You’re a busy student. Between school, work, sports, extracurricular activities, a social life, and other responsibilities, it can be hard to balance everything at once, especially when you’re taking a full course load.
Fortunately, there’s another option. You don’t have to sacrifice the things you love for the credits you need. A self-paced online course through BYU Independent Study gives you the flexibility to learn where and when it works for you, at your own pace and with less pressure. Whether you need an extra course to graduate or you’re far away from campus, self-paced courses can help you take charge of your learning.
Flexibility and Control
With self-paced online learning, you can study when and where it works best for you. Do you have more time in the morning before work or practice? You can work on your coursework then. Perhaps you have a gap between classes. Use that time to make progress. Unlike traditional classes, you aren’t confined to a specific class schedule. You choose how your coursework fits into your life, not the other way around.
Learn at Your Own Pace
Some content will be more difficult, while other material may come easily. With self-paced courses, you can choose how long you spend on a topic. Move faster through material you already understand and take more time to work through difficult concepts. If life gets busy, you can adjust your pace. Unlike traditional semester-based classes, BYU Independent Study gives students up to 12 months to complete a course.
Less Stress and Pressure
Because self-paced courses give you more control over when you complete coursework, they can make it easier to manage your workload. Instead of keeping pace with a traditional class schedule, you can give yourself more time to prepare for assignments, projects, and exams.
