Spring semester classes get under way on Wednesday, Jan. 17, and Monday, Jan. 29. The college offered five Internet classes in the spring of 1999, and a dozen last spring. OCC's courses are taught online via the Internet, and may also include a pair of mandatory on-campus class meetings.
Students interact with instructors via e-mail.
The 35 courses offer from one-half to four units of college credit each. Each course is taught by a full-time Orange Coast College professor. It's very helpful for online students to have their own home computers, but not essential. If need be, students may use the computers and software available on campus in OCC's John R. Clark Computer Center. Students living in this 'Information Age' will discover that they can truly enjoy taking a music history course by means of this new technology.
