And it's a good bet that if one person doesn't understand something - it is a shared sentiment among other students. No matter how well you try to prepare for class, sometimes there is a glitch. Sometime students have great ideas for increasing course management chores. And when it's not possible to address their requests, a quick reply can at least help students to feel that they have been heard. Left unaddressed, this complaint would surely reappear on a end of quarter course evaluaton, and it's unlikley that this student would have expressed such frustration directly to the instructor.
Advanced warning pays off.
The catalog is accessible using a web browser interface and a keyword searchable database that lists the school, course titles, fees, active terms, and faculty of record. The types of courses offered include undergraduate credit, graduate credit, continuing credit, and certificate-granting in all discipline subjects, with the greatest number of courses in business, english, health sciences, Management, and Psychology. Each listing includes a link to a transitional page developed by the school offering the course so that separate institutional identities will still be maintained. Transitional pages provide expanded information on each course, such as frequency of on-site contact, enrollment limit, registration dates, enrollment procedures, the method of communications between students and instructors, method of course instruction, and technical specification or requirements. The OU campus statewide coordinator is Chris Fahey.
