A new unit will be posted each week. The past units will be available for review but new units will not be available until scheduled. You are expected to participate regularly and there are due dates to help keep you on track. When you do the work, is up to you. That is the beauty of an online class any time anywhere, but within the deadlines.
Students can communicate with each other and the instructor by email and chat.
Work groups will be formed early in the semester and students collaborate on the 2 group projects. One of the benefits of on-line classes is group support and help with the other projects throughout the semester. Students who participate regularly in the threaded discussion and turn in the projects usually score higher on the tests and accumulate higher point totals by the end of the semester. It is very helpful if you know how to cut and paste, how to search the Internet, and know a little about how to manage your computer files. As a result of this course, your computer skills and your ability to research on the Internet will be much improved.
