The facilitation styles of online faculty vary greatly. Some faculty are in the online masters in nursing course daily, others only a few times a week. You will be able to tell what type of faculty you have in the first week of a class. Look at the pattern of dates for faculty posts in the introduction area of the course and the first week of discussions. If the dates of posting appear daily, then you know the pattern of the faculty to plan how far in advance you need to post questions or send emails. Think about the timing of faculty being in the course and time your questions appropriately.
Many online faculty do not go into their course during the weekend when course assignments are due, so be sure to ask any assignment questions by mid week. If you are anticipating a difficult week, be sure to request any needed extensions at least 24-48 hours before the work is due. This good communication will go a long way to working well with the online masters in nursing faculty.
