The course material is covered in 8 chapters, which are outlined in the Course Outline. Each chapter has an associated lecture, which involves audio, slide, and note information. The course is self-paced, as students can work through each of the chapters in whichever order is preferred. An invigilated final exam can be scheduled once the student has completed all of the chapter materials.

The course includes 8 modules that correspond to the first 8 chapters of the Weiten and McCann textbook. For each module, students are required to:
a) read a chapter from the textbook and review accompanying slides and information provided by the professor (all available on the Desire2Learn site), and
b) write a quiz, which is also provided on Desire2Learn

There is an invigilated final exam, which is completed once all 8 quizzes have been completed. There are also opportunities to earn extra course credit, which are detailed in the Course Outline.
