MASL provides a different kind of legal education. With an excellent foundation in legal theory, our students roll up their sleeves and put theory into action.
Skills training is integrated into coursework by our faculty—all of whom have actually practiced law—and reinforced through our one-of-a-kind trial practicum, clinics, and internships.
Today’s traditional legal education institutions have forced prospective law students to make the choice of either acceptance into a local law school, which may be difficult to gain admission because of a highly competitive admissions process or move to a new state or city.
Prospective law students are often forced to leave their job, families, and friends moving to that new state in order to earn their law degree or pursue other professional educational options. Mid-Atlantic’s online program allows students to complete their degree in a flexible learning environment and at a time and place that is convenient to them. There is no classroom attendance and students may accelerate their degree to finish in as little as two years.
Mid -Atlantic School of Law’s online programs prove a more affordable option than traditional law schools. Mid-Atlantic’s online degrees offer less expensive tuition prices and associated expenses almost always cost less. For example, there are no commuting costs, and sometimes required course materials, such as textbooks, are available online at no cost.
How Do Online Law Classes Work?
Mid -Atlantic allows instructors to upload course information for easy student access. There is an accessible exchange of information between professors and students.
Learners submit course assignments by posting on discussion forums and submitting tasks through applicable links. To submit a research paper, for instance, a student using the forum, could click on the particular assignment link to upload the finished product. Professors may provide feedback to the student through comments or email.
One issue that arises in the online classes versus traditional classes debate relates to test-taking, since professors and students communicate virtually. Professors do not oversee the process to ensure that no cheating occurs. To solve this issue, departments may require degree seekers to visit centers where a proctor can supervise the assessment. Another option involves using online proctoring services that monitor students as they work. If the learner exhibits any behavior that indicates cheating, the service may alert the school. This process permits degree candidates to take assessments away from campus, and also provides schools with confidence that students honestly earned their grades.
Are Online Law Classes Easier Than Traditional On-Campus Programs?
When weighing the pros and cons of online law study, students can take comfort in the solid education virtual learning delivers. Required coursework remains similar between traditional and online courses, with students completing exams, papers, presentations, quizzes, and projects in either format. Each of these assignments may come with a deadline that online or on-campus degree candidates must meet.
Online learners typically submit forum posts to engage in peer discussion, which acts as a substitute for in-person class attendance. Weekly readings and course lectures surface in both delivery methods, supplying on-campus and distance learners with solid course information. This combination makes online learning both effective and engaging.
