If You Have Questions As You Take a Course

If you have a question about any aspect of a course on the <LEARNING_PORTAL>, consider the following options to find an answer:

Note: If you identify an error or mistake within the course, please contact the course staff directly or use the course discussions (if available) to report the issue.

  1. Check the Course Page: Course teams often post updates on the course page, which may include clarifications on course content, reminders for upcoming deadlines, or announcements about events and milestones.

  2. Review the "Introduction," "Overview," or "Welcome" Section: Many courses include a section at the beginning that provides key information about how the course works, what you can expect, and what the course team expects from you.

  3. Participate in Course Discussions: Engage with other learners in the course discussion forums. They may have answers to your questions or share similar inquiries. If you encounter an unfamiliar term, phrase, or abbreviation, such as “finger exercise” or “board work,” search the discussion page or post a question yourself. Your questions and comments also provide valuable feedback to the course team, helping improve the learning experience.

  4. Explore Additional Resources: Some courses offer supplementary resources like a course wiki, which may provide further explanations. Additionally, external platforms such as course-specific Facebook pages or Twitter feeds may allow learners to share information and insights.

By exploring these options, you can find answers to your questions and enhance your learning experience.
