This course is offered either on campus in a traditional classroom, or as a distance education course. Regular classroom sections are scheduled both day and evening. When ECON 102 is presented as a distance education course, interactive CD-ROM technology is used in place of classroom lectures, and internet communication is used in place of classroom discussion. Distance education sections meet on campus for an orientation session, two midterm examinations, and a final examination. The meetings on campus are on Saturdays.
Students prepare answers to web-based questions as part of the required work of the course.
Access to an internet account is required.
