Students read lessons online and in required textbooks.
Through the class's online forum, students join classmates and the instructor in asking and answering questions and sharing comments about the lessons, and about published essays. Students write a variety of formal short essays, at least one essay-type examination, regular informal reading responses, and perhaps occasional quizzes. Some writing will be completed on campus under firm time limits, but most work will be written elsewhere and submitted via the web. Students have opportunities to share and discuss work with classmates online. Students are expected to check the Course Announcements page regularly, to complete all assignments, to submit written work on or before assigned due dates, and to participate regularly in online class discussions of course materials.
