Modules
The course is taught in a series
of sections or " Modules". Each module lasts one week and represents a specific food law topic, issue or geographic region. Some more comprehensive topics may
require more than one week. Each module will be uploaded on Monday morning. You will have one week to read the materials and complete
the assignment. Once uploaded, the Modules remain online throughout
the duration of the course so you can always go back in case you miss a
week or need to refer to a specific topic. Here's an sample Index of
the Modules in this course. The list of courses will change
with each semester.
Food Labelling in the EU Your assignments will be due
by the following Monday and can be submitted automatically using our
Course Assignment Drop Box feature or by email, fax or snail mail. Grades are posted
electronically and send to you by email. Class participation is
accomplished by means of synchronous and asynchronous Internet communication
technologies called Discussion Forum. So there you have it.
It should take an average of nine hours per week to complete a
module. You simply go online each Monday morning and a new module
will be waiting. Read the materials, explore the hyperlinked and
other Internet-based resources, complete the assignment, upload it to othe course assignment drop box, and you're done for the week.
Now, lets be realistic. What if you're called out of town for a
week or are otherwise unable to access or complete a module within the
one week time limit? No problem. Time extensions can be granted;
and if you give us a bit of notice, the course materials can be provided
to you by fax, email attachment, CD or otherwise. If you are looking for a convenient way to continue your education and you need information regarding the regulation of foods in the European Union or, if you work for a company planning an expansion into a particular EU market, this is the course for you.
