The course readings are posted on the Web site and contain useful photographs, diagrams, and figures to help explain the relevant topics.
Students submit multiple-choice exercises pertaining to that particular weeks subject matter.
These exercises are graded automatically using a script developed by the ASU Distance Learning technology group. We are currently working on more interactive exercises as the technology for on-line evaluation and assessment develops. In the first semester of the course, five students enrolled and completed the course. Over the summer we made some major revisions to the course, including the addition of an on-line Bulletin Board in which students could communicate among themselves or with the instructor or both. This fall 15 dedicated students have enrolled and are busy finding every ghost in the machine.
