Telecourse students work independently, watch televised programs, and read printed materials at home with guidance from course facilitators who use a variety of communication tools and instructional techniques. Required on-campus class meetings are fewer than traditionally taught classes. Cablecasts are available through an arrangement with the local cable provider. Students registering for cablecasts can view the class in the comfort of their homes or tape the broadcast for later viewing. This course is managed similarly to telecourses.
Students report to the campus for tests as deemed necessary by the instructor.
