularity of online classes, we strongly recommend students register in Workday as soon as they are able. Before registration opens, Brandeis students may want to review their Workday account and make sure they do not have a hold that could prevent registration. Many online courses fill to capacity quickly! To learn more about registration, please see the “How do I register?” section below.
In Summer 2022, there will be three main types of course offerings:
10-week Extended Session O Asynchronous courses. These courses are presented asynchronously using a common structured course calendar. Generally, students do not need to be online in front of their computer at set days and times each week. Instead, students have shared course deadlines for completing the readings, watching and creating videos, submitting assignments, critiquing peer work, posting original and thoughtful contributions to online discussion forums, and replying to classmates.
Students use and develop the following skillsets in our small online classes:
Strong reading and writing skills: our courses rely on written material, recorded video and podcasted audio. In addition to weekly readings, course content may include weekly online “lecture notes,” supplemental readings, articles, case studies and discussions. Students participate in the course through regular, written assignments, discussion posts and project work.
Effective time-management skills: using the syllabus, weekly checklists and an online calendar and assignments tool, students follow the course schedule and meet weekly assignment expectations. Students typically spend 18-22 hours per week in a 10-week course and 36-44 hours per week in a 5-week course including the live “remote learning” class meetings.
Comfort with the technology: students learn to use online learning technology effectively and contact student support for technological help as soon as they encounter a problem. All online summer courses are based within the Brandeis LATTE system, the University’s online learning environment. Remote learning courses will utilize Zoom. Many courses will also use other online tools, like the creation of videos, sharing of files, development of Google Slides, Sheets and Docs, as well as specialized programs developed for the subject matter.
Visit our course listings page. There you should be able to clearly see which courses will be offered on-campus, which courses will be offered online in real-time via Zoom, and which courses will be offered asynchronously.
All registration will take place in the Brandeis records system called Workday. Your path to enrollment differs if you are an existing Brandeis student, or if you are a Visiting student from another college or university.
