COURSE DESCRIPTION |
|||
|
This
is a hybrid course that combines classroom instruction with online. Students
and instructor will meet part of the time in the classroom and the rest of
the work is done online via the Internet. We think this format gives
students the best of both worlds--the classroom and the Internet--and at the
same time, allows more flexibility. To participate in the course, you
must attend the regular classes on campus. You also must have access to
the Internet for the online portion of the class. Most students use a
home computer with Internet access. You may also come to campus to
participate in the online learning: checking and responding to your email,
doing online assignments, and taking practice quizzes, when it is most
convenient to you but before the due date. To succeed in a Hybrid course: The Hybrid courses are best
