Unlike a traditional class, this course will not take take place in a classroom, instead all instruction will be delivered over the Internet. This type of online instruction will be accomplished by reading assigned material, viewing video clips, and working on tutorials. As a student, you are expected to complete weekly homework assignments through a web based program called MyMathLab.
In addition, you are REQUIRED to come to campus to take ONE Midterm and ONE Final Examination.
Be aware, a distance learning environment is not suited for everyone. Students who tend to procrastinate and complete assignments at the last minute will not do well in this course. Such students are advised not to enroll. Success in this class depends on you making the time to learn the material. Since there is no class to attend, you must establish a daily routine for working on course material.
