There are no meetings in a classroom. The bulk of this class consists of Web-based exercises which involve visiting various Web sites that contain information on United States geography. These Web exercises include interpreting online maps, satellite images, and air photographs. Students are responsible for their own work. This Web-based class requires a lot of self discipline, good writing skills, and a desire to learn.
Online courses require students to allocate adequate time to complete the required assignments.
In this course, students are required to spend between three and nine hours a week working on class assignments. Effective communication is essential in this online class. Students are encouraged to participate in online class discussions. They are especially encouraged to talk to the instructor through e-mail and by phone. Course Goals and Objectives 1.
