Students must be self-motivated and responsible for their own learning. This class is harder than the traditional class, because much of the class is application of learned knowledge. Students must read, understand and apply the information to real life situations, through assignments and quizzes. Make some time each day to work on readings, assignments and quizzes. If a student encounters difficulties during the on-line course, contact the instructor immediately for assistance.
Communication is the key to on-line success.
Be respectful of other's opinions, especially in the discussion areas. Students are expected to participate in all areas of the course, especially the discussion. Points will be deducted for non-participation. Students are expected to spend at least 160 hours on this 3 hour class. Most of the time will be spent reading, preparing for quizzes, and thinking about the assignments.
