Abstract

With advancements in technology, there has been an increased demand for online graduate courses. While some departments offer their graduate programs asynchronously online, there are some that offer graduate programs synchronously with the on-campus program. We will discuss the successes and challenges of engaging students at a distance, including overseeing research projects.
