For this online pre-course, Bridge to BU participants will be led through a series of modules that will orient them to the American classroom and academic culture. Language activities within the modules will assist the program administration and faculty to identify and assess what additional support may be necessary during the Fall semester. The modules will also familiarize participants with BU's expectations for academic integrity and what it means to join a learning community. The workload for this course is three hours per week of online content. Students are expected to do several hours of additional homework outside the online content. Students will be evaluated on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory scale.
