Longmans, July 2000. Enrolled students should attend at least two meetings as well as the orientation and final exam. While students will be completing most of the work at home in their own time, this is not a correspondence course. Enrolled students check regularly into our classroom website to get assignments for the week, discuss the readings and complete exercises. Almost every Friday, students submit either an essay or a short multiple choice logic quiz.
Distance education offers great benefits, but it can also be very demanding.
To succeed requires self-motivation, organization, and assertiveness. Before choosing this or any online course, it's essential to take a minute to reflect on whether this kind of course will suit you. There is nothing wrong with deciding that you are more suited to on-campus classes. People have different learning styles. It's important to understand how you work best, and to be realistic about how much you can do.
