课程的开始日期是什么时候？

您可以在一月或七月开始该计划。

有学习技巧方面的支持吗？如何帮助我们改善学习习惯？

技能 Hub 致力于为您的学业成功和职业发展提供支持。在 Hub 上，您可以找到一系列资源、研讨会和在线课程，旨在提高您在各个领域的技能和知识，包括个人成长、数字素养、AI 素养、职场准备、时间管理、评估准备和学术技能。

我必须在教学机构学习才能完成课程吗？

不，该课程是在线提供的。

我每周应该学习多少小时？

作为粗略的指导，您应为每个学分预留 10 个小时。因此，15 个学分的 Module 相当于 150 个小时。不过，对于所有学术研究而言，阅读和研究的时间越多，获得的经验就越有价值。最终，您可以根据自己的其他工作安排学习计划，以便在注册期内完成课程。

我能获得资助或奖学金吗？

没有。该课程没有资金或奖学金选项，但您可以按 Modulation 申请课程。

每年有多少场考试，何时举行？

每年有两次考试，分别在五月和十月举行。

我的考试在哪里进行？

您的考试将在网上进行。

每个 Module 的及格分数是多少？

每个 Module 的及格分数为 40

如何对我进行评估？

对于所有 15 个学分的 Modulation，您将通过一次持续 2 小时 15 分钟的期末在线笔试进行评估。考核时间总是在 16 周学习课程结束后的两周内。

如果我未能通过评估会怎样？

如果您未能通过某个 Modulation 的考核，您将有机会在下一期课程中重考该考核，但只需支付重考费；或者重修该模块的全部课程，并支付该模块的全部费用。

我将收到哪些材料？网上有哪些资源？

一旦注册成功，Modulation 课程开始后，您就可以在 Coursera 学习平台上的虚拟学习环境 (VLE) 中访问学习材料。所有学习资源均可在 VLE 中获取，您还可以访问在线图书馆。

我可以为我已经完成的工作获得先前学习认证吗？

不接受任何先前学习的认可。
